The cape crusader and the man of steel still remain in the limelight, because they are THE originals. While other heroes were still being dreamed up by some kid’s imagination, Superman and Batman were out kicking butt, and creating emotional attachment to every kid whose imagination ran wild. Those attachment span across generations of kid with dreams of powers beyond that of their very own. Superman and Batman have personality traits, and tools that make it possible to go up against impossible odds and win or at least defeat the threat each time, but this dog eat dog world where there can only be one on top, who is top dog? Clark Kent grew up not knowing who he really was.
Even though they are human they both are very wise in decision making. Both of them are also protectors to their home town and are basically held responsible for things, in my opinion I believe everyone looks up to them in their stories. Their actions aren’t human like, for example Odysseus was the only one who was able to return home safely from his journey. And Batman in the end survived the huge explosion that Bane (the villain) had set up in the city of Gotham. In conclusion Odysseus and Batman are both epic heroes.
With this, he dominates Gotham City and was planning everything he could to do toxic to Gotham City by having hallucinogenic sprayed in the air and also in the city’s water supply as well. This however, did not suit so well with Batman for which he made it his obligation to fight against the evil crime(s) and overall corruption in Gotham City. Ra's al Ghul is part of the master mind in this horrific crime against Gotham City along with Dr. Crane and it is up to Batman to save his people and city. When confronting Ra's al Ghul on the train, Batman jams the controls and escapes leaving Ra's al Ghul to die. This is what makes Batman a hero.

The Hobbit: Moral Valence Throughout J.R.R Tolkien’s, The Hobbit, when Bilbo Baggins uses the ring of power, he becomes invisible to all those around him. Shortly after discovering the mystery behind his newly acquired ring, Bilbo uses it in all situations where simply charging in head first isn’t an option. Much to his own surprise, on numerous occasions, Bilbo escapes with his life and limbs intact.

The character faces a demon that is telling him to take revenge back. By rapping with such passion it is almost as if Kendrick’s feels the same way. He narrates in such a unique way that we become a part of the scene. The lyrics tell us that the brother is also a street rat, but since he the story is a narration of himself, it is almost as if he is thanking kendrick lamar for telling the story, in a different way then he has, through violence. The brother recognizes the fact of the truth that he is in way to deep.
You have heard of many super heroes growing up such as batman, superman, etc. When you look at those types of heroes, you think of males with super powers with the ability to get rid of the bad guys. All of these heroes have different attitudes and different aspects of the real meaning of a hero. Aspects such as selflessness, inspiring, and distinguished. Heroes can be selfless in many ways.
Whereas Superman is just a pea-brained boy-scout with huge muscles, Batman must rely on his brains and athletic skills alone. Unlike other detectives Batman is more hands-on with criminals. Down the road Batman was portrayed more and more as a vigilante which I don’t think does much justice to his character. He is law abiding. He relies on the law to lock away the victims even when his intelligence tells otherwise.
Ironically, it’s this that makes him more powerful as a character. Readers of Batman comics, consciously or not, put themselves in the shoes of Batman. If Batman can do all this, the reader thinks, maybe I can conquer my problems too. Batman has become a potent pop-culture icon of self-actualization and ambition in the face of adversity, and the stories depicting him are a direct parable for the conflict against one’s own inner darkness. Batman’s saga begins with a smoking gun and a promise.
Butler’s notion of gender can complicate this however. Batman and Robin have always been a dynamic duo. Crime by crime and fight by fight they are back-to-back ready to take on whatever comes their way. From the Joker to Mr. Freeze they got it covered.
