Who Is Superman A Hero

The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan plays around the theme heroism in which the characters take roles of being the hero in their own distinct ways. Some continue to play the hero because of their morals and good character. Others become deemed to evil due to the horrible experiences they face. In the film The Dark Night, Batman takes the primary role of the hero because he continuously strives to achieve the well being of the city, while the joker chooses to cause havoc among the people of Arkham city.

During the course of the battle for Truth and Justice, man and sword came together at last. Holding the sword, Superman found himself expanding, spreading across the winds of the universe. The entire history of creation flooded his mind, and his consciousness expanded as he became and all-seeing and all

Have you heard of Superman and his strange ways well here is a texet and how the

He fears that she would, as Boas states, feel “intense displeasure ” (607) were she to know his true identity. For Clark Kent, truly, “the teachings of earlier childhood remain…the truth which is never doubted (Boas 609). Ultimately, his love for Lois Lane forces Superman/Clark Kent to choose which life to live. Deciding to live life as a mortal with Lois Lane, he must give up his powers. Unknown to the pair, at the same time a trio of evil Kryptonians, all possessing the same powers as Superman, have begun to enslave all of mankind. Upon hearing this, the powerless Clark Kent decides that he must set aside his own feelings, and even the feelings of Lois Lane, in order to act for the benefit of the majority. He acts against the desires of Clark Kent, and therefore the culture of his Earth upbringing, and instead acts according to the responsibilities of a hero, therefore embracing the culture of his Kryptonian parents. Clark Kent undergoes a rebirth as he succeeds in regaining his powers, becoming Superman once again. Empowered with the strength and determination to defeat his opponents, Superman conquers the evil Kryptonians and returns peace to the world

In the essay “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me,” Sherman Alexie credits learning to read a Superman comic book with saving his life. As an Indian boy growing up on a reservation in Spokane, Washington, where being uneducated was not the exception but the rule, Alexie was given few opportunities to succeed. The Superman comic book was the book he taught himself to read with, which in turn saved him from going down a path that lead to a the life of inferiority and failure. Learning to read gave him the confidence to break down a door that had previously prevented Indians from succeeding as well as the driving force that allowed him to persevere against the adversity he faced. The significance of Superman is carried on

Self-Reliance reflects Emerson’s beliefs on Transcendentalism by stating how Emerson believes in inspiration, happiness, and the spiritual measures of inspiration through the depth of the human mind itself. “The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried” (Pg. 774). Emerson in Self-Reliance puts majority of the focus on people trusting themselves, using good judgement, and their own knowledge because a new independent idea makes history not the idea that is copied. “Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that iron string” (Pg. 774). Through this idea that Emerson created, the thought of people trusting themselves, using good judgement, and their own knowledge

But whence digging past the loud colours and the "it's-a-bird-it's-a-plane," generic, one realises the true face of Superman. He isn't super for his inhuman abilities or his capricious appearance, he isn't a true man for his strong build and his appealing features:  Superman is super because he's what everyone should aspire to be, and he is a man because he melds the world in a form of good and good only. For if Superman wanted to, he could rule the world and no one would be able to stop him. Superman is, literally, a god among men.  He has the power to sink entire continents and kill millions of people with ease, but he chooses to protect everyone, good or bad, no matter how insignificant and tiny the life is for nothing in return. Superman is a hero because he's there for everyone, never compromising his ideals and taking the high road to support those in need. This is despite the fact that he could basically be a god lording over others without much trouble, but instead chooses to serve and inspire. That is why he is a hero. Superman is the ultimate hero, and not just because he is the most powerful being on earth but for his integrity which sets him completely apart. One could constantly remark on how Superman looks for the best in everyone, how he is ultimately loyal and selfless, not even considering the fact that he could rule the world but chooses to serve is the greatest compliment you can

The author used symbolism, tone, and revealing actions to show that doomsday is in almost Unstoppable killer with no mind or thoughts and this shows that doomsday is a complete opposite of Superman. Superman is constantly thinking to himself but it also shows that doomsday has no conscience of what he is doing, or at least just doesn’t care at all.

Cruel, how having a long life can affect the life that he intended to live. He wanted to grow old and die, having witnessed his children grow and become the next Superman. Fate has another path in store for him, and he realised many years ago that fate cannot be avoided... only shaped by his own hands.

For several months now, I have been trying to figure out the true meaning of self-reliance. After, researching the different ideas of self-reliance within the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self-Reliance and the testimony of Louis Zamperini throughout Unbroken, I believe that there is never a set definition of self-reliance, as it is different for everybody.

Watching their fellow tossed aside without a second glance, several looks of fear emerged upon the faces of the others that needed to be removed. Amongst all of them, only one truly knew who the person bearing the crest of House El was- Lex Luthor. But at that moment, he couldn't recognise the stony faced hero before. Many years ago, his creation could be easily recognised due to his brash and loud nature, not the deathly silence he is shrouded in now.

In prior Superman movies, it is common knowledge that Superman is a character that resembles Christ. In Man of Steel, this idea is really apparent in the viewers mind. Much like Christ, mankind rejects Clark Kent at an early age. The passage from Isaiah, which also relates a lot to Superman, reads, "He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Superman has to learn to trust humans, as he grown up he gets comfortable with the human race and even though he is not from this planet he wants to save humans all around the world. Kent flees home after the grief of his father's passing, he leaves home looking for work and hopefully to find answers. Wherever he seems to go he always found himself having to move on as he used his powers. Starting at an oil rig that Kent was working at going up in flames, Kent saves all the workers. He then has to move onto another city as he was spotted saving the rig.

When the word "hero" is spoken, everyone has different thoughts. Some will think of super powers like flying and saving people from villains; while others have a certain person they know or have heard of that come to mind who have done something to make a difference in the lives of others but who is a hero to you? To answer this question you must first ask yourself what a hero is; what comes to your mind when someone says the word. When I am confronted with these questions I always have the same thoughts; smart, strong will power, and someone who stands up for what they believe is right.

Whether you call him Kal-El, Clark Joseph Kent or the Man of Steel, fans and non-alike know him the world over as Superman. Recently, this iconoclastic character was reintroduced to a new generation with the film Man of Steel and so began for some a look back to another era where a bold new dawn of superhero action movies was born with Superman The Movie. An inevitable debate ensued about whether a modern, technologically advanced and possibly more faithful adaptation could outshine the original, with all its nostalgia, including an inimitable portrayal of Superman given by the late Christopher Reeve. My aim is to find out whether I still believe a man can truly fly or if he is just simply wearing a costume.
