Batman Vs. Superman Compare

The second reason why Batman and Superman as role models and cultural icons do more harm than good is because they solve the majority of their problems through violence. Dr. Sharon Lamb states, "Today's superhero is too much like an action hero who participates in non-stop violence...rarely speaks to the virtue of doing good for humanity," (Chivers). She is 100% correct in this. In the 2013 movie, Man of Steel, our “hero” flies about destroying the city he swore to protect. Buildings fall, lives are taken, and superman brings up no mention of any virtue by the end of the film. He uses violence. This continues on in basically every show that includes him. Bad guy shows up, does a bad thing, and Superman flies over, beats up the villain and wins the day. Now we examine Batman. He does the exact same thing, gliding around his city beating up crime and

Any fan of Batman knows that “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” are two of the best Batman films made in the seventy-eight years that Batman has been around. Moreover, the plots force the audience to study the human nature, while also showing the true and real personalities of the characters from the Batman world. Each movie shows the evolution of Batman and shows only a few of the countless extraordinary and intense adventures of this enigmatic hero. Moreover, these two movies are the first two in the dark knight trilogy, created by the illustrious Christopher Nolan. The two movies are extremely well known for their astounding realism to the real world, and their pros and cons. However, they were also extremely liked for their plausibility for these circumstances to happen in the real world due to the relatable technology. Nevertheless, they have certain differences that allow them to be quite distinctive from one another. This is an in-depth comparison and contrast essay to furthermore comprehend why these two movies are so enjoyable and therefore learn which one of these great movies have apprehended the favor of the wide audience of Batman fans. While Batman Begins may have a classic, nostalgic feel to it that older Batman fans will enjoy, conversely The Dark Knight brings interesting characters and an in-depth plot that creates massive excitement and suspense.

Gary Engle describes Superman as the ultimate American, “Superman is the greatest American hero” (Engle, 677). After reading three comic books I notice an occurring theme of wanting to protect what is good, even though the comic books chosen span over eleven years. Several distinct things to Superman’s personality are his cape, the respect he has for others, the respect others have for him, his intelligence, his protection of all life and what is right, his origin, and the sacrifices he makes. Superman is considered to be the greatest American hero of all time.

To people that have comic book illiteracy, Batman and Superman would seem like they would be pretty similar to each other, which is true but only to a degree. They have similar names, outfits, and both live two different lives, etc. On the other hand, when it comes down to what makes these two men special, they are polar opposites. They have differences in backgrounds, powers, motivations, and in what makes them popular among fans. Despite their similarities in outward appearances, Batman and Superman are exceedingly distinct from one another.

n the climactic second half of the upcoming Robot Chicken DC Special 3: Magical Friendship, an argument between Batman and Superman leads to a “Crisis On A Couple Of Earths” – where Flash’s Cosmic Treadmill is used to tap into other dimensions and populate the world with heroes and villains from pretty much every existing strand of DC Comics continuity. It’s a great bit, with plenty of comedy gold milked out of having multiple iterations of different characters running around, but it’s also a great way to introduce audiences to a complex and fascinating theoretical concept that could ultimately have a huge effect on the superhero genre in both film and television: the multiverse.

In videogame adaptation, Superman has involved in several video games. However, the most popular shows the texture of Krypton-type architecture is Injustice Gods Among us in 2013. The story take place in an alternate universe. Superman loses his morals because of the Joker’s actions. As a result Batman needs to beg the Justice League from prime earth in order to defeat sinister Superman. In

Both of them fight crime routinely in their own individual city. Batman fights crime in Gotham City and Superman fights crime in Metropolis. Their fighting abilities are out of this world, and they are both ridiculously strong. Batman works hard for his strength, but superman has always been super strong. They both have their own form of an arch enemy and a special suit that they wear when they fight crime. Batman has an insane clown as an archenemy, but superman has a thing as his archenemy. Superman’s archenemy is kryptonite. Most suits feature a tie and a coat, but batman and superman’s suits feature their underwear on the outside of the suit. These two heroes have coinciding things about their work

Granted he does save multiple lives in the film and does anything in his power to save Earth. However, that is not the focus rather I am focusing upon the combat scenes, and particularly the final fight scene between Superman and General Zod. Together they ravished nearly all of the buildings and streets confined within Metropolis. This is opposing the original comics, in which Superman used every ounce of his powers to locate the battle within an area where the least amount of innocent people would be injured. Opposed to that in Man of Steel Superman fights wherever the battle starts. He seems to have no remorse for the citizens in Man of Steel unlike in the original comics where the safety of the citizens of planet Earth is his top priority.

Comics, (specifically superhero comics,) have been a pop culture icon for over 50 years. Though there are comics from all over the place, the main two companies that are most well known are Marvel comics and DC comics. Of these two companies, two of the most well known superheroes are Batman, of DC, and Iron Man, of Marvel. Though they have much in common, they have many differences that need to be discussed, because people are constantly trying to argue whether or not one hero is better than the other. Batman and Iron Man are two of these said heroes.

Last but not least, even though Superman and Batman are completely different when it comes to heroes, they both share some similarities. For example, Superman and Batman both hide their supernatural identity to live through a normal life. They are also both crime fighters that stops crime from happening or crime from getting away. Raised to live a normal life but they struggle to let go of what happened during their tragic past, this made them grew up to become great

Viewers are also reminded that Bruce Wayne was in Metropolis during the climatic fight in the latest film, which he uses as fuel to throw Batman into the fight to take Superman down. Plus, Batman is also motivated to battle Superman because of the destruction of Wayne Tower.

Superman skills came naturally. He can carry heavy things. He has superfast speed, bulletproof body, supersonic hearing, laser and x-ray vision and cannot be bruised easily. The only thing that can kill Superman is kryptonite. For Superman to do good and save humans is a calling. He fights to serve the world and to protect his city, Metropolis. Superman is a character of light as the colors on his costume are light colors, red and blue. He fights his crimes in daytime and that makes him visible most of the time. Gary Engle describes Superman as the ultimate American, “Superman is the greatest American hero” (Engle, 1).

Superman was born on the planet Krypton when he was just a baby he was sent to Earth in a space pod. Baby Kal-El, Superman's name that was given to him at birth, was sent to Earth because of the instability of his home planet. Shortly after his space pod left Krypton blew up. Once Kal-El arrived on Earth, a couple who lived on a farm in Smallville, Kansas adopted Kal-El and renamed him, Clark Kent. Clark continued to grow up on the family farm and go to school. Clark attended the University of Metropolis

In each of the films, High Noon and Superman, the portrayal of the story is different in comparison between the two movies. Each scene in each film is interprets a different tone as well as a different feeling toward the audience. Along those lines, the music, sounds effects, and visual aspects also play a role within these scenes. Besides that, both High Noon and Superman were both made during the time where movies were still somewhat new and during the time of production, there wasn’t a lot of technology. Because of these contributing factors, both films give off a different feeling when the audience watches both films. Movie production today is more advanced than it was before, and has affected the way the audience will understand the story of each movie through technological advancements.

Both Superman and Batman started on a similar path, both raised by adoptive parents and wanted to pursue a sense of justice. Losing a parent is never easy, especially when you lose both of them at the same time. In one scene in the film, Batman, also known as Bruce, has just left an opera scene because it triggered a sense of fear. When the family walked through the back alley on their way home, they were mugged by a stranger at gunpoint. The stranger wanted Bruce’s father’s money and his mother’s pearl necklace. The stranger pulled the gun on Bruce’s mother but his father jumped in front of her instead, which resulted in getting them both killed. Bruce now has just lost both of his parents at the same time and
