Books, movies, and TV shows tell the story of heros that have gone through adventure, aid, trials, and defeat; they are the key to writing an epic Epic. But from looking at a glance, how could a Greek poem from thousands of years ago be relevant to a 2005 film about a billionaire's rise to fight crime and justice? Surprisingly, there are many connections between these two works of film and literature. What both two of these works have in common is that they use the Hero’s Journey plot circle.
The problem with sit-down activism In this time and age, when there is a social problem most of us take to social media to vent out. While this outlet does get the word out to the general public, nothing usually gets done. It usually becomes known as a “minute headline” meaning that people are riled up about that one particular thing for a moment or two before the next “outrageous” thing comes along and distracts us.
He decided to take the blame for Den, became a scapegoat. People expressed their dissatisfaction and madness towards him rather than having people causing self-destruction, hate on the police, hate towards Den Harvey, and chaos. Batman believed that the city needs to be non-violent and white light. Based on these information I believed that the movie demonstrated Girard’s theory of
Batman, although he may seem childish, is a great example of grit. His parents were shot and killed in an alleyway one night while they were walking home leaving him all alone. The only other person he had in the world to care for him was his caring butler Alfred. RIght then he could have just given up and hid away in his enormous mansion never doing anything again. But he didn’t he got angry because at that point he realized that his city was being taken over by criminals and he wanted to start stopping them.
This paper describes three particular scenes throughout The Dark Knight and elaborates on those scenes in terms of three specific psychological principles. The psychological principles discussed in this paper is Kohlberg 's theory of postconventional morality, the social trap theory, and antisocial personality disorder. One scene that illustrates Kohlberg 's postconventional morality is Batman 's rather rough interrogation of the Joker. In this scene, Batman is interrogating the Joker in order to receive directions regarding where Harvey Dent and Rachel were (they were strapped up to chairs surrounded by bombs in different locations).
However, the most intriguing topic concerning Batman’s mental stability was the evaluation of Batman’s love life. Batman has fallen in love but he lives a life of mystery and interacts with a false identity. To keep Gotham citizens unaware that Batman is Bruce Wayne, Bruce wears a bat-suit which is a dark outfit that includes a night bat-like mask while fighting crime. To further conceal his identity from the world, Bruce gave his real name an alter-ego that has the personality of a wealthy playboy while he acts out his true identity as Batman. Thus, Batman is unable to maintain a romantic relationship with anyone due to intimacy and his alter-ego, regardless if Batman wants a love life or not.
Superman; the all-American hero who has lasted for over three quarters of a century (Impact of Superman). It’s nearly impossible for a comic book character to exist that long and not change, and Superman is no exception. In fact, from sporting a mullet to fighting Nazis, he changes a lot. These changes may seem random at times, but they make sense when put under this lens; Superman is just mirroring America. Superman comics have changed to reflect society most notably during Great Depression, WWII, and The Vietnam War.
Batman vs Superman For my compare and contrast paragraph I chose Batman vs Superman. Batman and Superman are alike in a lot of ways but there some differences. There are both alike because they are both super heroes, both from DC, and both are good at what they do. Batman in different from Superman is that Batman can’t fly and Superman can fly because his powers. Another thing is that Batman fights in Gotham the most crime ridden city.
Batman’s assumption of his duty to his community represents the American mindset of it duties to its own communities. This idea of putting community before anything is a worrying thought. Why does Batman do it? He does it to make sure order, justice, and understanding are number one in his community. Batman brings awareness to “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s , “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” American spirit of having a duty to communities.
Comics: Slide 1 Good morning Mrs O and class, the evolution of the tragic representation of batman. Slide 2 Batman was born in 1939 on the pages of dective comics #27 as a a steren devilish looking character. Then in the 1940 batman looks like he got a brighter outlook on life. The dective comics were renamed to Batman and the typical all grey bat suit accented with a yellow belt, blue underpants, socks and gloves was formed. Slide 3 1950s- Batman’s body became slightly block shaped (excuse the pun) and he became more science fiction orientated as he fought aliens from outer space.
Life is sacred to him, he goes out to save people in Gotham from danger. So using a gun(lethal) or killing people will violate the sacred and be a profane. You don 't see Batman using his gun to cause lethal wounds (which the comic 's versions do it a lot) and kill people, not even the criminal or Bane. It also have a totem which ties in well with sociologist Geertz. The symbol of Bat has been used in the movie for many purposes, to frighten the criminals, to restore hopes in the citizen, and to give him his identity.
Batman is a fictional character and comic-book hero from the DC comic universe. In the past ten years, live action movies based on the comics went viral all around the world such as, The Avengers, Superman, Spider-Man,

But there are still other characters figure that is not less important as the two main characters in the movie hero Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. One thing that also anticipated the fans in the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the appearance of the characters DC Comic others appear in it. In addition to the fight between the two major superhero Batman (Ben Affleck) against Superman (Henry Cavill). There are five more characters that have important and complementary roles in the film's story.
Trung Lu Professor Sturtevant, Professor Bingham Writing About Film and Media September 7, 2016 Pan Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a movie about two superheroes in an “epic” fight that could have ended in a three minutes’ conversation. Instead of wrapping up the Batman trilogy, Warner Bros. Pictures and Zack Snyder brought back Transformer -- and no, that is not a jab at Transformers because it’s at least humorous -- Batman. Also if you’re wondering, yes, it’s supposed to be a Superman movie even though it doesn’t feel like it. If you saw Man of Steel and the trailer to this movie, and expect more, then you’re probably going to be disappointed.
“As a man, I 'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol ... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting” (Batman Begins). Batman is one of the most popular superheroes of all time.

In his secret identity he puts on the mask of Bruce Wayne, billionaire, playboy. In Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, Batman combats crime and faces several villains and their plots to wreak havoc and cause chaos.
