batman and superman
ere are so many different superheroes but the most popular are Superman and Batman. These two characters are the best American superheroes of all times. Superman and Batman are both extremely courageous and help the innocent and eliminate crime. Many have wondered who would win in a fight, the man of steel, Superman, or, the caped crusader, Batman. One is from another planet, has super-powers and can do nearly almost anything. While the other doesn’t necessarily have super-power, but has made himself to be near superhuman through his intelligence and wealth. But one of the two super-heroes has something over the other that would win the battle hands down. Coming from a far planet Krypton, Superman also known as, Clark Kent, came to earth in a space capsule. Where he was found by Jonathan and Martha Kent. He moved to the city of Metropolis, where he started to defend the city against different threats, such as, Lex Luther. He has many super-human powers like superhuman strength, speed, freezing breath, super hearing,and vision powers. Superman also has x-ray/heat vision and best of all he can fly at the speed of a bullet. Protecting the streets of Metropolis, he uses his unique powers to save the innocent from danger. Clark Kent keeps a low profile by working as a news reporter for the Daily Planet, and when danger is around he sneaks off to change to, Superman. He is almost unstoppable, since even bullets bounce right off him, but he does have one weakness, Kryptonite. In the presence of his weakness superman is powerless, loses all his super-powers and can even die. Batman is basically a young boy named Bruce Wayne belonging to a rich family whose parents were murdered during a mugging in front of his eyes. The only things Bruce still had left where his enormous inheritance and a loyal and caring butler named Alfred. Throughout the years Bruce Wayne has grown to become one of the most proficient people in just about anything, mastering not only various

    Although both lost their parents at a very young age, Superman’s/Clark Kent’s upbringing was quite different from the one of Batman/Bruce Wayne. While Superman was brought up, cared for and loved by his foster parents the Kent’s who knew of his alien origin from the beginning, Batman’s childhood was more isolated from society. His butler Alfred was his only real friend and confidant. The fact that he inherited a fortune allowed him to live without worrying about getting a job or facilitating his crime-fighting obsession.…

    The novel, Wayne of Gotham by Tracy Hickman explores the ancestry of Bruce Wayne while utilizing his detective skills. I chose this book because Batman is my favorite character and I think that the graphic novels along with books paint a broader picture of the character. Batman is after all, the world’s “best detective” in the DC Comics world. The story starts in the cave with Bruce Wayne’s grandfather teaching his son Thomas Wayne to be a man by shooting the creatures of the night “bats” with a gun (Hickman, 2012, pp. 1-5). The story is definitely for avid fans of Batman, but can be enjoyed by newcomers. Bruce Patrick Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth and Detective James Gordon are players in a story that unravels a dark hidden secret of the Wayne…

    * Batman works in a very different way. The Dark Knight considers his targets to be any form of bad guy. His enemies range from the murderer or serial murderer to a simple robber. Of course as with any hero there are always one or more mortal enemies that keep the story exciting and deadly. In Batman’s case, there is The Joker, his most famous enemy, as well as a large set of other less famous enemies, who have become essential…

    Classical heroes, both in their characteristics and their missions, heavily influence contemporary superheroes. Like most modern works of literature, comics are also influenced by some of the greatest sagas ever told. Many comic authors base their hero’s and villains off of ancient Greek and Roman stories. The stories are very easy to adapt to modern circumstances because they all deal with ageless lessons. Although the ancient authors created their characters hundreds of years ago, they were used to teach the people of ancient Greek and Rome the same lessons that are needed even today, such as humility and duty to the state. One of the most famous Greek mythological characters is Achilles. His character has directly influenced the creation of multiple contemporary characters. However, the most famous hero that he influenced is Superman, the most commonly known comic book hero. They both have many similarities, from the very obvious weaknesses to the minutest details, such as their archrivals. However, the similarities that are deeper than the visual observations are the ones that have made both characters timeless. Through their adventures, both Achilles and Superman are able to demonstrate some of the most sought after characters, which can also be seen in almost every successful human being. Both fictional characters also have a few, but fatal weaknesses, which leads to their constant struggle to stay in power.…

    Batman Year One

    • 1060 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Batman: Year One is about Bruce Wayne’s beginning as becoming Batman. In the beginning of the comic book, Bruce has always known violence all of his life since he was a child. In the very beginning of the comic book, he witnessed a brutal cold violent act, his parents’ death that happened in front of his very eyes (21). That is one of the biggest contributing factors of who he is today as Bruce Wayne/Batman. As stated on pages 18 and 19, we see the first myth of “Crime Does Not Pay” (Carlson, Myths of Violence Discussion). The actions that are played into these pages are part of an injustice that is played upon Gotham City by the villains/antagonist of the book. The protagonist is Bruce Wayne and James Gordon. By the violence in the comic book, Batman takes the action by using violence to fight the villains in the city. He, then, is seen as an antagonist because he fights and tries to save Gotham from falling apart from crime and restore it back to its former glory.…

    “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no its Superman!” For decades comic book characters such as Superman, The Incredible Hulk, Batman, and Wonder Woman have captured the imaginations of American children and adults alike. “Superheroes,” they have been coined. But these figures only exist in our imaginations. Batman is not really there to save us from villains such as the Joker and the Riddler. Because these heroes are fictional, we are left without real life heroes… or are we? The answer is clearly no. Heroes are all around us. They can be courageous, intelligent, strong or daring, but heroes to me are selfless and brave.…
