Pan Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a movie about two superheroes in an “epic” fight that could have ended in a three minutes’ conversation. Instead of wrapping up the Batman trilogy, Warner Bros. Pictures and Zack Snyder brought back Transformer -- and no, that is not a jab at Transformers because it’s at least humorous -- Batman. Also if you’re wondering, yes, it’s supposed to be a Superman movie even though it doesn’t feel like it.
If you saw Man of Steel and the trailer to this movie, and expect more, then you’re probably going to be disappointed. If you expect anything in the story other than a fight between Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Clarke Kent (Henry Cavill), then you’re probably going to be disappointed. There is so much going on in the movie yet so little of it actually tells the story. …show more content…

Bruce ventures through the city after the fight and seeing the aftermath, which is how his conflict (How does Bruce want to deal with Superman’s destruction? By starting another fight with Superman.) with Clarke arises. Like Bruce, the people of Metropolis also isn’t keen of Superman nowadays. Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) a local business man suggest we utilize Kryptonite to prevent Superman and others from Krypton from doing further damage to our home planet. While Clarke battles with his inner conflict of being who he is, Bruce is busy at work figuring out a way to kill Superman. FINALLY, Lex kidnaps Clarke’s adoptive mother and demands him to kill

Obsessive Need To Look Like The Hero In March By Geraldine Brooks

1629 Words | 7 Pages

From a young age, children are told that the good guys are the ones wearing the superhero suit: they help those in need while maintaining a good reputation among others. But, most heroes are only known by their “stage name”, like Superman, and Clark Kent doesn’t get the everyday recognition of the people around him, like his alter ego does. If people learn that Clark Kent and Superman are the same, they will view him in a better light. But when an everyday person sees themselves as a superhero, their ego can grow unreasonably high. Geraldine Brooks, in her novel March, shows that an obsessive need to look like the hero is just a ruse for an inflated ego.

The Iron Giant Analysis

931 Words | 4 Pages

Gifted with incredible endurance and super strength, the ability of flight, and an impeccable moral compass, Superman is the quintessential superhero that Americans of all ages have admired and looked up to since his conception in 1938. In Brad Bird’s 1999 feature animation The Iron Giant, the fifty-foot metal protagonist is no exception. Hiding out in a barn, he peers at an issue of the Superman comic book like an amused child with his eyes wide and mouth agape. His closest human companion, nine-year old Hogarth, sits before the giant and explains to him, “Sure, he’s famous now, but he started off just like you! Crash landed on Earth…he only uses his powers for good, never for evil.”

How Did The Reformation Affect The Renaissance

150 Words | 1 Pages

I really enjoyed reading your post. I felt that the way you summed up the Reformation and its effects during the Renaissance was great. Your Response regarding the Reformation not being just a religious movement was short, yet to the point. Additionally, regarding the values of the Reformation I too grew up with this way of thinking and feel that the influence of the Reformation has affected most if not all of us in one way or the other. In fact, most of these attributes are expected and when not present the disapprovals apparent.

How Can Batman Vs. Superman Might Be A Silly Idea

862 Words | 4 Pages

Superman’ trailer is considered a huge mistake. There is debate whether the trailer showed the core plot of ‘Batman v. Superman’ too much. Even if the trailer does not show much, the meta-plot that we watched through the trailer is too simple and cannot help people from thinking that ‘Batman v. Superman’ considered as a rip off of ‘The Avenger’. If only the rumor is true that Christian Bale will return as the real Batman and Ben Affleck’s Batman is actually fake Batman—which rumor said he will play Deathstroke—the judgment to the plot will change dramatically. I honestly hope that
