Batman

From worrisome to wholesome, here are UC Berkeley’s stories and legends that you might have missed on your campus tour.

Somewhere in between analyzing every villain’s batshit plots to kill Batman and concluding that The Penguin sucked, we became best friends.

And, in its pompous self-seriousness, incoherent narrative and utter lack of depth, the film succeeds — in being tragically bad.

The goals of each Batman villain make their story unique and beg the question: How would they achieve their goals if they went to UC Berkeley?

Somewhere between witnessing a sweaty Tom Hardy chomp on a live lobster and seeing the character of Venom soulfully tell Eddie Brock that he’d made him change his mind about humanity, I realized that “Venom” was not the version of the story that I’d grown up with.

In DC Comics’ latest comic book limited series, “Heroes in Crisis,” the trauma of fighting crime casts a long shadow: At a clandestine hospital, superheroes get treated for post-traumatic stress disorder. But when its patients are murdered, it’s up to Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman to find the killer.

Watching Jaden Smith run and bounce across the stage with a seemingly infinite supply of energy leaves no doubt that the 20-year-old rapper had an incredible time performing his Rolling Loud 2018 set.

Spielberg elicits an infectious sense of wonder that’s only topped by “Jurassic Park,” a genuine pathos missing from his late-career period pieces.

Christopher Nolan may have received that coveted nomination, but the industry’s unwillingness to celebrate him remains to a significant degree.
