Why I Think The Dark Knight Is The Best Superhero Movie of All Time:

I credit ScreenRant for helping me with listing the following reasons. Now, I saw on Stand with Ward and Queen's profile reasons why The Dark Knight was overrated. I agreed some of them, others? Not too much and I really felt I needed to get this message out. I could've kick-started a whole argument with him (or her) but I decided to do this instead. Please note, I'm not saying that The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie of all time. I'm listing reasons as to why I think that it is the best superhero movie of all time.

Heath Ledger's Acting: Honestly, The Dark Knight movie is so awesome because of Heath Ledger's amazing acting. Ledger was dedicated to his role as The Joker. He even locked himself in a hotel room for weeks just to do the role right. Ledger's amazing acting was consistent and when it wasn't, it was because it was much better. In fact, during the party crashing scene, Micheal Caine (the actor who plays Alfred in The Dark Knight Trilogy) actually forgot all his lines because that's how terrified he was of Ledger's acting. Heath Ledger? More like Heath Legend. Rest in peace, Heath (Legend) Ledger. You're an angel now.

It Spends As Much Time With Bruce Wayne As It Does With Batman: Another good thing about The Dark Knight is that it spends just as much time with boy billionaire Bruce Wayne as it does with Batman. See, the thing that true Batman fans (such as myself) know, is that Bruce Wayne and Batman are two separate people. Bruce sees his billionaire self as a lie, a facade to cover up his vigilantism. He sees Batman as his true and real self. Plus, many Batman movies spend more time with Batman than they do with Bruce. The Dark Knight doesn't repeat that mistake and it's a good thing. We get to see both sides of Batman than just one. In a way, we see that Batman is a good version of Two-Face in some form.

The Fall of Harvey Dent: Harvey Dent's fall from grace and landing in Hell was tragic but it was absolutely legendary. Aaron Eckhart's acting and Christopher Nolan's directing were both amazing. In the beginning, we're introduced to Dent as a brave lawyer, the savior of Gotham (no, Batman, you're not a joke to us), the White Knight (as contrast to Batman, who is a Dark Knight). Then, slowly we see Dent revealing his true colors, cracking and cracking. Finally, we see Dent break. We see him kill and he kills ruthlessly, not for revenge or justice but to merely reveal who is and always was underneath. Honestly, Harvey's downfall and transformation into Two-Face was the best downfall ever. The only thing that can match that is Doctor Octopus' fall in Spider-Man 2.

Batman's Sacrifice: Another legendary thing about The Dark Knight is Batman's sacrifice in the ending scene. Not only does this define Batman's character (as he is willing to do whatever it takes to save Gotham), but it also shows how strong he is. It shows his stoic nature as Batman can deal with the toughest of times and be as calm as ever. See, if we had literally any other hero, Marvel or DC, they would've been honest with the people and told them the truth. Then, everything would've been undone and chaos would be unleashed upon Gotham. Batman knows better, he knows that sometimes, the truth isn't enough. He knows that sometimes, you have to be more than a hero. You have to be what the people around you need you to be and sometimes that isn't always a hero. Batman is one person who understands that and the final sacrifice he makes at the ending scene is the kind of sacrifice only The Dark Knight can make, hence the movie name.

Real World Consequences/Realistic Problems: The Dark Knight (along with the rest of The Dark Knight Trilogy) is arguably the best real world example of what life with a superhero would be like. It delivers a realistic approach to what a real world Batman would be like, striped away of anything supernatural and showing a normal world setting with an amazing Batman.

Inspired By Some of The Best Batman Comic Book Storylines: The Dark Knight movie was inspired by two of the best Batman comic book (and animation movie) storylines. Having taken inspiration from Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: The Killing Joke, The Dark Knight ended up being one of the best superhero movies of all time, having given some interesting origins to Harvey Dent/Two-Face and taking inspiration from The Killing Joke to describe Joker's origin story (or rather what we know about it).

A Dark Representation of Batman: The problem with movies like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Cut or Theatrical) is that while they are dark, they're too dark. The Dark Knight fixes this problem by giving us a dark version of Batman (and what a world with him in it would be like) while also not going too far with that darkness, therefore, making this representation of Batman much more comfortable and enjoyable.

Great Casting Choices: You can't point out how amazing The Dark Knight is as a movie without mentioning the amazing casting choices. Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Heath Ledger as The Joker, Micheal Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson as Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman (I will confess, I was least impressed with her performance/character. It's not that I didn't like it, I just preferred everyone else's over her's), I could go on and on about the great casting choices. All the actors and actresses were dedicated to their roles and they made amazing performances. Big round of applause for the cast of The Dark Knight Trilogy, please.

Shows I used to like:

Supergirl (It had an interesting on B-list characters but the show has pretty much gone on for too long now as a lot of the good characters, *cough* Winn *cough, have left by now. And Alex getting superpowers? C'mon CW, you can do much better than that.)

Legends of Tomorrow (Wow, B-list characters from comic book movies/TV shows sure are popular, huh? This series had a great take with the necessity of the Legends having to time travel to save the Earth in the future. However, at this point the show went from a good science fiction movie to a stupid comedy show. Season three is where things began to go down hill, season four ruined things and I just didn't even bother watching season five, not even for Crisis on Infinite Earths.)

Favorite Characters:

Arrowverse: Oliver Queen, John Diggle, Barry Allen, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Killer Frost, Godspeed, Adrian Chase, Eobard Thawne, Quentin Lance

MCU: Captain America, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Thor, Leopold Fitz, Ant-man, Hulk, Thanos, Black Panther, Iron Man, War Machine, Falcon, Spider Man

DC Comic Book Universe: Batman, Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg

Characters I don't like and why:

Harry Potter: All Weasley's except for Ron, Fred and George (They have zero consideration or care for Ron's feelings. They welcomed Harry like a son but completely cast out Ron, who is their actual son. That was downright pathetic, stupid and unjustifiable.)

Arrowverse: Iris (She's arrogant, she sucks, she's too damn egoistical, she treats herself like a queen and treats everyone else like her servants, making them bow before her. Plus, Iris always has disrespect towards whatever/whoever she can't control. It sucks. She sucks and she can go to Hell for all I care.)

Nora West-Allen: (I was open to and felt bad for her, knowing how she had to grow up without Barry as her father and that Iris dampened her powers, can't say I'm surprised as Iris always fears/hates what she can't control. However, her working with Thawne and giving him a chance after everything that murdering psychopath did and Nora damn well knowing it, that pushed me over edge. The fact she never even considered telling Barry about this is even worse, in some way, it's as if Nora's as much of a lying psychopath as Thawne. I'm not a fan anymore and the only reason I was hyped in The Flash 7x16 was because Bart arrived, I didn't care too much for Nora.)

MCU: Daisy Johnson (Mixed Opinion, it's not that I don't like her, I have a mixed opinion on her. I was literally in love with her as Skye in AoS season one, I liked the show's take on her Inhuman/true heritage as well as her powers in season two. Season three, however, is where things started to go downhill. I really hated the way where Daisy didn't feel any guilt for the whole Inhuman Crisis thing, it's not that I blame her for it. However, Daisy's attitude towards it is all 'oops, started a crisis and thousands, maybe even millions are dying because they aren't like me. Anyways, time for me to help recruit some inexperienced humans and get a relationship with Lincoln'. Like seriously, W.T.F.?! Then, when Lincoln died, Daisy broke down and she left S.H.I.E.L.D and went rogue. Now, I don't blame Daisy for leaving. I don't expect her to be that emotionless but still her going rogue completely ruined it for me as well as her major character change. In the first two seasons, she's comparable to Barry Allen/The Flash from the Arrowverse, which I like. However, in season three, she's portrayed as a super-powered-Melinda-May-like-emotionless character with a Batman personality. It didn't suit her and I wasn't all that fond of it. Honestly, the only I can deal with her now is through my fanfiction stories and that's pretty much it.)

Favorite Pairings:

These are pairings that I love and ship no matter what. I might do some of these pairings in my stories.

Still being updated*

Arrowverse:

Barry/Caitlin - Don't even get me started on the chemistry between these two! They have so much chemistry and they care about and love one another. The only real reason these two didn't end up together was because of the pesky and shitty Iris West. Honestly, season four should've been Barry recovering from guilt over Iris' death and Caitlin recovering over what she did as Killer Frost, along with SnowBarry happening. These two just should've happened.

Barry/Patty - Lots of chemistry between these two! They have so much in common: the loss of at least one parent, their dedication to justice and their love of forensic science, criminology and etc. I so wish that these two ended up together and that Iris just died when that glass shard hit her in season 2 of The Flash, she deserved it.

Oliver/Sara - Definitely a lot of chemistry between these two. They've been together since the beginning and their boat trip together which pretty much kicked off the entire Arrowverse. I definitely ship these two, the show runners gave such a lame excuse to separate them.

Disliked Pairings:

These are pairings you will never see me write about unless one of these people died or a breakup or something like that.

Still being updated*

Arrowverse:

Barry/Iris - Honestly, this is such a one-sided relationship. Barry cares about and loves Iris but Iris doesn't give a damn about Barry's feelings, she couldn't care less about them. She broke up with him after Barry was almost beaten to death by Savitar in 3x15 and 5x19 just proves how little care she has for Barry's feelings. Seriously, Iris deserves an award for managing to destroy the entire Arrowverse. Someone kill this woman already!

MCU:

Daisy Johnson/Lincoln Campbell - Lincoln is an arrogant, reckless, self-centered jerk. He doesn't just love Daisy, he is uncontrollably obsessed with her. When I see how damn obsessed he is with her, I get the urge to be like 'buddy, chill down a bit'. Also, when Daisy went rogue after Lincoln's death, there were some moments where I just wanted to sit her down and be like 'girl, he's not worth it'.

Iris West: Hero or Villain?

Over the course of The Flash TV Show, Iris has gone on to become somewhat of an iconic character in not only The Flash but even the Arrowverse itself. However, while she has made heroic decisions and moves, there have been times where she was as, if not more, villainous than Eobard Thawne himself. So this begs the question: is Iris really a hero? Or is she a wolf in sheep's clothing? Let's break it down season by season.

Season One: In season one, we get introduced to Iris as Barry's adoptive sister, long-time best friend and crush of Barry Allen. We go on to see that Barry has feelings for Iris but Iris doesn't really feel the same way and there were times where she was just way out of line. Iris sabotaged Barry's relationship with Linda, flirted with him in front of Eddie and even blamed him for Eddie being kidnapped where it was clear Barry couldn't do anything about it. Point: Villain

Season Two: In season two, we don't really see too much of Iris mourning the death Eddie Thawne but instead we see her encouraging Barry to go to the whole Flash Day thing and after that she basically forgets Eddie. Iris basically acted as if she never knew Eddie at all, now while this may have been the show's attempt to show Iris bouncing back quickly, it was a very flawed attempt. She even tried to 'get together' with Barry all because they were together in an alternate universe, c'mon Iris, what part of 'alternate earth' do you not understand? Point: Villain.

Season Three: This is where Iris' villainy really starts to develop. She keeps trying to control Wally and what he does in this season all the way until he becomes Kid Flash. In mid-season three, Iris broke up with Barry and even shoved it in his face right after Barry was nearly beaten to death by Savitar. Not only that but it took Barry having a near-life-or-death experience (3x17) for Iris to actually connect with him (okay seriously, what the Hell is wrong with this woman?). Point: Villain

Season Four: Now my hatred for Iris really continues. In this season alone, Iris forced Barry to go see a therapist with her (when she damn well knows that Barry hates shrinks, told him right to his face that he was nothing without her (when she gives him that crappy 'you are not The Flash, Barry, we are' saying), bosses all of Team Flash around when she has no damn right at all and even took charge without doing anything for them or contributing to them in any way. Whereas her comics and animation counterparts are much, much better. Talk about character assassination. Point: Villain

Season Five: If Iris' villainy in the Arrowverse is a mountain, then this season is it's peak. Though 5x19 is (in my opinion) the only episode that shows Iris as a villain, it goes very, very far. Iris shoves it in Barry's face that she didn't give a damn if her and Barry's daughter was working with a psychopath who murdered her husband's mother and ruined his life all because he wanted to defeat The Flash. This clearly proves that Iris not only doesn't care for Barry but doesn't care about anyone at all. She won't rest until people do exactly what she says, this isn't Iris being Barry's wife (or lightning rod), leader and/or member of Team Flash or even a good person in general. This is Iris being an emotionless, psychopathic control freak. Point: Villain

Conclusion: I would go on to describe Iris in season six and the episodes of season seven that have come out but as you can clearly see, there is more than enough evidence for me to conclude. While Iris' intentions are (sometimes) good, she only ends up giving viewers the villainy vibe. Iris West in the comics and animation is literally the best person ever, I have no words for how awesome and bad ass she is. However, her TV Show counterpart is the worst thing to ever happen in general. If the whole point of The Flash TV Show is to prove how much of a villain Iris is, well, they just gave themselves an A plus, plus, plus.

(The bottom paragraph is from Stand with Ward and Queen's profile, I decided post this on mine and just go with it)

This is a true story. A girl died in 1933. A man buried her when she was still alive. The murder chanted, "Toma Sota balcu," as he buried her. Now that you have read this chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this on your profile, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded. Lucillia Just incase.

The Flash: One Time Each Season Did Better Than The Others

The CW's The Flash TV Show has gone on to be, arguably, one of the best superhero shows ever made. Each season had it's moments and it's highlights and there are still many arguments as to which season is the best. However, there has been at least one time that each season did better than all the others. Let's find out how and why.

Season One: Hero's Journey

The reason season one of The Flash is highly praised is because of the one thing all superhero's must have: a hero's journey. Barry's journey to a hero in season one is, in my opinion, the best hero's journey in the Arrowverse. We get to see Barry go from a guy who wanted nothing more than to free his father (who was imprisoned for killing his mother, a crime he didn't commit) from prison to the best and greatest hero the Arrowverse could ever have. Barry's evolution throughout all of season one from zero to hero is very interesting, his moral code and good personality were big contributing factors. The following seasons of The Flash can do whatever they want, they will never best the hero's journey from season one.

Season Two: Introduction to the Multiverse

The thing that makes season two better than every other season is our introduction to the multiverse, which played a massive role in the following episodes of nearly every Arrowverse show and the following crossovers. The multiverse (could've) proved the original Justice League's existence in the Arrowverse until Crisis on Infinite Earths. The multiverse was yet to be introduced and season two absolutely nailed it, we got to see Earth 2's version of Central City (which in my opinion was amazing) and Supergirl was able to move from CBS and to the CW thanks to Barry traveling to Earth 38 (which formed the Arrowverse version of The Trinity). The multiverse was a necessary part of the Arrowverse all the way until it's death during Crisis on Infinite Earths and we have to thank season two for giving on Hell of an introduction.

Season Three: Killer Frost Introduction

The one thing about season three that makes it better than all the other seasons is the introduction to Killer Frost. In the comics, Killer Frost was a mighty and powerful villain/anti-hero and fans (myself included) were dying to see her on-screen. Danielle Panabaker absolutely killed it (no pun intended) as Killer Frost and this was a certainly interesting topic for me when I was watching season three of The Flash. Killer Frost on-screen was interesting and I kinda liked her chemistry with Savitar, even if they didn't really pursue a completely romantic relationship. Need I say more?

Season Four: The Villain and Their Power

What makes season four of The Flash was the mainly the villain: Clifford DeVoe aka The Thinker. Now don't get me wrong, the other villains were good too but by 4x18, DeVoe became the most powerful and most deadly enemy in the entire Flash series (if not the entire Arrowverse). It was interesting to see DeVoe use his intelligence to fool Team Flash and to rise from the ashes. DeVoe made a complete fool out of Team Flash and he was able to outsmart and outclass them multiple times. Honestly, DeVoe is without doubt the most powerful villain in The Flash series.

Season Five: Miniature Flash Family

What makes season five of The Flash better than the others is one thing: The Flash Family. At the end of season four, we learn that the mystery girl is actually Barry and Iris' daughter Nora from the future. While Nora did come off as emotional (all the time), it was interesting to see a mini, TV show version of the Flash family from the comics.

Season Six: Epic Scale(s)

What makes season six of The Flash better than all the other is obviously the epic scale. We got to witness Crisis on Infinite Earths, the crossover of the century. We also got to see Bloodwork take over Central City and mind control Barry, making Central City doomed. Honestly, I got a pretty big 'The Dark Knight Rises' vibe from that and it was crazy cool.

The problems with WestAllen (borrowed from Stand with Ward and Queen's profile)

Usually, I like the relationship between Barry and Iris, but the Arrowverse's attempt at it is truly disgusting. There are a bunch of reasons why this relationship should not work and wouldn't work, and I am going to attempt to explain those reasons.

1: It reeks of incest: Barry and Iris were raised in the same house as brother and sister. In the Pilot, Iris even says they are basically siblings. Numerous people have referred to Joe and Barry, including Joe and Barry themselves, as father and son. When Iris and Barry first got together, Barry was uncomfortable kissing Iris in front of Joe because, as he put it, 'He's your...our...he's Joe.' If I was making out with someone and could honestly call there dad our dad, then there is a serious problem here.

2: It makes Barry look like a stalker: Barry seems obsessed with the idea of being with Iris, to the point he is so fixated on her that he sabotages all other possible relationships. He himself said 'sometimes great possibilities are right in front of us and we don't see them because we choose not to.' And there is nothing to really justify Barry's obsession because this isn't like someone who can't get over a failed relationship, it's an obsession. Frankly, Barry's behavior could even be grounds for a restraining order.

3: Iris does not understand Barry: The show certainly tries to make it seem like Iris knows Barry better than anyone else, but it's all just a trick. If she did, she'd have realized long before Barry told her that he had feelings for her. If she knew Barry at all, she would've suspected long before finding our he was The Flash that there was something going on with him. It's clear from her actions from when Barry lost his memories and her anger at him over going into the Speed Force that she does not truly understand the burden Barry bears as the city's protector. She can walk away anytime she wants, Barry can't, not because of his powers, but its because of who he is as Barry Allen. Since she does not understand that, she does not understand who Barry really is.

4: Iris treats Barry badly: Throughout season one, we see multiple occasions where Iris all but throws herself at Barry despite being with Eddie, then she uses being with Eddie as an excuse not to be with Barry, crushing poor Barry's heart. When Iris first finds out about Barry being the Flash, she raves at him and then blames him for Eddie being gone and then for Joe getting kidnapped by Grodd. When Iris finds out Barry only asked her to marry him to save her life, she calls off the engagement. This is understandable, but she chose to do this after Wally was trapped in the Speed Force and Savitar has beaten the crap out of Barry. Barry is already in immense physical and emotional pain when this happens, he didn't need this on top of everything else, especially considering she tells him by showing off her ring-less finger. After Barry comes back from the Speed Force, she brings him to counseling, when she knows Barry hates shrinks, and blames him for leaving her when she knows he had no choice and Barry can't defend himself, because he would expose his secret.

5: Iris is not good for Barry: The moment Iris and Barry got together, Barry became this selfish jackass who only cared about Iris, everything else was a distant second. Then, he becomes someone who for the most part, bows to Iris' whims. Whichever way you look at it, Barry becomes the worst version of himself when he is with Iris.

6: Barry cares about people, Iris doesn't: One of the fundamental aspects of being The Flash and Barry as a character is that he cares about people a lot. However, from Iris' actions, such as flirting with Barry in front of Linda and Eddie, kissing Barry while dating Eddie, dating Eddie and trying to keep it from Joe, blaming Joe and Barry for Eddie being taken by Thawne, keeping Wally a secret from Joe, making Barry go to Couples therapy when she knows he hates shrinks, just to name a few, it is clear Iris has little consideration for other people. If she can't connect with Barry in that way, it makes you wonder what he even sees in her. Frankly, Thawne messing with the timeline the way he did must have really changed Iris' personality, because I don't think Barry would have any desire to be around Iris at all if he hadn't grown up with her.

(Also from Stand with Ward and Queen's profile)

Dear bullies,

See that boy doing his homework in homeroom? Last night he talked his friend out of suicide.

See that girl you just called fat? She is starving herself.

See that old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars? He fought for our country.

See that young boy you must made fun of for always being sick? He has to walk home in the snow cause his family is too poor.

Re-post this if you are against bullying. I bet 95% of you won't.

Your life would probably not be as harsh as theirs.

(Bullying is sick, horrible and wrong. Post this on your profile if you think the same)

10/10
Avoid: WestAllen Pairing

I'm just gonna hand to you straight, the Arrowverse's take on WestAllen is an epic fail. It's pathetic and pretty sad really, I prefer the comics or the animation TV shows/movies' take on the relationship. The Arrowverse's take on WestAllen is, to quote Stand with Ward and Queen, 'truly disgusting'.
