BANG! The whole universe destroyed. DC Comics Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) is the wielder of the universe's most powerful weapon. The catch is–the one who wields the ring must have conquered his fears, and Hal fears most everything.

One of my favorite superheroes is Wonder Woman (also known as Diana Prince). Not only is she a modern day feminist, but she also continues to be the most well developed DC comic book character (in my biased opinion) to date. Wonder Woman’s origin story is extremely unique because it’s always changing. She’s seen as an amazon, a demigod, a princess, and a lump of clay in various adaptations. In the 1941 comic, Wonder Woman's birth takes us back to the classic origin stories from both Hellenic mythology

As a child It was always a mystery to me how Superheroes had their supernatural powers. Many superheroes differ from one another. Like many fictional characters invented by DC Comics, Superman and Batman both have many different and similar characteristics. They both have distinctive abilities who make them who they are. Although they are both fictional characters and many people choose Batman over Superman, Superman has always been my favorite. First off Superman has many different names Kal-El

“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise, you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” — C.S. Lewis. A popular debate that has been raging since the first comic was published is, are superheroes good role models? Superheroes are good role models for many reasons. They teach kids to be selfless, have the courage to do what’s right, to be dedicated and hardworking, and to be accepting of others

Superman and Wonder Woman On the day I turned 8 months old in December, my father was involved in a traffic accident that claimed his life. My mother was 2 months pregnant with my younger brother and my happy family of four quickly became a family of three. It was a tragic roller coaster for my family, but since I can’t remember, all I’ve known is who my dad was and how my mom has upheld the family. Even though I do not remember my father, he is Superman and my mom is like Wonder Woman. Therefore

“God versus man! Day versus night! Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham!” These are some quotes from Lex Luthor in the hit indie film Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which highlight the numerous differences between Batman and Superman. While at first glance these two members of the DC Comics Trinity seem to be complete opposites, there actually are many similarities between them. For instance, some of these similarities are the fact their mothers share the same name, both have prominent symbols

Stereotypes: A big problem in Superheroes “Not even girls want to be girls so long our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace loving as good women are (Chuck Tate, 148).” Why are stereotypes used? why not go around with labels and stick them on the person we think it goes with. Negative effects of stereotypes from superheroes include body image, diversity, and unacceptable behaviors. In fact unrealistic body image

I choose the theme “ Knowledge is my Superpower” because I believe the strongest superpower any person can have is their mind. I based my theme from comic book heroes and what they stand for. I believe that if everyone can have the mindset to be a superhero then the world would be a better place and where’s the best place to begin that? Well the classroom of course! Superheroes appeal to almost every age group there is, and the lessons they teach can impact the life of just about anyone. As a teacher

Though the film is supposed to be taking place in the present-day, the screenwriter, John Logan, decided to use the original text of Shakespeare minimal changes like cutting short most of the scenes and altering the order of the character’s lines and entire scenes. This techniques work for most part of the film but in the first scene, for example the speech of Menenius to the angry people is reduced to merely two lines and through a TV broadcast so the audience cannot realize how gifted he is using

4.3 Feminist Heroine or Sexualized “Hussy”?: Criticism on Marston’s Wonder Woman While Wonder Woman is one of the most revolutionary character, there is also a lot of criticism regarding her appearance, different motifs in the comics and the message the character might send.

Someone once said “All the violence in the movies and literature, you cannot tell me that it would not disturb a normal person.” In our days graphic novels became so violent that they cannot be demonstrated to the kids. The comic book “Legends of the Dark Knight” that written by the author named Chuck Dixon shows the great examples why the comic books should not be presented to the children. In this book author tells us how Batman violently defeats the irresistible beast. Batman kills the beast

Breaking Bad and Arrow are two shows that entertain me with all their twists and turns. Both shows revolve around two main characters, Walter White and Oliver Queen, respectively. Walter starts out as a chemistry teacher in high school, and eventually turns into a crystal meth cook trying to save money for his struggling family. Oliver is a millionaire in his 20’s that returns to his hometown as a vigilante after being thought as dead for 5 years. These two shows draw the viewer in with their interesting
