Who is the better superhero Batman or Spider-Man?
Who are the two superheroes that come to mind when someone asks something about superhero movies or comics? Batman and Spider-Man. Who are the most iconic superheroes? According to Yahoo Finance, which superheroes are in the top 10 most worn costumes for Halloween in 2013? Batman at number 3 and Spider-Man at number 10. Both of these men are the best superheroes in the eyes of many people. They also have a lot in common. They both got their start as comics moved to cartoons and made their way to the big screen. To start, the lives of these men are very similar. Bruce Wayne, more commonly known as Batman, was born into wealth by Thomas and Martha Wayne, but when both parents are murdered right in front off a young Bruce. After being sent to live with his butler Alfred. He knew what he would dedicate his life to and that was fighting crime in the city of Gotham. Even though Batman did not have any superpowers, he prevailed against his enemies by using his intellect, physical attributes, and very crafty weapons to end crime wearing his iconic bat symbol hiding his identity. Now Spider-Man, more commonly known as Peter Pan, was not born into to wealth but to a middle class household by Richard and May Parker, but while Peter was young his parents were killed in a car accident and a young Peter was sent to live with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. After a couple of years, Peter was on a high school field trip to a laboratory and there Peter was bit by a radioactive spider. That was the beginning of the Spider-Man. Soon after discovering his powers, Peter’s Uncle Ben was gunned down. From that moment on Spider-Man’s life goal was to avenge his Uncle’s death and put an end to the crime in N...

...use Batman saves lives without having any powers and that lets people relate to him. It is hard to relate to a superhero that can shoot webs and climb building like a spider when a normal person cannot do that. Batman builds unbelievable gadgets to defeat his nemesis. Batman has a bat mobile, bat tank, bat motorcycle, and a bat helicopter as his vehicles. Batman also has gadgets like sonar, armor that is hard to penetrate, bat ring that works like a boomerang just to name a few of the gadgets he has on his utility belt. Superheroes like Spider-Man that have super powers can rely on their powers while Batman has to rely on his intelligence, strength and gadgets to defeat enemies. Ultimately, both of these men put there lives on the line to help the people of their city. Some may do it better than others and I feel as if Spider-Man is the better superhero of the two.
The only reason i think this is because Spiderman is known as a hero but he is not portrayed as one in this
Batman and Superman are superheroes whose qualities are exaggerated in a way that is reminiscent of the gods and heroes in The Odyssey. In Fact, the superheroes from comic books emerge from the epic tradition. Epics, as you know, celebrate the great deeds of one or more legendary heroes. This epic hero is generally involved with a quest to overcome hardship, and he (and it usually is a "he") succeeds. The hero performs superhuman exploits in battle, often saving or founding a nation or the human race itself. Sound familiar? And even in terms of the superhero's body, with his bulging muscles and larger‐than‐life qualities, such figures evoke the images of Baroque masculinity. What Becomes important in these retellings, then, is how the hero makes the journey, how he faces his obstacles, and what he learns in the process.
Heroes, the unordinary beings with extravagant abilities, from powers and competence to skills and talents. Heroes are people who are idealized by society for their courage and individuality. Iconic and well recognized heroes like Hercules, Superman, Spiderman and Achilles are some of the few heroes known around. All heroes have a similarity to each other, for example Beowulf and Batman. While both can be considered great heroes, they differ significantly, yet are similar in other ways.
Batman’s villains are all gangsters and clinically insane humans who could easily be in the real world. None of his villains have any type of power or special abilities instead they use firearms and henchman to accomplish their goals. Many times it is up to Batman to stop these violent criminals from committing crimes that we see daily such as robberies and murders. A true superhero fights super villains with god like powers. Batman could never stand-alone against a villain such as doomsday or darkseid who both have multiple powers such as super strength and teleportation. He simply isn’t a contender to defend the earth against a god like threat as oppose to a real superhero such as Superman.
If Batman alone was tasked with saving the world, we would all die. If Batman was tasked with saving a cat from a rabid dog, the cat would die. If Batman was tasked with walking an old women across the street, she would trip over his cape and break her hip. Batman is an inferior “superhero” - and that is reality. Here is why:
Not all superheroes wear capes. As an example, in the novel, ‘The Hobbit’, Bilbo Baggins goes from Hobbit to Hero as the book progresses. Throughout the novel, Bilbo fends off a variety of monsters, from goblins to a killer dragon! At first, he wouldn’t even leave his little hobbit hole, but he seeked out a mass murderer’s weak point! That is amazing! How did he manage to do that? Well, he developed the characteristics of a good ol’ hero along the way, those being strong and brave, clever and intelligent, and the ability to be selfless in all of the right situations.
Why is it that in most superhero movies the good guys win? Because good always outshines evil. Characteristics, feelings, and actions which are commonly shared by most people is called human nature. One can easily make a statement about human nature by reading Lord of the Flies by: William Golding and Night by: Elie Wiesel. Lord of the Flies is about a group of well rounded group of British boys who survive a plane crash and find themselves the sole inhabitants of an island. Night is an honest, firsthand account about Elie Wiesel’s life in concentration camps during the Holocaust. Through these books, one can simply say humans are essentially good, even throughout the circumstances they face.

When you think of a superhero one normally thinks of Spiderman, Batman, or Superman, but there were superheroes long before these characters were created. First one must understand that the basis of this name is hero. What is a hero? A hero is a person who does something special or out of the ordinary in order to help others. It could also be someone who is admired for a characteristic about them, be it physical or mental. They are individuals that normal everyday people can look up to. This being the case, a superhero is nothing more then someone who is a hero, but not just that once and for that one person, but someone who helps many people, or leads them. As time went by the number of people who were true heroes diminished and just doing something for someone was no longer big news. There had to be something more to make them stand out. The American culture needed someone or something to admire and that is where our common day superheroes come into play. It gave them a goal which could never be reached in hopes that people would never stop trying.
Among the highest-grossing movies of all time are numerous landmark films, such as Titanic, Avatar, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Taking their place alongside these cultural touchstones are mammoth blockbusters of a new breed: action-packed superhero epics. Each year, the number of superhero movies due for release seems to grow exponentially. One glance at a list of upcoming movies for this year reveals that the box office is absolutely saturated with superhero films. Some highly-anticipated installments feature heroes already well-acquainted with the big screen, such as Captain America and the X-Men, while others are introducing relatively unfamiliar characters to contemporary movie-going audiences, as in the cases of Doctor Strange and
Batman Begins has an incredible amount of struggles that not only Bruce Wayne must face but all of Gotham must face. The first of many of these was Thomas and Martha Wayne's sudden death at the beginning. This left both the people of Gotham and Bruce Wayne to struggle along without them “Their deaths galvanized the city into saving itself and Gotham has limped on ever since.” (Batman Begins, Ras Al Ghul, Scene 31) This also created much anger and rage in Bruce Wayne that he released as Batman. There is also the struggle with the crime rate in Gotham and keeping alive the cities slowly falling government. These things differ from the Dark Knight where the struggles are with mainly the Joker and his actions. Many more unexpected and out of control struggles occur in The Dark Knight. The Joker (mastermind terrorist) creates many series of problems and difficulties for Batman, Gordon, Dent, and all of Gotham in general. Another big problem, quite different from the first one is the capturing of Joker. Unlike the first film, the struggles of The Dark Knight are much more external while the first one was fixing what was on Gotham’s internal problems. An example was after Rachel’s death it changed Harvey into an evil person therefore changing the whole ending of the movie, and a lot of the next one. Another big difference between the two films is The Dark Knight has a lot more violence and explosions,
