Who Is Batman A Hero
The superhero that I would like to change places with for a day is Batman. We all love to cheer for our heroes but at the same time we're really intrigued by the villains. There's just something about them that captures our interests , even more so then the heroes. Batman has the personality of a villain but the heart of a hero, so he's the best of both worlds. It's a way for us to have a mythic cake but eat I too. That's what makes batman such an interesting character , he looks,walks,talks and acts like a villain but he's the good guy. He's doing it for a good cause, so it's okay for us to enjoy it. Rather than that cookie cutter mold of a hero that super man fits perfectly, batman breaks that mold. He doesn't act the way that a hero typically

    “Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It’s all part of the fairytale.” -Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn. Heroes can be found in normal, everyday people; however, they go unnoticed because they did not have to overcome a great calamity to perform an action. More well known heroes have all overcome the worst of situations imaginable. For example, Ms. Riley from October Sky had fought Hodgkin’s Disease while helping Homer and the Rocket Boys achieve their dream. Rainsford from The Most Dangerous Game fought to the death in a game he did not believe in or wanted to participate in. Josh Sundquist became an award winning author and a Paralympian after defeating cancer and having his leg amputated at age nine. A hero is one who is selfless, overcomes adversity, and inspires others.…

    Joseph Campbell detailed his theory of the monomyth in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The theory of the monomyth or Hero Cycle is that there is a way of telling a story that is hardwired into our brains and that across cultures myths will resemble each other due to this internal plot. The book shows how Humans in general prefer to, and find it hard not to, tell a narrative not as a hero’s journey with an underlying theme. If analyzed most books, TV shows, and movies are played out corresponding to the monomyth. The 2005 release of Batman Begins depicts this through a variety of events and then resolves with the underlying theme of facing your darkest fears.…

    The superhero universe is one that is vast and complex. Although my passion is helping others, if I could switch places with a superhero or villain of my choosing, I wouldn't hesitate to select a villain. More specifically, I would pick Harley Quinn. Although ostensibly, Harley is an obsessed psychopath who goes to great lengths just for her significant other, the Joker, her character goes much deeper. Harley, unlike most superheroes and villains, who are simply concerned with world domination or saving the world as a whole, is aware of social issues that are brought up today. For example, in one episode of the Batman television show, a police asks Harley to read him his rights in a sexual context, and she proceeds to teach him a lesson. Harley…

    Definition of Hero

    People think of the word Hero and they automatically think of “Superman” or any other individual being with superhuman attributes. But the truth is that all these traits a hero has, like bravery, strength, compassion and the ability to know right from wrong, can all be seen in your average everyday citizen. We hold these incredibly high standards of what a hero should be when the actual real heroes are in front of us every day without us even acknowledging them. We shouldn’t take the actual heroes we have come to know for granted because one day when we find ourselves in a time of crisis it won’t be Superman who will come and save us.…

    Hero Definition Essay

    The definition of a hero is a relatively simple one; a hero is someone who positively impacts others through their actions and accomplishments. While we all have different views on who exactly we see as a hero, there are certain individuals, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln, who have undeniably changed the world and fit this definition. I have found that many of the individuals who society, and I personally, view as great heroes, share a certain set of traits that almost definitely had a large part in their accomplishments. This is why I believe that bravery, selflessness, and determination are three vital traits when it comes to defining what it means to be a hero.…

    Everyone has a different definition of a hero. Mine is a person who has impacted my life, or lives in general. They are selfless and genuine people who care about others more than themselves. A hero has no gender, size, or age. Anyone is capable of being a hero, but it’s very rare to find someone who possesses all of the qualities. People like a war veteran, a public figure, or an everyday person are all people who fit my definition of a hero. Irena Sendler, Tyler Joseph, and my mom are prime examples of what I think a hero is and should…
