On the other hand, Batman was born to very wealthy parents in the fictional city called Gotham. After witnessing the death of his parents by a criminal, he swore to get revenge by taking down all other criminals in Gotham City. From a young age, these two were setup to somehow seek revenge for their parents’ death through their alter egos as superheroes. Another similarity is the fact that they have alter egos to appear as normal, everyday citizens. Superman is also known as a daily reporter for the Daily Planet under the alias Clark Kent.
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.
The audience goes eerily quiet, waiting to see who will be the victor. In this epic battle, Iron Man’s metal suit gives him a clear advantage against Batman’s rubber and Kevlar ensemble. Batman’s suit is no match against the blunt force trauma that Iron Man would be able to deliver with the added strength his suit provides. The suits help protect both adversaries against blades, bullets, and the occasional explosion. Iron Man also has the distinct advantage of a super computer in his suit that helps calculate the best areas of attack and his opponent’s weaknesses.
I didn’t think that if Batman killed the Joker he would be wrong to and if would basically be the same as vigilantes, taking the law into their own hands. I liked how the authors compared terrorism to this situation, it would not be fair if we tortured terrorist to tell us information. America is looked at as a superpower and a place where everyone comes for freedom, I feel if we start using water torture and other means to get information out of our enemies we would become just as bad as they are. I feel like the answer to both of these situations is no. Batman should not kill the Joker and we should not be torturing our enemies to get information out of them.
And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.” Here the Joker is expressing his feelings towards batman and he says that he does not want to kill batman because he’s having too much fun, meaning that he wishes to continue creating chaos in order Batman can be there to stop him or interrupt him. This shows that the Joker only seeks chaos and destruction and represents darkness in “Batman the dark knight” such as the witches also represent darkness and chaos in “Macbeth”. Another
In conclusion Odysseus and Batman are both epic heroes. They have their similarities and differences but all in all I believe they are both just as strong. Even thought Batman might have an advantage since he was born in more modern days and has advanced technology such as gadgets, cars, helicopters and etc. But being that Odysseus was born way before Batman I think they’re just as
His name is also the source of the term "superhero". DC Comics, which published under the names National and All-American at the time, received an overwhelming response to Superman and, in the years that followed, introduced Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkman,Aquaman and Green Arrow. Although at the time DC dominated the market, The Human Torch and Sub-Mariner from Marvel Comics were also hits. During World War II, superheroes grew in popularity, surviving paper rationing and the loss of many writers and illustrators to service in the armed forces. The need for simple tales of good triumphing
We learn what makes him tick, aspects which have been glaringly absent in previous films. Although the film is approved for all ages, there are many fight and action scenes. Wide angle shots, aerial views, flashbacks, are all used but not too many extreme close-ups, because most of the movie is fast-paced. Since bats are nocturnal, the movie has a film noir quality giving it a distinctly gloomy feel, because it travels to the depths of the Batman legend. Of course, until the very end of the film, when things pick up again for the city called Gotham.
