Many times in modern day society has Beowulf, one of the oldest legends in history, been compared to super heroes. After reading Beowulf, and looking at dozens of online “discussions” (more so arguments), one will find that Beowulf is almost the exact same as Batman. Both Beowulf and Batman have an unearthly amount of strength, both use tools to their advantage when they need to, and both are called upon to deal with problems that others are either to weak or too cowardly to deal with themselves.
Harvey Dent, white knight, saviour and “hero” of the infamous Gotham. Batman on the other hand, is the Dark Knight and the troubled hero who chose his identity over the people. Many believe that the movie the Dark Knight, communicates to viewers the superficial perspective of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey. However, Batman transcends that perspective of true heroism and what it means to be a hero. The underlying message in which the movie argues is that the whole concept of heroism is simply a myth created in Hollywood.
For my compare and contrast paragraph I chose Batman vs Superman. Batman and Superman are alike in a lot of ways but there some differences. There are both alike because they are both super heroes, both from DC, and both are good at what they do. Batman in different from Superman is that Batman can’t fly and Superman can fly because his powers. Another thing is that Batman fights in Gotham the most crime ridden city. Batman also wears black because so no can see him plus he wants to dress like bat. Superman different from Batman because Superman can shoot lasers from his eyes and breaths out ice. Superman also wears blue and red and fights in Metropolis city.
The Keanu Reeves conspiracy to some is considered a pretty silly conspiracy, but others actually believe that it is true. Keanu Reeves is a Canadian Actor that is considered to be one of the most mature and wise actors of all time. He played in a lot of movies all from action to romance to drama. A lot of people believe that he has not changed in any of his movies. They believe that all his picture from the start of his career till now look the same. This conspiracy is that Keanu Reeves is immortal and is backed up by mainly three reasons. The three reasons many people believe why he is immortal is because he never ages, because he looks exactly like a lot of people before his time, and because he is considered extremely wise. Although there
Alfred warning Wayne to maintain his father’s reputation and Rachel stating that Wayne’s father would have been very proud are only two examples of an abundance of utterances in which the movie emphasizes Wayne’s patrilineal descent. Furthermore, the treatment of the naked male body further underpins the investment of the trilogy in the patriarchy. In accordance with Laura Mulvey’s of the male gaze, Wayne/ Batman is the active male protagonist throughout the Dark Knight franchise. One can argue that there are instances in Batman Begins where the means of cinematography highlight Wayne’s body in an objectified manner. However, emphasis on the male body is only given in scenes which highlight the body in (violent) action. Shots of Wayne’s body in the trilogy and Bane’s body in The Dark Knight Rises always highlight scars and bruises as proof of the active role of men in patriarchal ideology. Moreover, The Dark Knight Rises provides an example of gender as “a performance with clearly punitive consequences” (Butler 522). In the cinematic world of Nolan’s Batman, soon-to-be Commissioner Foley tries to avoid fighting to stop anarchy in Gotham after Bane has declared martial law. When he finally joins the re-established police forces, his character gets killed by the anarchist
To help Batman therapist would bond with Bruce Wayne on the grounds that that is Batman's essential personality. Besides, therapist would offer Bruce some assistance with recovering missing bits of their past. When Bruce reviews the moments of his adolescence that lead him to wind up Batman; the therapist would at last offer him some assistance with merging the distinctive sub-identities into a solitary, coordinated identity or a combination. At the point when the two identities blends together, advance therapy is expected to keep up the complete personality and to show social and coping skills that may counteract later separations. In the wake of watching Batman conduct in the movie, we can find that Batman have posttraumatic stress disorder and dissociative identity disorder. He was determined to have posttraumatic stress disorder in light of the fact that he showed the accompanying side effects; bad dreams and flashbacks, evasion, diminished responsiveness, and blame from his parents
According to Gould, the 1960s television show Batman was an unexpected cultural revolution because for children watching television in the 60s, the Batman TV series was a joyfully relaxing exercise for them. Also, this became a comedy classic and it was a cultural phenomenon in the 1960s. The Batman TV series was famous because this series has humor and a colorful cast of villains. As well, Batman have some aspect of popular culture, that he represents the reflection of society making him a superhero. In addition, Batman in the society wants to do justice on a bad attitude committed. He saw justice like fight a war on crime, and the goal was that the city does not belong to do criminal things and corruption. In fact, Batman has the ability
Superheroes usually have a bad childhood, where they would persevere through adventures and eventually become stronger to protect the people. We can draw parallels from Greek mythology where we have the story of Perseus. Perseus is a prototypical hero quester of classical literature which we can compare to Superman which is also the prototypical hero quester of the superhero age. Superman and Perseus were both orphaned shortly after birth, where after reaching maturity, both sets out on a journey to find their purpose in adulthood. For Superman, it is how he realises his identity and purpose on Earth before he takes on his mantle on Earth as Superman. Both Superman and Perseus are model heroes, with noble values which are not too complex. Their enemies are always on the side of evil where their actions rendered them inhuman, and the heroes always fought for the side of the good. By comparing both stories, they are similar with identical themes which can make superheroes our modern
In the underworld, life is absolute misery. It is definitely not the ideal place to travel to after death. Luckily, the only people designated to go to the underworld are the ones who truly deserve it. For example, Jeffrey Dahmer and Al Capone would spend all of eternity there, but they would not be placed in the same section of the underworld.
Batman is a superhero because he fights crime and makes the world a better place. As a child, he lost his parents and then grew into the superhero he is today. Even though Batman does not
Attributes of a hero have remained the same over time, which is shown through Greek heroes like Hercules demonstrating the same traits as modern heroes like Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman. One of the traits Hercules and Batman share is their passion for becoming a hero. The audience can see this characteristic during the “I Can Go The Distance” song when Hercules proclaims, “Somehow I'll be strong, I know every mile will be worth my while, I would go most anywhere to find where I belong.” Similarly, the audience can see Batman's passion each time he drops whatever he is doing, changes into his elaborate costume, and risks his life to save the city of Gotham from villains like The Joker and Bane. Another trait that Hercules shares with a

Batman, although he may seem childish, is a great example of grit. His parents were shot and killed in an alleyway one night while they were walking home leaving him all alone. The only other person he had in the world to care for him was his caring butler Alfred. RIght then he could have just given up and hid away in his enormous mansion never doing anything again. But he didn’t he got angry because at that point he realized that his city was being taken over by criminals and he wanted to start stopping them. When he couldn’t think of anything else to do to help his town he decided to start training. Over the next ten years he learned almost every different type of karate he could learn. From Kung Fu to Jiu Jitsu he learned them all. After
“As a man, I 'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol ... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting” (Batman Begins). Batman is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Although he has no superpowers, his willpower and intelligence combined with his physical prowess, and ingenuity make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. In his secret identity he puts on the mask of Bruce Wayne, billionaire, playboy. In Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, Batman combats crime and faces several villains and their plots to wreak havoc and cause chaos. The villains that he faces, eventually come back again trying to cause a great deal of turmoil for Gotham city. Batman’s moral code on not killing is pointless,
Throughout the decades men have dominated the comic-book industry. They played a very important role in perpetuating stereotypes. The male writers, publishers, editors, and creators wrote for the their target audience, which was primarily young boys. The 90s was a period of time where society obsessed over male strength, which in turn led the idea of how fragile a woman is compared to a man. Batman and Batgirl are both human superheroes; they do not have any special healing factor or any other kind of superpowers. All his enemies constantly give Batman brutal beatings, but he always walks away from the fight (see appendix 1). He suffers no long-term effects because men must have strength; suffering is a sign of weakness, and men can never be weak—society demands that. Complementary to this, in Batman: The Killing Joke, Batgirl is shot by the Joker and is paralyzed for life (see appendix 2). The juxtaposition of Batman’s invincibility
