The best thing about Dark Knight Returns
The best part about The Dark Knight Returns so far is that it constantly addresses the issue of 'is Batman a vigilante or a hero?' and the morality of what he's doing. There are entire pages dedicated to newscasters and correspondents discussing the morality of what Batman is doing. Honestly I'm surprised more superhero cannon doesn't do this. Sure cops chase after Spiderman and he's huge in the press but they don't go that far in depth. Metropilous just gracefully accepts a dude flying around trying to save the earth. But that's because his girlfriend is a reporter. Then again so is Batman's, and the ninja turtles. Princesses and reporters can never stay out of trouble that's why I'm pro news-less democracy. For the safety of the people. But anyway what looked like it should have been a problem for the Batman universe was manipulated by the writers into interesting subject matter.

In spiderman though wasnt it also a big problem? I mean ive seen the movues and they made it seem like a big deal whether he was good or bad.
ReplyDeleteNot really. Its discussed in the news place Parker was working for and cops chase him but its not as discussed as in depth as it is in Batman
ReplyDeleteI'm also reading a book where media plays a huge part in the story.
