655 Words3 Pages

If you asked an young boy about his future job he would probably answer "superhero". On the other hand just a few girls would give you the same answer. Even though we know mostly male superheroes there are also some women who are ready to save or, in this case, destroy the world. To compare male and female superheroes we can take Catwoman and Batman as an example. Batman and Catwoman are exactly alike and total opposites at the same time. There is a simple explanation behind this tricky sentence... In this essay I am going to uncover their secret and similarities they both share and then compare them and find some differences. At first sight it might seem that the only thing they have in common is that they both share an animal in their …show more content…

Even thought it is quite incomprehensible Catwoman does not represent a good character. Maybe it is really true that good boys like bad girls or that opposites do attract. The next important difference is that Catwoman has no special superpowers. On one hand Batman has reached the pinnacle of human conditioning, his intellect is brilliant, he has special batsuit and he possesses the ability to instill fear into others. On the other hand Catwoman uses her intellect, tactics and natural instict. She is a natural gymnast and exper of Martial artist. Her strong point is seduction. Even though they are superheroes and they should be perfect they also have some weaknesses. Cat woman is very vulnerable to disclose her secret identity what may be always very dangerous. For a comparison Batman never does it and the only person he has disclose his identity was Catwoman. Batman has not got many weaknesses maybe just misfortune. His allies often turns against him. That is why he is so thankful for Catwoman and she is the person he relies on the most. However Catwoman still misses some stability and she loves to rely on herself. Maybe she still need some time to understand what does true love mean. In the conclusion we can see that Catwoman and Batman have many things in common and are so different at the same time. The thing which connects them the most is the beautiful love between them. There is also the fact that they are from the same comics and so they were made by the same creators. On the other hand they are completely different personalities. While Batman is a superhero Catwoman is a supervillain. Even this fact doesn 't interfere with their

    In the movie, The Dark Knight Girard’s theory of scapegoating was demonstrated. Girard’s theory of scapegoating is that “if the members of a society can single out a victim, they can channel their violent emotions toward that victim and do away with him. This cathartic release of pent up violence serves to give the society a new sense of unanimity and purpose. Instead of hating each other, people can agree to hate a particular victim or perhaps a minority group or class within society.” Because the scapegoat exist, people won’t go against each other, they have specific people they go against, to prevent themselves from being involved or being part of the chaos.

According to Lavin, “the uneasy contradiction between strength and dependence (and in extreme cases, between strength and subservience) has characterized much of the history of female comic characters” (Lavin 94). When women were first introduced and included in the superhero teams, the heroin has softer powers in contract to the superhero who has stronger powers.

    In Batman Begins, Rachel constitutes the archetypical character of the innocent woman as Wayne’s central love interest. Before Rachel is forced to kill somebody in order to protect herself during the showdown, Batman rescues her, thus preserving her innocence. Furthermore, Rachel appears passive in her portrayal in Batman Begins and becomes the damsel in distress archetype when being captured by the Scarecrow. Despite the fact that Rachel is played by Maggie Gyllenhaal instead of Katie Holmes in The Dark Knight and although she is portrayed as a more capable woman, Rachel frequently ends up as the damsel in distress in the second Nolan movie as well. The regressive portrayal of women, however, is not confined to the female protagonists of the trilogy.
