Superhero Comics

Super hero movies are a big trend now and there is an obvious reason. Many superhero comics tell excellent stories, most superheros are classic, not only that but they already have the visuals to go by. Which makes superheroes appeal to a wide audience. There was a time when superhero comics featured morally perfect beings who save the day and everyone loves them. However, this is boring. Superman is boring. I don't know that many people who are fans of the Superman comics or movies. More people are a fan of batman. Why? Well I think that since he is flawed batman is relatable and interesting. Being perfect is boring. I think that cat woman would be my favorite super hero/villain of all time. She is a really sexy and fun super person. I couldn't really say that she is good or bad because she really doesn't pick a side. There is even a sexual attraction and an odd relationship between her and batman. She helps out batman sometimes, sometimes she steals jewelry, and sometimes she helps out the bad guy. But i think ultimately she has been casted as a super villain because the only person she is looking out for is herself. Which many people would think that apathy is a bad thing. It might be, butI'm on the fence. It wasn't until after the 50s or 60s i think is when batman starts to merge out of being the goody two shoes kind of hero into a protagonist. Same with cat woman, instead of being evil she is seen as rather independent, and a strong woman. It's funny how it seems that every character in batman is sort of off their rocker. Everyone is sort of lost. The villains being the most insane characters. The only sane people in the comics I think are Alfred and Batman's girlfriends. I always seen Batman as a Bisexual character which would be also seen as a flaw by some people for different reasons. Of course I am talking about his relationship with Robyn. I find it hilarious how they always seem to slip in a homosexual undertone in the comics. Preacher was a cool comic to read. A supernatural being attached to a preacher in Texas. The being named Gensis is pure evil and pure good at the same time. Talk about being flawed. Every action in Preacher is extreme. Which makes him superhuman. A combination even more powerful than God. Because God is pure good, and the Devil is pure Evil. A person or a being both at the same time is just kind of mind blowing to think about. The series is also good because everyone loves exorcisms and find vampires and demons. The series is awesome.  Watchman is a series about superhuman beings that just get fed up with obeying societies rules and become in a sense greek gods. Because they take matters in there own hands and do whatever they think is good and you can't do anything about it. I like when Alan Moore was discussing in class about how he was a magician. Because, the definition of a Magician, in his understanding, is someone who has a skill or craft that influences or manipulates. Which is pretty far out idea, but then again it's not. He goes on to say that people in the entertainment field are all magicians. Some are more powerful than others. I can't help but agree because people like us use our talents to change someone's perception of reality.
