Essentialism Book Review

What I like about the advice given in Essentialism is that it isn't some trite quick fix. Instead, it seeks to give the reader a foundation for determining what is actually worth devoting time and energy toward. Spoiler- not most things. If you've been into the self-improvement niche for a while, you've probably heard the phrase, "If you don't decide what to do with your life, someone else will" or some variation of this. But how many of us continue to say yes to our boss, our friends, etc when offered yet another project, another "opportunity", another activity?

Batfleck’s Batcave, Article #3- The Armory

As you can tell from the title, this is article #3 in this series about the Batcave, as depicted in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, starring Ben Affleck as an older, more grizzled Batman. Thankfully for us fans, Ben Affleck will reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in the upcoming Flash movie, opening on June 16th, 2023.

I’ve been super busy this week training, taking care of some things around the house, and I’m trying to practice my instruments regularly again, so apologies that this article is coming out a little later than I intended. Without further ado let’s look at where Batman stores those wonderful toys of his.

The Terrific Minimalism of Batman’s Batcave: A Look at Batfleck’s Batcave from BvS (Article Series)

The Most Brutal Batcave Yet

Batman’s Batcave is as necessary to his being as his ferocious workout routine or his vigorous intellect. Over the years, Batman has had numerous iterations, many of them featuring an interpretation of his famous homebase as well. The version of Batman/Bruce Wayne, as portrayed by Ben Affleck in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, gave us an older, more world-weary vigilante than previously seen.

It wasn’t that long ago that this space was merely a pipedream for me. For a long time I had wanted a space for myself, but I had originally envisioned it as a home office.

But, somewhere in the neighborhood of 2013-2015, several of my interests (self-improvement, nerdery, a “man cave”, tech, working out, a need to learn new things) began to coalesce in my mind into something that would be greater than the sum of its parts.
