Daily Lobo Spotlight

Daily Lobo: Sorry to have bothered you. What were you listening to?
Aeris Flemming: I was listening to Oasis.
DL: What album?
AF: Definitely Maybe. One of their best.
DL: Are you working on homework?
AF: I’m just editing it — not last minute — but, you know, changing the headers, making sure everything’s in the
right format.
DL: It’s a paper? What about?
AF: It’s actually about the Joker and the difference in the Joker between “The Batman-Superman Movie” and in “The Dark Knight.” It’s for my honors class, which is kind of about the legacy of villains and kind of how he evolves and how he compares then and now. It’s very interesting.
DL: So what were the main differences?
AF: Probably just in the audience. “The Batman-Superman Movie” was a kids’ movie. It was more geared towards kids, and the Joker was kind of sanitized. He was more of a goofy bad guy. In “The Dark Knight,” which was geared more for adults, he was just completely frightening and basically had no sense of humanity. That’s really the main difference is just they had to change it for audiences.
DL: What does your tattoo mean?
AF: “Spiritual strength.” And this one’s “intellectual power.”
DL: Why do you have those tattoos?
AF: It’s the two things that I really value about myself. It’s the things that keep me strong and keep me going when school gets rough or life gets rough.
