As a kid, when I developed my interest in our desi superheroes my elder brother introduced me to the concept of plagiarism. He gave me a couple of Superman and Batman comics… well, our heroes were not directly based but heavily influenced by the Marvel/DC characters. But this handshake with years old characters sparked an itch in me to go through all the possible timelines and storylines I could. A nerd was born and from there started a journey which took me to the cinema hall last night to catch the first justice league movie.

I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether you want to watch the movie or not but for me it was a lot of nostalgia loosely packed in two hours.

Nostalgia, because I blushed when Princesses Diana saw Bruce checking his wounds… and also because Superman and Flash were going to race. Man, it was so awesome to catch that entire graphic to motion picture changes.

I enjoyed every single bit of it but at times I also felt that DC is in some kind of hurry. You know, like a friend who is back from a vacation and wants to tell you every possible thing in a single breath.

I had this same feeling while watching Dawn of Justice. Where on one hand Marvel took sufficient time to narrate the story and make necessary changes every now and then, on the other hand, I find DC’s attempt quite rushed.

Well, the thing is for an avid comic reader like me it is a great time. Watching Ragnarok two weeks back and catching Justice League this week is nothing but pure bliss.

And also, is it just me or anyone else also think that Batman’s character also seems to be jinxed like Defense against the Dark Arts position?
