In this assignment my goals is to compare and contrast two images that represent popular American icons a unique way. The two images that were gathered to compare and contrast are of Superman and Batman. Throughout my analysis we can determine that the Superman and Batman characters, have three major features that are as follows; posture, costumes and the background of the photos. Superman’s posture has a very slim fit body frame; however, he lacks in any muscular stature, making it reflect on
Even though this may be true, the individual in his or her lifetime may not find out what makes his or her life so special, or meaningful. When comparing a meaning of life text (“The Death of Ivan Ilych”) to examples of popular culture (Batman Begins and Batman Beyond), it can be determined that when one finds meaning in life, it is the climax of that individual’s life. Also, everyone finds his or her purpose in life at different times, or not at all. More importantly, there is a strive to find
The best part of Batman Begins was its ending... and I'm not being sarcastic. As I was watching the last scene of the movie, I wanted to jump out of my seat and cheer when Jim Gordon handed Batman the Joker playing card. It's been a while since I reacted with such glee at the promise of a sequel (usually it's more of, "hay nako, may part two pa yan!"). Yes, the movie was that good. Without question this is the best Batman movie ever made. Finally we have a film adaptation that shows the essence
and peace wherever they may go. Yet, despite this pure similarity of moral values and self-righteousness, not a single superhero is exactly the same as another. Batman and Superman are two of the greatest superheroes in comic book history, are both quite distinctive from one another, and at times can be considered as complete opposites. Batman and Superman both have their own unique origins, style of approaches, and their own set of strengths & weaknesses. Clark Kent, aka Superman was not born on earth;
Batman is an American fictional superhero in comic books published by DC Comics. It was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Batman's first comic was the lead story in 1939's Detective Comics #27. Accordingly Batman is known as Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne choose the name batman because when he was young bats would swarm him and he was terrified. To overcome that fear he named himself Batman. He was inspired to become batman when he was working one day and a bat flew into a window. Bruce became Batman
Batman, a centralized role model towards many fans in the U.S and around the world has an origin that no comic can surpass. As a boy, he witnessed the gruesome murder of parents outside an opera house. The murder of his parents gave him the optimism to wreak vengeance on ones who broke the law; hence the fact that he resolved to never kill anyone, but rely on his physical capabilities to bring all the criminals of gotham city to justice. Batman’s portrayal in media has become an astounding topic
Batman: Through the Years The Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne, these are all aliases for an enigmatic character in popular culture most commonly known as Batman. While having his humble origins in the pulp magazines of the late 1930’s, over the span of his existence, he has expanded into a full-blown franchise. There have been 3 TV shows on him, 4 movies (1 more still in the making), various videogames, and over 20 comic book series that currently feature his name. Even after
In fact, Batman, a story about Bruce Wayne trying to conquer all criminals in Gotham, can be seen as modern epic. An epic must have a vast setting, start “in medias res” and consist epithets. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, he travels to an island that no human has ever been before and farther into the unknown world similar to how Bruce Wayne is released from prison in the beginning of his journey and travels to unknown high peaks in the snowy mountains where he is to be trained to become Batman. Epithets
his father, but he describes him in the past tense. The same goes for Batman, which can be found in the book, Batman The War years 1939-1945. From N0. 33 of the Detective Comics. The young character, Bruce Wayne, who later becomes Batman shouts with a voice full of despair, “Father...Mother!...Dead! They’re D...Dead” (Thomas 20); after his parents were just murdered in cold blood in the alley. The parents of Beowulf and Batman were stolen from them at a young age, a similarity that cannot be ignored
Smoke billows out from a Manhattan skyscraper, damaged by a fiery explosion. This could easily be a scene from 9/11, however we see Batman looking grimly on as a poster advertises the film will be released soon. Clearly this film plays on the fears of terrorism. As depicted in The Dark Knight, the Joker plays the terrorist, while Gotham’s leadership struggles to contain him. The film departs from the superhero ideals of pure good versus pure evil, showing a murky world where moral decisions have
Evaluation: The Batman Series Superheroes movies are no longer something new and strange with everyone. From classic superheroes like Superman, Batman, Spiderman to new ones like Black Panther, and Antman, all have had a chance to have their own solo movie. All superheroes fight bad guys; however, they also have a single nemesis that they always have a hard time defeating. For Batman, it is the Joker, an archenemy that he could never defeat, who is always going to be present. If there is Batman, then there
Superman vs Batman Look up in the sky. It’s a bird. No, it’s a plane. No, it’s Superman. No. Wait. Maybe it’s the Bat signal. Metropolis and Gotham city each have their own unique super heroes that save them daily from evil villains trying to take over the world. Both superheroes have been quite successful over the years in doing so. Batman and Superman. Two household names that strike fear into any evil doers heart, if they even have one. Batman and Superman are both wonderful superheroes
It has been eight years since Batman and Commissioner Gordon disappeared. Batman takes the blame for the death of Harvey Dent, he sacrifices his all for the world’s benefit. A cat burglar and a terrorist, named Bane, foil Batman’s plans, and force Batman out of exile and into a battle. Gotham is Batman’s hometown and an incredibly corrupt place. It is well known for its corrupt police department, which turns a blind eye to Batman’s questionable actions, since they are for the sake of the city. The
expectations. Whether a composition is praised or criticized, the greatest wish for a film that carries such immense weight with its audience is for it to succeed. One adaptation that has successfully captured viewers is Batman Begins, a superhero film based on the fictional DC Comics character Batman. Cowritten and directed by Christopher Nolan, the film reboots the series with an origin story laced with action and dark realism. The film premiered
Batman the Inferior 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: Batman is an inadequate, hardly super “hero.” Batman has all sorts of fancy trinkets and tricks, but he lacks one crucial thing. According to Encyclopedia
The Lego Batman Movie V.S. Elf The Lego Batman Movie came out early 2017 and was marketed as an action animation film directed by Chris Mckay, while Elf was released late 2003 marketed as a Christmas comedy and directed by Jon Favreau.The Lego Batman Movie is funnier than The Elf movie because it uses pathos, empathy, and dramatic irony; more effectively to make the movie more comedic. The Lego Batman Movie is a more comedic way to tell the Batman story using lego animation instead of live action

From the hero with a sidekick, to the hero all for himself, will show the true characteristics of the heroes and the world of trouble they go through to protect the city, and themselves. The American comic book writer Bob Kane, created a fictional superhero named Batman, along with the enemies the Joker and the Penguin. The Joker is known
all I wanted to watch was princesses. So until this class I haven’t had much knowledge of Batman, besides the previews I saw on TV or heard when my parents watched the movies. I always thought all super heroes were good and they were helping keep the citizens safe. After learning more about Batman and hearing he is actually a vigilante I was very shocked. All I knew before taking this class was that Batman was a superhero that wore a black costume with batwings and he protected Gotham city. Also
My father and Batman are both seen as heroes to me because they both share similar qualities such as bravery, perseverance, and understanding. For example, there was a time where my family went to the community park and we witness a brush fire started near the tennis courts. A lot of people were scared and didn’t know what to do but my father started getting jugs of water and started to try and put out the fire. My father was one of the only people who tried to put out the fire. Even though he knew
Batman is one of the most complex and interesting characters in fiction created in the last 100 years.
