My Thoughts On 'Batman v Superman'

A movie analysis from a DC fanatic

My Thoughts On 'Batman v Superman'
Ross A. Lincoln

Finally, DC films are coming out their shell! Don't get me wrong, The Dark Knight Trilogy was not a let-down, but Man of Steel needed a little work. Now, DC gives us Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. It surpassed my expectations. This article composes my thoughts of the newest film, and I warn you now: there are some spoilers.

After having the fifth Batman in my generation, I had really not given a lot of thought towards Ben Affleck stepping into the suit. However, I recall my previous judgments toward that casting. Batman is amazing, and I honestly cannot wait to see more of Bat-fleck.

All the fantastic references made to the Joker were a great surprise, and if you noticed Robin's suit in the film, it left you wondering on the backstory on that one. Of course, if you have read the comics, you can piece together what may have happened. It does leave me interested in what all we missed on this Batman story line, so I hope we will get a Bat-fleck film soon.

The controversy surrounding Superman is great. This is the main problem that drives the film. Is Superman truly good, or is he inherently a danger to humanity? Being the Batman fan I am, I am completely biased to this question so I will not divulge into this. However, Superman does not disappoint in this film. I was glad to see some justice done to him after Man of Steel. I'm going to leave the conversation on Superman here to not ruin the film for those of you who have yet to see it.

Next up is Wonder Woman. I thought she was fantastic. Of course, Bruce Wayne throws some comparisons to Cat Woman at her after stealing something that was here, which I found interesting. However, they portrayed her so well, but I wish we would have seen more of her! She marches her way into the fighting role to save the guys. It was perfect. When we see her fight, she is such a domineering piece on the board. The movie producers did well introducing a strong female character, to say the least.

I will say this a million times over, but Jesse Eisenberg made the film. His performance as Lex Luther was brilliant. He stole the film for me, and again, I find myself loving the villains of the DC universe. I could ramble and ramble about how great Eisenberg was, but I really don't want to spoil the film as much as I can. Anyway, if you know anything about the comics, I think you will enjoy Eisenberg's performance.

Lastly, I want to hit on the promise of the next films, which I presume are going to be the Justice League based on this film's ending. Jason Momoa as Aquaman has me almost as excited as the release of Suicide Squad. I mean, just look at the justice we finally have of Aquaman.

We also got a peak at Ezra Miller as the Flash and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. I can't wait for the upcoming films. I'm so happy we are finally getting into the realm of DC comics.

Anyway, I tried not to give you too many spoilers, just some character analysis. Despite the reviews the film received, I really enjoyed it. I am, however, a total comic nerd, so it's really hard to disappoint me in these sorts of films (except 2009s Wolverine). I recommend that you see Batman vs. Superman because it truly is what I've been waiting for DC to give us.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
