While Superman was brought up, cared for and loved by his foster parents the Kent’s who knew of his alien origin from the beginning, Batman’s childhood was more isolated from society. His butler Alfred was his only real friend and confidant. The fact that he inherited a fortune allowed him to live without worrying about getting a job or facilitating his crime-fighting obsession.…

At the most basic level of comparison, both Achilles and Superman are very similar in their near perfect anatomical construction.

Similarly, Superman is more perfect than any human being can be, due to his birth parents being form a different planet. Although he looks human, Superman is actually Kryptonian, allowing him to fly, have laser vision, and be invincible…
While reading “The Psychology Behind Superhero Origin Stories,” I actually agree with both statements on how we love the superhero movies because they are so fast and strong, and how we look up to the heroes. People today love to get away while watching movies. I myself fantasize about the heroes to not think about the stress in my life. I also agree on how this article states that how superhero movies help people manage with the different types of adversity we go through life. At some point of life somebody has lost someone near and dear to them, I would say that is why Batman is everybody favorite superhero. After Bruce Wayne parents was killed in front of him, he used that anger to transform into a crime fighting hero. Batman is the closest…

But that's not to say that they are completely alike. They still have many differences. For example, while lying there dying, Beowulf waxes philosophical about his gold and treasure. He then says "Now I've bartered here for booty of treasure the last of my life, so look ye well to the needs of my land!" He is finally understanding that money is not worth all that much. If Superman were lying there dying, he would be still trying to help others, or at least ask someone to take care of his family. Superman is…
Starting with similarities the thing's that the joker and batman have in common are they both wanna cause anarchy but for completely different reasons, batman wants to do good and have no evil but the joker wants chaos and corruption. Another similaritie is they are both willing to give anything to get what they want, also they do not care about the casualties they cause as long as they get what they want at the end. And the differences between both characters are that joker has no logic like batman, he doesn't think clearly about his decisions and does whatever he feels at the moment. Also the joker doesn't care about Gothem city like batman does he is willing to do anything to protect it while on the other hand joker could care…

I can recall that it as though it were yesterday similar to each Saturday, enabling my robe to give me exceptional powers and change me into a super legend "“DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA Batman…!” My folks' room was adjoining mine this night; I was in my room watching toons sitting on the edge of my bed when abruptly I heard my shouting like she never had. I kept running into their room into the lobby entrance; I saw this frightening scene has been scratched in my brain from that point onward. I cried in light of the fact that both of my folks were contending such that it really furious my sentiments. My Father's hands were put around my Mother's neck, stifling the life out of her. I remained between them powerless… on the grounds that what he was doing to my mother, I knew it wasn't right, in the wake of standing immovably between them, he at…
Belonging and not belonging are an emotional stimulant that Is felt by everyone and in many different ways.

“Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.” (Christopher Nolan) In The Dark Knight, Batman is the hero of Gotham. Batman is Bruce Wayne’s identity as he fights crime to protect Gotham in Nolan’s trilogy. Bruce Wayne was born a hero, he was raised the way a hero is and lived the life of a hero. There is no doubt in my mind my argument will be convincing in this case. When one searches for the definition of “hero” in the dictionary, one finds definitions of the term such as: “a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble…
