Who Is Batman? The Mythology of the Dark Knight

In this article we are going to discuss a superhero that is known as batman. Batman is a fictional comic book superhero created by Bob Kane and Bill finger. Batman was first introduced to the world in 1939. Batman has several nicknames including the batman, the caped crusader, the world's best detective and The Dark Knight.

The origin story of the dark knight is that young Bruce Wayne's parents get murdered and he then seeks revenge on the criminal underworld. Bruce Wayne is the alter ego of the bat-man and has to live the life of a billionaire playboy at day and caped crusader at night.

Bruce Wayne has to first train himself physically and mentally before he becomes a superhero and although it's not known how long he trains for many people believe it to be around 15 years. In this time Bruce trains in multiple martial art disciplines.

When Bruce returns to Gotham city he sees that it's in ruins and decides to dress up as a bat to instill fear on those who prey on the fearful.

What makes batman so well liked in popular culture is that he is relate-able. Even though his parents were killed and he's a billionaire he still struggles with every day issues like you or I. Batman also has an impressive list of villains which include:

The Ridler
The Joker
Catwoman
Penguin
Two Face

Batman has many other super villains however in my opinion the ones listed above are the favourite among fans.

The caped crusader has had many outings on the big screen and has had many big Hollywood actors portraying him; actors such as Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton, George Clooney and more recently Christian Bale have all donned the suit to play the dark knight.

Who Is Superman? The Mythology of Kal-El

Superman is a fictional comic book superhero created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1932.  The pair later sold Superman to detective comics in 1938, which are now known as DC comics.  Superman first caught the public's imagination when he was released to the world in the action comic's issue 1.

Superman was the first of his kind, without him there may have never been a superhero genre.  Superman was born on the planet Krypton under the name of Kal-El.  Kal-El was a little child no more than a few weeks old when his planet was headed for destruction, knowing this his father the brilliant scientist of Krypton named Jor-El built a rocket ship that would eventually save his sons life and send him to our planet, planet earth.

Earth was the new home of baby Kal-El where he was found and raised as a normal human on a Kansas farm in a small town called Smallville.  Kal-El was raised by a humble and caring family known as the Kent's, where they would rename baby Kal-El to Clark Kent. 

Clark Kent started to show super human abilities even from a small age, and not known to him then he would eventually use these powers to benefit mankind.

With age Clark soon left Smallville and headed off to the big bustling City of Metropolis where he became the star reporter alongside the arrogant Lois Lane, later the both fell madly in love and in the most recent movie outing of superman the two had a little child named Jason.

Overall superman is my favourite superhero simply because he always does the right thing even if that means he has to sacrifice himself.
