A Home For My Head

Batman operates with a code, a code that does not in any circumstance justify killing. His decision not to be the executioner that many desire he become has now often lead to super-villains like Bane and the Joker to break out of prison and indulge in mass murdering people. After witnessing Joker setting off a nuke in the 'Injustice' storyline, killing Jason Todd in a 'Death in the family', & crippling Barbara Gordon in 'A Killing Joke', I too have questioned Batman's ways and if his 'No Killing Rule' makes any sense at all. The simple truth is that this self imposed limitation that he would not, despite self-admittedly wanting to, kill anyone is what makes his character that more hero & standout as a pinnacle of Justice. Even when it would be personally gratifying to him, he does not cross that line. That makes him more of a superhero than others. This only shows that he has not been corrupted by the power that he has, it is too easy for ...

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen" Well, who would have thought that Justice League, DC comic's answer to the Avengers will make less money than the universally beloved Wonder Woman standalone movie. To my infinite disappointment it is the ugly truth. Now that even the most loyal DC fans are turning on the studio, directors, writers, and each other, what is being lost is an ultimately flawed but enjoyable movie that is Justice League. Between being directed by Zack Snyder & Joss Whedon, and made by a studio devoid of confidence in the product, Justice League finds itself in shambles, after two weekends it is about to make 500 million dollars worldwide, but that number is nowhere near what everyone would have expected and ultimately Justice League will be the highest grossing box office disaster till date.  Leaving the bad box office, messy story, & messier mustaches aside, ever so hopeful that WB & DC will rise above this I have made this list to re...

Now for a spoiler free review: Justice League is a fun movie that does all of it's members Justice. While the Superman's mustache CGI looks ugly, you can get over it. Movie doesn't have any mind blowing plot twist or heavy character moments in general but it is a fast paced ride filled with joy and hope unlike BvS. There are quite a few funny moments and action is on point. Whenever I get out of a movie without ever being bothered to look at my phone once, it generally counts as a win for me. Here Batman is the badass we know and love, Wonder Woman is as graceful and charming as she has been in her previous two appearances in the DCEU, out of the new entrants I expected Jason Mamoa's Aquaman to shine the brightest but Erza Miller's Flash is the breakout star for me. He was super funny but due to the ever so present slo-mo action that has been a staple in DCEU, Superman is the one that gets the best slow motion moment rather than the Scarlet Speedster. Talking ...

If you have a look at the current position of DC comics and the content that it is putting out be it Comic books, animated movies, TV shows, video games, or whatever else they are making you would believe  that it is basically a brand of Batman & Others, while the recent Wonder Woman movie ( that is by the way first movie ever for a 75 year old character ) has given some of long due spotlight to her, the fact remains that in last decade DC Comics has become so focused on The Dark Knight that the Superhero that started it all in Action Comic #1 in June 1938  i.e. Superman  has been forced to take a backseat. It is not just that publishers are doing it on purpose why would they want one of their very few truly great characters to suffer? Fans  (haters?) are too responsible for shifting the focus off superman as they regularly moan, complain, & criticize dear old Supes.  So let me quash some of the criticism  that is being thrown towards Superman and...
