Batman is a human being who was trained to fight. He is a master of martial arts. On the other hand, Superman is an extraterrestrial who came from Krypton a planet far away from earth; he has super powers, but martial arts are not his strong suit. Batman uses different types of gadgets and technology to fight crime. One of his gadgets and the favorite of all is the grappling gun, which allows him to repel down buildings with a greatest and ease or skyrocket himself to the top. Another one that is simple but extremely effective is a batarag which he uses by throwing it like a ninja star aiming at the enemy’s hand to disarm them. Finally, the tumbler which is his transportation, apart from being his ride is a tank and allows him to escape from anywhere or anyone on top of this if it destroys the remains become a motorcycle.

For example, if a bus full of people by accident breaks out of the bridge into the river Superman can pull the bus out of the water with no problem.

    In 1775, our country went into a war against the British. Our main goal was to aspire freedom and have our own rights as citizens. After eight years of fighting in this war, our country won. The United States of America was born and our first goal was to find what type of government is best suited for the people.

    Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns questions what is right and what is wrong. It makes you wonder if the government is the bad guy, or if it is the criminals, or maybe even Batman himself. Miller uses duality and creates closure to show that there is always another side of the coin and all you have to do is flip it to see it. He also uses art to build context and tension by starting with art that is abstract. The art slowly changes to brighter colors and less abstract art as the tension of the plot builds. With the use of an iconic archetypal vigilante seeking justice, Miller also emphasizes the ever-present question of morality.…

    The quintessential hero of the feature is not without self-conflict. Batman, under the alias Bruce Wayne, struggles under the city’s pressure to protect — and most of all, sacrifice — at all costs. Gotham often calls to him to their aid, but he has his own way of responding which is not always pleasing to city officials. Additionally, because of Batman’s esoteric, defiant nature, some are often wary of his credibility. This, in a way, makes the title character the ‘rebel’ hero.…

It's especially tempting to do so in the case of Batman, a conflicted superhero who is really an ordinary human with no real superpowers except dedicated co-workers and scientists, an ability to slip into a figure-clenching leather suit and the fearlessness to look staring down at Gotham city perched dangerously on the tallest tower available. In Nolan's hands, he has also developed self-seriousness and doubt, adding a welcome layer to the comic-book enterprise.…
