Batman and Superman are both great heroes, but they differ quite a bit in how they act and how
they operate. Batman is dark and gritty. Superman is hopeful and inspirational. Yet, they both
respect each other’s methods.
Batman is a non superpowered vigilante. He watched his parents be gunned down in front of
him, which has been his drive to protect his city. He had to go out and train and train his body
and learn skills that he would need to be able to help people since he has no powers. He dresses
as a bat to strike fear into criminals so they will think twice about committing crimes in his city.
He has had a lot of tragedy happen to him since he became Batman. The tragedy that was the
worst to happen was his enemy Joker
Batman is a depiction of hope. Batman was the answer to a lot of people’s problems in a place where nobody felt safe like they should in their home. He was like the rain after a long, dry spell for
Although Superman is unable to be controlled or contained, Batman is much to unpredictable and goes well outside of the law to get what he needs. Superheros are the fictional embodiment of all of our greatest aspirations, they are also a symbol of hope and give families a lightness in times of hardship or struggle. Sometimes people need something to take their attention off of everyday things.From the day we are able to walk, people want to run, but what happens after we run?

The iconic hero of The Dark Knight (2008), Bruce Wayne, otherwise known as the “Bat Man”, steps up to protect and save the people of Gotham City. The two of these protagonists are very different- but the similarities they share are key when asking the question: “Are they ‘Epic Heroes’?” Beowulf is emphasized as being a loyal, honest, and strong leader.
While the heroes themselves were crafted in time periods far apart, the foundation for Batman’s character can be traced back to Beowulf. This ‘character’ of The Hero is considered to be the ever-evolving foundation for many of the super-heroic characters prevalent in modern media. Batman and Beowulf in particular; as heroes they are strong, swift. As men they are sought after and considered the would be pinnacle of ‘attractive’ for their times.

In the world of superheroes, there are numerous that believe they are heroes, while in actuality, they are merely vigilantes. This is demonstrated throughout the world of superheroes, but it is not as prominently demonstrated as in Batman. Batman presents himself as a hero, while he is only an over imaginative vigilante. He is more a vigilante than a hero since he has the ability to stop crime, but doesn’t, he only does deeds for his own benefit, and he helps the law but isn’t part of it. These are only a few ways Batman is a vigilante, rather than a hero. These are mainly based upon the idea of him trying to right his own past.

If he gets shot by a gun, he’s dead and if he gets stabbed by a knife in a vital area, he’s dead. Batman is too easy to kill and he is a very emotionally unstable guy, which causes him to think very deeply and ponder if he’s a good or bad person.
Batman is one of the many fictional superheroes which appears in the “American comic books” that is published by the DC comics. The character is a secret identity for Bruce Wayne, the only heir to Wayne Enterprises. Bruce Wayne swore an oath of vengeance when he witnessed the death of his parents;Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne (Diamond, 2015). Bat man combats criminals in Gotham: a fictional city, with assistance from various characters, for example, his butler Alfred and Gordon; Gotham city police commissioner.
