Superman Apa Citation

Improved Essays
Superman isn’t sunshine. He isn’t all smiles. I was worried that in Rebirth they would leave out some of his tragedy. I appreciate his pain. This is why I loved Snyder’s interpretation. It’s real. Superman is the strongest because he suffers, and he is the more human than many, he’s had his terror. I love how they’re delving into mental health with this issue.
Reading this issue of Trinity, was reminded of Wonder Woman v2 #175, 2001, he wasn’t able to save his city. Clark fell into depression, and needed to see a psychologist for not being able to help everyone.
His mental state is taking a hit, and Diana and Bruce and left to watch him battle his own demons. The aftermath of multiple Supermen existing on one plane, must be a mind-screw for the poor guy. The Trinity is a family, at least they’re trying to be. Batman and Wonder

I find his work different than other DC writers. Empathy is needed for this issue.
As for art, the Trinity shines their aesthetic appeal. The penciling and inking in particular, is noteworthy. The muscle definitions, and motion in McCarthy’s work are lovely. In addition to Lupacchino’s ability to create their facial features are moving.
The colours are pretty simplistic, and I suppose this makes it hard to fall into the issue. However, Hi-Fi does a nice job with giving the effect of light, such as in Wonder Woman’s lasso and the background explosions. My main critic of the colours are that there is no theme to express the impact of what emotions are going on. DC’s colourists often complement the feelings of characters narratives through colour (e.i. blue for sadness, yellow for fear). This was missing and it didn’t match Cullen’s colloquial relatable language.
I have hopes this will improve.

    I especially like the dark background with minute light. This draws most of your attention to the light shading of the face and neck. The detailed lines of the dress and the shoulders of the dress are remarkable. Also there is immense use of texture and pattern for the dress.…

    I think were too many things happening in this so that in the end it wasn’t exciting. There wasn’t any build up when they revealed the mystery. The author went into too much detail about things that really didn’t matter in the long run. I think the detail was good it gave me some good imagery.…

    I liked how the author described what was happening and what everything looked like, like when Barry was about to jump in the water to save Cruz and the author described what the water looked like and what was in the water . I also liked how the author made the cover of the book realistic because it shows the water and what a hurricane might have looked like. I think the author should have done better with one part about the picture on the cover though, in the book it said Barry didn't have any shoes on while he was trying to survive the hurricane but on the book cover it shows him with shoes on. I didn't like how it talked about Berry falling in the water and then it didn't say anything else about his family and what happened to them while all this was happening to Barry. I also didn't like how the book said that Barry saw a poisonous snakes in the water while he was trying to find food but then after that it didn't mention anything else about him watching out for…

    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…

    Dead Again uses different lighting techniques to create dramatic contrast and a sense of mood in each scene. This is highlighted through the film noir scenes when dramatic high contrast was achieved by using two extremes of lighting, a lack of light and a heavy amount of light. This was especially shown in the opening interrogation scene. During the scene the light in the room was the only light source present and everything else was in complete darkness. In the scene the contrast was so strong that in order to be visible the actor playing Roman Strauss had to lean forward into the light source.…

    Missing You, Metropolis

    Gary Jackson's collection of poems entitled Missing You, Metropolis illustrates different events that take place in Jackson's life by integrating allusions to comic book storylines and characters. The stories told in the comic books are what we, the readers, regard as fantasy or make believe. However, Jackson contrasts this by including poems that reflect real life situations and emotions which are not usually present in the lives of superheroes. This contrast between real life and the perfectness of the comic book world is a prevalent theme throughout the book, especially when looking at the two poems "The Secret Art of Reading a Comic Book" and "When Loving a Man Becomes Too Hard." In reading these poems alongside one another, we are introduced to two different ways of seeing the real, human sadness that is secretly part of the comic book world.…

    Women had started fighting for gender equalities way before the term “feminism” was listed in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1852. They spoke up and proved their abilities to the world by marching and rebelling. The first-wave of feminism started from the 18th century, and it was mainly focused on the voting and property rights for females. The Second-Wave feminism began in the 1960s, and the focus shifted from suffrage to issues such as workplace, reproductive rights, and domestic violence.…

    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.…
