Comic Book Movies

Movies based on comics and other literary sources have increased these days. Everyone watches the new Christopher Nolan Batman movies, but very few know the comics or atleast the cartoon series. This is to help every know a bit of the back story so that everyone can enjoy the upcoming movie to its full.

1. The New Batman movie:

Christopher Nolan will be presenting his last installment of the Batman movies and the movie is called "The Dark Knight Rises". The Principal Villain this time is Bane and a could-be villain character is Selina Kyle (Less emphasis is given to her and hence her transformation to Catwoman is doubtful). To pose as people who know the comics one has to know the following.

The character of Batman is one of the very few Superhero comics where the protagonist has no superpowers but instead has trained his body and mind to very high levels so he can protect the innocent. As a kid Bruce Wayne (Batman) witnesses his parents' murder and is driven into an obsession of fighting crime. To fight crime effectively he travels across the world learning Martial Arts, Deductive skills and knowledge of how an evil mind works. He creates the persona of Batman to scare the criminals and to bring peace to the city of Gotham. Batman never uses a gun, having seen it being used on his parents. He is also the only one to have the Kryptonite bullets to kill Superman (which Superman himself gave him) to be used if ever Superman turns evil. The Detective as he's famously called has a strong sense of morality. When the villain named Darkseid creates clones of Batman to use them for world domination the clones inherit his sense of justice and hence commit suicide to stop Darkseid from using them.

Bane: Bane was raised in a prison. Since the authorities fail to capture his father( a revolutionary fighting against the government) they capture a young Bane and imprison him. In the Pena Dura prison Bane dedicates himself to earn authority and trains his body to very high levels and thanks to the many inhabitants of the prison he gets himself educated. After becoming a physically intimidating person he declares himself the King of the Pena Dura Prison. The prison authorities notice his physicality and force him into becoming a test subject for a poisonous steroid like substance called Venom. Venom increase his size and strength to superhuman levels and he becomes increasingly dependent on it. Having had nightmares of a demonic bat since his childhood he starts to believe that he is destined to fight Batman. To declare himself as the "King of Gotham" he deviates Batman by first helping the inmates of Gotham's prison to escape. It takes many sleepless and food-less days and nights for Batman to round up the escaped convicts and return them to prison. On the verge of exhaustion he is confronted by Bane who defeats him and breaks his back. Thus Bane becomes the only one to ever 'break the bat'. Bruce passes his Cowl and Cape to his fellow superhero friend Azreal who defeats Bane with the help of an updated Bat-suit. Bruce eventually recovers from his injuries and returns to his duty as Batman and eventually defeats Bane during another confrontation.

The first confrontation between Batman and Bane is the primary plotline for the comic book "KnightFall". The new movie seems to follow the plotline of knightfall very closely seeing the emphasis that is given to Bane.

Telugu

The passing of yesteryear writer 'Mullapudi Venkataramana' got me thinking on how less I know about Telugu literature. I haven't yet read any of his works or that of any big writer. Nothing from Sri Sri, Bharago, Chalam, or anyone. Don't even know the names of writers from the pre-independence era. What do we know about the language? How many of us know about the literary history of our language.
I've always thought the following things about the different south Indian states. Karnataka has the Carnatic music as its speciality, Kerala has Kalaripayattu, Tamil has the basic dravida culture running through their veins. What do we have?
We have arts. Lalitha Kalalu. Of all the peope I know only us Telugus have given so much importance to arts and literature. Developing a language for comunication is itself an incredible task. Developing poems and songs structures is all together an incredible task. Imagine how much work has gone into developing the syntax and grammar of a language. And how incredible it is that people have written poems in a language. Writting a poem itself takes a lot of creativity but also having contests in it is just too wonderful.
If you rewind to the times of 'Sri Krishna Devaraya' when people had poetry competitions and when only the last phrase of a poem was given and a poet was asked to complete as a proper poem that was the best time for Telugu literature. If those were the standards of Telugu hundreds of years ago then its current status would be incredible. But the truth is quite different, isn't it? I had to write this in English 'coz not many of us can read telugu anymore or atleast at normal speed. English is the need of the day. Its what we need to survive but Telugu is what we are. Speaking in Telugu in your daily life is not enough. READ IT, LEARN IT and be a proper Telugu fella. If we don't know our language who else will?
Note: Most importantly don't listen to the lyrics of the new Telugu songs if you want to get a hold on Telugu literature 'coz there are no good lyricists left(Sitaram Sastri doesnt write much anymore). We are stuck with chandra bose's awesomely dumb "Soku maada సోమాజిగూడ".

HAPPY POST - I

Posting happy things is not my normal thing but apparently it helps staying sane. So here goes..

Amongst the very few things that make me happy from all the infinite things in life are songs with great lyrics. One of the most funny and good lyrics belong to the film BABAI ABBAI. Scenario: Babai (Sutthi Veerabhadra Rao) and Abbai (Balakrishna) are happy-not-so-lucky guys who owe money to a lot of people. They promise everyone that they're gonna pay off their debts with the help of a play. While on-stage they decide to play 'Sita-Rama Sangramam'. The lyrics of this song are awesome. Check out the following words:

Seetha: గోల్డెన్ లేడీ ని తేరా ....
రామ: సీత ఆపవే కూత ......
