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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
