GOTHAM
link: Netflix
Season 4, Episode 2

This chapter is about fear. In this episode introduced us the Scarecrow and he is a new villain. He got an army because he wanted revenge of the GCPD (Gotham Police). Also was a surprising episode because it revealed that Barbara Kean was alive. She started to sell weapons for criminals of Gotham. In addition the episode continues with the story of Bruce Wayne. He was attacking and catching criminals until almost die because one of them had a gun. For that reason he got a new suit with more protection. I think this was a complete episode with an interesting story and we can hope an incredible season.

WATCHMEN Review

The article is about the movie "Watchmen" and it is an adaptation of comic with the same name. The article starts explaining the disagreement between Alan Moore (the author of the comics) and Warner Bros (the company that made the film). Alan Moore believed that Watchmen movie will be a mess. However, Zack Snyder (the director of the film) proved he could make an incredible movie. Also the article describes the characters and their ambitions. In addition the most important thing of the movie is the story. We have retired superheroes in 1985 with Cold War paranoia and the plot is about avoid a close war between US and Russia. Finally the conclusion is that Zack Snyder made an amazing work in this movie and he adapted faithfully the comic story.
