Understanding a Scene: 'Batman v Superman'
In 2016, Zack Snyder released Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (BVS), a follow-up to his 2013 Superman film, Man of Steel.BVS expanded the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), not only giving us a sequel to the Superman story that started in Man of Steel, but also introducing us to Snyder's reimagining of The Batman. To say the film has been divisive is an understatement. Some passionately love it, and others dislike the liberty that Snyder took with these characters. I personally love this film, I regard it as a cinematic masterpiece and feel more films should aspire to reach the level of depth, thematic, and visual storytelling Snyder was able to achieve. One scene stands out the most in the midst of all the criticism, the “Save Martha” sequence. Not only is that one of, if not the most pivotal scene in the film, it is also the turning point for both Batman and Superman and literally marks the Dawn of Justice.

Marvel Superheroes That Could Theoretically Exist
Superheroes are fictional characters... There, I said it. Sorry to rain on your parade, but superheroes who possess certain abilities and powers can't actually be real. If you think so otherwise, then let me know how a human can obtain the same powers as the Hulk or Thor. I didn't think so either.

How Can DC Save Their Movie Universe?
If you’re reading this then the likelihood is that you’ve seen at least a portion of the movies on offer from Marvel and DC. If that is the case then you’ll be very aware of the disparity in quality that exists between the two cinematic universes. DC have been lagging behind for some time now with stale offering after stale offering and seemingly no idea how to break out of their tailspin. These are just a few suggestions of how to fix things.

Is Comic Book Justice Really Just?
Superheroes; they’re a paragon of virtue, the most moral of us all and those whom we can hold up high as something to strive for. At least, that is the intention behind the vast majority of them, but in reality, is comic book justice really just?

How Would Humanity React to Superheroes?
We live in a world dominated by superheroes. Both Avengers movies are in the top 10 highest grossing films of all time. Everywhere you look you see an ad for another superhero product. 5 different superhero movies have already come out in 2017, with 2 more slated to premiere later on this year. This superhero overload had me thinking, what if they were real. I'm not saying, how great would it be to be a superhero, but how would humanity as a whole react to the idea of superheroes. In order to determine that, we must first break down the different types of superheroes. Humanity would react differently to different types of superheroes, so let's break them down into 4 categories.
