Comparison Between Batman And The Turtles

Decent Essays
My inner 10-year-old (not named Ben by the way, very strange, goes by Hammerhead) just high-fived the universe for this bodacious gift from DC and IDW comics.

The winged guardian of Gotham teams with those saviors from the sewers...Batman and the Turtles in an epic 6 part miniseries from writer James Tynion IV (Constantine, The Eighth Seal) and artist Freddie E. Williams II (The Flash).

Ok, ok, ok...down to business. Is this comic worth it's ink and paper?

Happy to say yes. It's always difficult with these magnets of nostalgia pieces to get lost in the warm fuzzies and overlook tiny elements like story.

The plot lays down like this: Batman is investing a string of thefts of high-tech lab equipment, including an experimental generator

    In order to save the "dying" city of Gotham from the criminal underworld, poverty, and corruption within the police department, Bruce returns to the root of all his misery as a changed man; the identity of Batman was established to prevent anyone else from experiencing the pain and suffering he had endured as a child while the normal Bruce Wayne returns to his "throne" at Wayne Enterprises in order to gain the funding needed for new technology such as the bat-mobile and upgrading the suit as well as using his influence to support individuals such as Harvey Dent who had gained the title of the "White Knight" due to being able to achieve justice during the day without a mask. Despite his vigilantly approach towards establishing law and order, Batman is able to maintain his sanity by acknowledging a specific honor code that prevents him from using deadly force or resorting to killing criminals such as the Joker despite his ruthless and unpredictable nature to harm others for his own enjoyment. What makes Batman an ideal hero is his heart and courage because he refuses to be thanked or acknowledged for his role in justice. As a result, Bruce Wayne actually tries to distant himself from the caped crusader by essentially hiding in pain site and acting like the cocky "Billionaire Playboy" who…

    Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is one of the best iterations of Batman since the concept of Batman was first created in 1939; the film offers easy to digest bites of philosophy and a deeper look into human nature. At the same time, The Dark Knight provides insight into society's views on mental illness, what society believes mental illness looks like, and society's views toward the justice system. The Dark Knight is the highest grossing Batman film since the first Batman movie (ironically named Batman: The Movie) in 1966, and was even awarded "Movie of the Year" by AFI Awards. Despite the film's success and acclaim, what does The Dark Knight say about society's views on mental illness and our justice system?…

    I often find myself prey to emotions and impulses I cannot control. When I feel overwhelmed, I feel like the walls are closing in and I need to claw my way out of my skin. Sometimes I will be sitting with my family and all I can think about is what a disappointment I am. For many years I have thought this meant that I am troubled in a way that one else is, and that is the most daunting experience: believing that you go through your entire life alone and misunderstood.…

    As a kid, I idolized many people that have influenced me and taught me the values of life, but none were the same as my obsession with Superman. To me he was the ultimate figure; he had powers and abilities that made him unique and powerful. Also, he was a hero that saved the innocent and protected the weak; he resembled more than what a man of law can do and did what a perfect firefighter was able to. Even though I figured out that he was a fictional character, that did not stop me from wanting to believe that he was real. I was not the only person to idolize him; many other people looked up to him the same way I did.…

    Okay, in that case, I have nothing to add. Again, the Bruce’s money is well invested. However, the intelligence could be the trickiest part. Although, knowing the fact Batman doesn’t possess true superpowers, his advantages are he’s smart, wise and brave and these virtues generally lead him to victory over his foes. All these advantages are the primary reasons Batman is often a leader of the Justice League and I have no doubts at all then he would be able to outsmart Superman in a variety of ways, who pretty often plays on the card his superpower advantages.…

    When we think of Batman, the words “hope”, “justice”, and “incorruptibility” come to mind. He is The Dark Knight, a bat vigilante who fights to keep the fictional streets of Gotham safe. He is arguably one of the greatest superheroes ever created. He fights crime and faces some of the most insane villains in comic book history. What makes him stand out from the rest is that, as Wikipedia states, “unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers; rather, he relies on his genius intellect, physical prowess, martial arts abilities, detective skills, science and technology, vast wealth, intimidation, and indomitable will.”…
