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.
The X-Men is the most popular team of superheroes in comic books in the 1990s. Featuring an often changing lineup of young mutant superheroes and unusually complex story lines, the X-Men have found a consistently large and loyal audience of comic-book readers. Since 1980 only Spider-Man and Batman have rivaled them in popularity and sales. The X-Men's market clout has helped publisher Marvel Comics remain the undisputed industry leader, and the series' formula has been widely imitated throughout the superhero genre. Few other comic-book series of recent decades have been as influential.
An outlaw hero is the opposite, they know right from wrong, but don’t follow the law. Another opposition is that an outlaw hero has distrust within civilization. I want to analyze Spiderman and show examples of how he represents an outlaw hero. Spiderman is the epitome of every kid’s dream come true. He goes from being an average, everyday nerd, to a superhero who always saves the day.
After reading various texts, I have become deliberate with different heroes that share similar characteristics which made them well-known. In the period that Homer was well-known for his work, heroes were known to be Homeric Heroes; for example, Odysseus from The Odyssey is an epic hero from the Homeric Period. The heroes known to today’s children are known as modern day heroes; for example, Spiderman is a favorite modern epic hero. Although the stories told, are completely different, these two male heroic models share a few of the same traits, which is known as a distinguishing feature in each character (dictionary.com), that helped them receive their heroic stand such as strength, sharp intellect, and confidence. With the similarities, however, do come the differences; two traits they do not both resemble is thirst for glory and nobility.
Batman as a Cultural Icon The superhero has permeated American culture for more than a century. Graphic novels depicting heroes like Superman, Green Lantern, and The Flash grab the imagination, tapping into both the reader’s deep seated longing for the ideal and his fantasies of titanic power. The exception to the god-in-tights trope that otherwise defines the genre is The Batman. Unlike his iconic foil, Superman, Batman fights to the best of his ability without powers. Ironically, it’s this that makes him more powerful as a character.
Siegel and Shuster, the creators of Superman, were each making $800 a week. The upside of making a successful comic hero was very apparent. This is not a knock against Kane and his creative genius, just a portrayal of facts from the time. The motivation for Batman was based on a common American concept of greed. Kane and writer Bill
No wonder why daddy is so hairy,” Timmy exclaimed as he jumped all over the living room pretending to be a monkey. Oh dear! He’s learning evolution, Timmy’s mother thought in her head. The evolution of human beings from apes may seem ludicrous but when you mention the term evolution, many people would actually say that it’s the belief that humans evolved from apes. This misunderstanding of evolution can cause people to dismiss the whole theory and believe in creationism or intelligent design.
According to Mc Cloud, “This 182 plate sequence of collages is widely considered as masterpiece of 20th century art, but no art history teacher would ever dream of calling it “Comics” (364)! Mc Cloud means Max Ernest’s collage novel “A week of kindness,” is much educated to ever be described as a Comic for an art teacher’s students to learn. For example, Ernest’s plates shows. First, a big surreal image of a man with animalistic wings on his back, while he kisses a woman. Both are not standing on a floor instead on a flood of water.
Maria Clesi ED 170 TV Paper The three shows that I watched were Sid the Science Kid: The Big Sneeze for my educational show, The Magic School Bus: Gets Ready, Set, Dough for my cartoon, and I watched Tinker Bell for my G rated movie. All of these shows I found on Netflix, which made everything a little easier. Sid the Science Kid is a very educational show to begin with. I chose the episode ‘The Big Sneeze’ because it’s the time of year that children are starting to get sick and this is an excellent lesson on why we should wash our hands. The show opens with Sid and his friends singing the theme song, then cuts to Sid in his bedroom introducing himself.
Using my imagination with Barbie and her friends helped me to create many different scenarios for Barbie. I had each house set up differently, even each car set up differently. When you’re young I think that you use your imagination more than any other time in your life. Growing up my parents allowed me to watch TV and do other activities, but I had rather play with my Barbies instead. Or I would sit in front of the television and play with my Barbies.
