Batman Vs Superman

Good versus evil is one of the oldest morality plays in human history, a glorious battle between the forces that would protect life and those who would destroy it. But who do you cheer when you are faced with the impossible decision of choosing a side in a contest between evil versus evil, between dumb vs. dumber, between Godzilla and Mothra?

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

Heroes. From the timeless tale of Beowulf to the well-known chronicles of Superman, cultures all throughout the world have taken it upon themselves to weave a fabrication of a fantastic being, said being a hero of a sorts, that always makes it to defeat the bad guy and save the day. Even whence we as human beings always tend to have our political, social, economic and religious differences, at the end of the day we all have one thing in common that fills our dreams with hopes of the future, of safety, of a peaceful life; heroes. Helping to define who we are and what we want to be, giving us hope and inspire us to head in the right direction, showing us that good will always triumph over evil and that anything is possible if you set your

Superman vs. The Elite is a comic that was morphed into an animation shortly after the events of 9/11. In the comic, Menagerie (or ‘Pam’ as The Elite names her), hosts a body full of tiny alien creatures and wears a full body suit. However, within the animation, her clothing is changed into a more revealing outfit that shows more cleavage and skin. The reason why the animation team may have changed this was to make Menagerie seem like a womanizing villain, and not a strong, silent-type like she was in the comic. The Superman vs. Elite comic depicts an alien-infested woman named Menagerie as a hero that rarely spoke, however, within the animation, she is wrongfully transformed into a promiscuous woman whose sole purpose is to seduce men.

One may wonder, what indeed makes one successful and what has an effect on our psychological traits? Duckworth in her non-fiction book Grit, attempts to answer this question by making the claim that “grit, talent, and all other psychological traits relevant to success in life are influenced by genes and also by experience.(82)” Duckworth supports her claim through the use of anecdotal stories and referencing studies conducted by researchers. One example Duckworth uses includes the “Flynn Effect,”(83) attributed to Jim Flynn. He analyzed IQ scores and its rapid growth through the decades to explain how it is socially multiplied.

I am a nerd. I always have been and always will be. I love playing video games where a little Italian plumber becomes a knight in shining armor as he has to save his sweet princess. I love sitting on the edge of my seat as I watch adventures take place in a galaxy far far away. I don’t party, play sports, or find enjoyment in gambling my money away with fantasy football; it just isn’t my thing. I much rather spend Sundays watching a young queen take back her kingdom alongside her three dragons. I rather go on long banters for hours at a time with my friends as we talk about why Batman can hands down beat superman in a fight or what Star Wars movies were better, the prequels or the originals and sometimes things can get heated but it’s because

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.

Instead of aggressive humor at other’s expense, men are more drawn to affiliative humor that brings people together through funny & awkward situations.

An outsider is a person not belonging to a particular group, or a person unacquainted with the matter. This was such a prevalent and impactful theme throughout the semester. It is a feeling every one of us has encountered at one point or another, so reading the character’s experience with being an outsider deeply resonated with me. However, it did make me beg the question, if everyone feels like an outsider, is being an “outsider” a thing at all? Our first step into the water of feeling like an outsider is with James Joyce’s “Araby”.

Krypton also displayed architecture in the citadel called the Fortress of Solitude -(Morrison, Grant). It was built by Kal-El himself in order to help Superman in any option and collect all artifacts that he got during his adventure. The Fortress of Solitude also work as his second home, his personal zoo and apartment for his allies.

I am aware of this problem within the Justice League and I am here to propose a solution to this problem. When picking a leader I believe that strategic planning and intelligence is the greatest ability to have. Therefore I believe that Batman should be the leader of the Justice League. Batman may not have all the superpowers the other characters have but, Batman’s intelligence makes up for it. Batman is the most strategic character out of every character in the Justice League therefore leading a team would be his forte.

Created in 1941 by Dr. William Moulton Marston who was hired as a consultant to Maxwell Charles Gains of DC Comics. Since DC Comics had decided to stamp comic books with “Superman and Batman” logo which as quoted “Their worst offense was their blood curdling masculinity” According to Marston “The best way to fend off critics would be to create a female superhero.” Marston once stated, “Frankly Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who, I believe should rule the world.” Wonder Woman then goes through a series of changes clear up to 2017 when Director Patty Jenkins proposed to take the new version and alter it to be a successor to Superman One 1978. This was however not the first

An event that inspired me to write my journal was the mass murder act James Holmes committed on July 20th, 2012. The tragic event took place in a theater located in Aurora, Colorado where individuals watched the movie Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (Cabrera et al. 1). Before the film ended, Holmes changed into his Joker costume and quickly returned to fulfill his role: killing innocent people. In order to do this, he threw smoke explosives in between numerous aisles to prevent individuals from leaving. As the confused and scared individuals tried to escape or hide, Holmes fired over 240 rounds of ammunition only stopping once to reload the gun (Cabrera et al. 2). He killed 12 individuals and injured more than 70 before the police arrived and

On July 20, 2012 a few citizens of Aurora, Colorado were enjoying the midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” when eighteen minutes into the movie, twenty-four-year-old James Holmes came into the theater and started shooting people. He killed twelve people and wounded seventy. When the police arrived seven minutes later they arrested James, in the parking lot, who was heavily armed with guns, ammunition, and protective equipment. Police later went to James’s house and discovered his house was rigged with bombs. When James was brought to court he was charged with 24 counts of first degree murder, one hundred and forty counts of attempted first degree murder,

The concept of superheroes has taken our nation. In movies, we believe that heroes have the highest standards of morality and virtues, and that nothing they do is malicious. In Batman vs Superman, Superman was given a choice to either kill Batman and save his mom, or leave Batman alone and let his mom die.The question he has to decide is then who to save. Some might say because Batman is also a hero in his own ways, it is important to save him. However, I am arguing that Superman’s action to save his mother was the virtuous choice because he made his decision based on how virtue ethics deals with relationships.
