Six important things Batman & Superman fans should have
Friday, March 25, 2016
In just a week’s time, one of the
summer’s biggest superhero films is set to break into Philippine cinemas:
Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice. The superhero movie directed by Zack
Snyder, an American filmmaker known for starting the DC Extended Universe film
series, will be the first ever live-action film to feature both DC Comic
characters, Batman and Superman. The film is a follow up to Superman: Man of Steel and inspired by the Batman limited series The
Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. No wonder fans have been going wild,
with advanced ticket sales worldwide slowly pacing ahead Marvel superhero box
office hits, Deadpool and Avengers. In anticipation of the
release, and in true DC Comic fan spirit, we’ll let you in on six important
things every Batman and Superman fan should buy online.
1. Superhero
Graphic Novels (takatack.ph)
If you’re going to do be a fan, you
cannot possibly live without owning at least a couple of essential superhero
graphic novels. For Superman fans, your must read is Superman Earth One, which
includes that iconic moment when Clark finally becomes Superman. Batman: Earth
One is the counterpart for Batman fans, but the crossroads for these two heroes
is really The Dark Knight Returns. Most people have a misconception that it’s just
about Batman, but no other comic book comes close to actually defining the
character of Superman than Frank Miller’s holy grail. You’ll have to buy it and
read it to find out why. You can order a copy from the Takatack store of
Galleon PH here.
2. Supermovies
As a Batman or Superman fan, having
watched any previous films about the two characters is pretty much a given.
Although if you’re just beginning to get into the fandom, and you can’t read
the graphic novels, at least watch the live adaptations of the two characters
so you can fully appreciate why the battle of Batman V Superman makes a
compelling story. You want to fully understand and choose, whose explicit code
of morality is superior? Who is more admirable? Which one makes a better model
in defining today’s culture and society? Who is more self-sacrificing? The best
way to get your fix is to get a subscription on Netflix and
supermarathon all the Batman and Superman films there.
3. Super Kitchenwear
Getting superabs is
as easy as putting on an apron. This one is for all the cooks out there who
want to feel like heroes in their own kitchen, saving the hungry, one dish at a
time. These Batman and Superman gems are
available on Takatack.ph.
4. The Superhero Look (zalora.ph +
sephora.ph)
There is no other
more iconic accessory for Superman than his horn-rimmed glasses which were used
to hide his alien identity, projecting instead the intelligent and
mild-mannered Clark Kent. These are
readily available at ZALORA
On the other hand,
while most men can’t keep up with billionaire Mr. Wayne’s bespoke Armani suits,
most guys can look the part by just getting their hair done well. We don’t have
a photo of Ben Affleck sporting the Bruce Wayne look yet because of the limited
footage, hence Christian Bale, but over the years in film or comics, Bruce
Wayne has always had his hair on point. Pomade or wax is key, and guys will
want something with good hold to hold their hair’s shape, but not rock hard so
that they can’t run their fingers through their hair. Sephora has a good
variety of styling products which you can check out here.
5. Supershirts
As we’re getting
nearer to the premier, you’ll want to choose your side and show your support
for the “better” superhero. It’s likely many people will show up at the cinemas
wearing some sign of support for their favorite superhero. Wear a classic Batman or
Superman shirt officially licensed by DC Comics and join the many
others showing their support for #TeamBatman or #TeamSuperman.
6. A
Superadvanced ticket to the showing
Everyone knows how big this movie is going to
be, and how hard it’s going to be to score tickets. The lines will be endless,
and the wait will be painful if you ever get to the front desk after hours only
to be told there aren’t any seats available for the day. Reserve your movie
tickets online instead. SM Cinemas and Robinson’s Movieworld are two online cinema platforms that let you
buy your tickets and choose your seats online.
Buying these things online may require you to
have a credit card. If you don’t have one, the best way to go about is to pay
with PayMaya instead. PayMaya is a free online payment app on Google Play Store and App Store that lets you buy
online without a credit card. All you have to do is download the app and
register with your mobile number. Once you activate your account by tapping
“Activate” on the app home screen, you’ll get your own card number, CVV, and
its expiration date on the app. Just load up your account at 7-Eleven,
Robinson’s Department Stores, or SM Business Centers, and you’re all set to
crossing off all the Batman and Superman must-haves on this list! So choose
now, because it’s going to be an incredible battle. Batman vs Superman. Black
vs Blue. God vs Man. Day vs Night.
