Hemione Granger and the Complex Feminist Icon They exist in almost every type of storytelling in the last century or so, the crucial three-person groups. Comics has DC’s holy trinity of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; In children cartoons the Ash, Brock, and Misty dynamic was used so well that even though brock and misty haven’t been regular characters in the cartoon for a nearly a decade, they are still iconic; but, over the past 30 years, perhaps no fiction trio is as well-known and…

The Light to Show Them the Way: Superman as the Messiah As a child, I would always watch the old TV show The Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves. Like many children of my time, I would take an old towel and tie it around my neck for it to be my cape so I could ‘fly’ around the house being Superman because of that old TV show. I later became a fan of the comics and read many of his adventures in DC Comics. I loved the action, the powers that Superman had, and wished to be like him in…

In my opinion, Batman is morally justified in his reasoning for not committing murder due to the balance he has between Utilitarianism and Kantianism.

It’s concept and philosophy fixed itself into me and I tried applying those ideas to other articles as we went on. This article addresses one of the big questions of consciousness that tends to float around when discussing philosophy, which is what is it like to be something other than yourself? It isn’t too often that you debate on whether or not something or someone…
