Set The Mood: Injustice Edition

INJUSTICEstm

Insurgency vs. The Regime. Batman vs. Superman. Good vs. … well, I guess that part’s up to you.

This week we’re taking a look at INJUSTICE, the hard-hitting series that explores a reality wherein sudden tragedy brings out the worst in a man sworn to protect.

In this story, we see a side of Superman born from the pain of a personal loss – and it’s not one that can be so easily rationalized. The duty of restoring order falls on the shoulders of Batman and the Justice League, who must all determine if their interpersonal relationships outvalue the good of mankind … and whether or not certain people can really be saved.


My moodboards this week both focus on a few elements that I personally associate with pain and conflict – reflected in Superman’s conflict from loss, Batman’s personal struggle to save an old friend, and the many lives sacrificed on either side to make things “right”.


QUICK Q&A:

Hold up, Static. What the heck is a moodboard?
Putting it simply, moodboards are a series of graphics that are used as a way of capturing the atmosphere surrounding a particular subject to briefly immerse the viewer into the “mood” of said subject. Kind of like collages! Which is why there’s no right or wrong way to make one. You could make one entirely out of relevant quotes, or organize one by a certain color palette, or just fill it up with pics of things that represent the subject point-blank. It’s your board!

How do I make a moodboard? How do I post it here?
Personally, I find the easiest way to make moodboards is through Pinterest. For those who aren’t familiar with the site, it’s a hub for images/videos that can be added to “boards” you create based on personal interests or whatever you’re particularly searching for. Many people use it for the sole purpose of creating moodboards, so there’s plenty of stuff to work with there if you’re not inclined to create one from scratch.

That said, you’re also free to make one through any editing program if you don’t wanna go about making a whole Pinterest account! Just paste the graphic(s) here as you would any other image. If you’re doing a Pinterest board, feel free to drop the link to it, or provide a preview screenshot!

And finally, for those who don’t wanna do either of those things but still want to participate, you’re more than welcome to create a moodboard of your own here by posting any pictures you may find relevant and just sort of talking about your thought process on them. (Ex. post a photo of masks and talk about how that may relate to “Crazy” Jane.) Otherwise, feel free to just openly discuss your thoughts on the topic at hand.
