Comic book characters have become increasingly popular in recent years, and its important to look back on their origins to see how that is influencing how we view them today. Batman was highly influential, and I wonder what comics would look like today if he wasn't introduced.

Unlike these characters, who were more or less born with power, Batman's origin comes as a reaction to his vulnerability. I think the resounding success of Batman as both a character and a cultural icon comes from this. While Superman represents the unattainable heroic ideal , Batman with his humble origins (relatively speaking) and his constant struggle to live up to his own ideals, the pursuit of justice with natural and self-imposed limitations which his foes don't have, is more of a represents reality, both of an individual and society.Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900412530539714695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-47905539247592115072016-03-29T20:52:34.074-07:002016-03-29T20:52:34.074-07:00I think that it is interesting that batman helped ...I think that it is interesting that batman helped inspire a trend in a darker sort of super hero. With characters such as superman who seemed relatively lacking in flaws it is interesting that DC may have pioneered such a concept. I also find it interesting that it is through a collaborative effort that they were able to come up with the character of batman rather than the product of one persons imagination. I think that comic books as a whole are interesiting in this way because one person will create a character and over the years other writers for the comic will come up with new ideas for the character extending their stories for more than 70 years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005868436780064585noreply@blogger.com
