Why Ironman Is a Better Superhero Than Batman
Ironman > Batman First off, let me start by saying Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor. Throughout his acting career, he has won more than enough awards to last him a lifetime. He has won awards like the “Best Performance by an Actor” at the Golden Globes, to the “Man of the Year” at the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. As for Batman, due to the many interpretations of the story throughout these years, it’s difficult for me to keep up with even what the actors’ name is. Not to mention, whomever the 50 actors were who played Batman probably aren’t even half as good looking as Robert Downey Jr.

Iron Man and Batman are both superheroes with no actual powers. Bruce Wayne, the first, hidden half of Batman, and Tony Stark, the brilliant man behind that Iron suit are both extremely wealthy men. They have chosen to make good use of their wealth and take advantage of all their money to help save the world. In other words, because they weren’t born with superpowers like most comical heroes, they had enough money to literally invent their own powers. However, disregarding their slight similarities, Iron Man is, and foremost, a much greater superhero than Batman.

Let’s start with their laboratories—where all the magic happens. Iron Man has not only an amazing lab, but also his house itself is breathtaking. Who wouldn’t adore a multi-million, if not, multi-billion dollar house overlooking Malibu, literally hanging over a cliff? And, from my understanding, Tony Stark actually built his house himself. Back to the point, his lab is spacious, it’s modern, high in technology—I mean, for crying out loud, he built a computer-based assistant who’s just as smart as he is. Nowadays, technology is such a massive part of everyone’s lives. Today, that is what’s going to get you somewhere in life. Batman, on the other hand, after all these years, is still in a cave. Someone needs to remind Batman that he isn’t actually a bat. He is a billionaire; why not use his billion dollars to

    You might be a fan of Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, or even Ben Affleck, but if you ask anyone, “Who was the original Batman?” they would most likely say, “Adam West.” The classic ABC series, Batman that ran from 1966 to 1968, was the first major exposure that many people had to the pteropine vigilante and his brightly garbed cohort, Robin. It had cheesy dialogue, used the cheapest of special effects, and is extremely dated. However, all of those things are part of what fans love about the show to this day. People still enjoy the 1960’s Batman for its goofy, campy, and “so bad it’s good” qualities. For these reasons, Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment came together to create a new crime-fighting adventure for the Dynamic Duo for the modern age. On October 6, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will premiere at New York Comic Con. The straight-to-video animated feature harkens back to the madcap antics that made the classic show so beloved. Also, the two stars from the original show - Adam West and Burt Ward – lend their voices to their iconic roles as Batman and Robin, respectively,…

    In short, I believe that Indiana Jones is superior to batman because, it doesn't matter if he’s against Nazis, cultists or Mccarthyist thugs he stands up for what he thinks is right. Also, he is a regular person like you and me. Finally, he uses what is around him to find whatever he’s after, which makes him clever. In conclusion, Indiana Jones is a better hero, because he not only takes on whole armies, but he also saves priceless artifacts.…

    I have come to look at all of the actors, and one stood out amongst the rest because of his many achievements throughout his life. The actor I am talking about is Robert Downey Jr. I really got to see the potential of his acting in one of my favorite movies which is Iron Man. He was born April, 4 1965 in New York. He is currently 50 years old, and still has lot of achievements ahead of him. Robert Downey Jr. got his career started at the age of 5, and played roles as Ian in the movie Weird Science during 1985. He is a great actor which shows for how much he is paid in many movie roles. Robert Downey Jr. used to abuse substances which was shocking for me to hear. It did not affect the view I had for him. Robert Downey Jr. is an inspiration to many because of his achievements and the fact that he is an…

    I wish I could meet director Chris Nolan so I could shake his hand for rescuing the Batman franchise from its shlock purgatory that was Schumacher-Land. Hats (and cowls) off to underappreciated actor Christian Bale, who filled in the Batsuit quite nicely (and his gravelly Batman voice was spot on!), but more importantly, he gave both Bruce Wayne and Batman true character. And of course I also applaud the excellent supporting cast of acting greats: Liam Neeson shows that he's not just wise old mentor material (the twist at the end surprised and impressed me-- who would have thunk it? Ra's al Ghul is IRISH!:p), Michael Caine shows why he's the obvious and really only choice to play wry, reliable Alfred, Morgan Freeman shows how an understated, classy performance can be memorable, and Gary Oldman shows an entirely new (at least new to me) facet of his acting prowess by turning in what I think is the real breakthrough performance in the movie. It was kind of freaky seeing someone who usually plays scary, psycho villains transform…

    Super hero movies have always been a hit when it comes to new releases. Of course, director Shane Black can never go wrong in filming another Marvel movie, what’s better than having another prequel film of Iron Man named Iron Man 3. The director did an amazing job at catching the audience’s attention. This Superhero sequel proved to make a success after making the $1 Billion mark less than four weeks after being released, and in my opinion being one of the most entertaining Marvel superhero movies that I’ve seen. I believe this film is breath taking and an eye catching project! This movie is filled with action end exciting scenes that made me jump!
