He is nearly unstoppable. However, Superman does have one weakness, Kryptonite. When exposed to this radioactive element from his home planet, he becomes weak and helpless. Where…

mainly because it has been said in every known origin story of a superhero I can think of, so I guess it's safe to say it is motivational. Imagine that you could have one super power. What would it be and how would you use it? What would be your kryptonite? In all honesty I can say I have thought about this particular question too much in my 17 years of being alive, but maybe that's just because I am a huge Marvel fan. Being the comic book nerd that I am I can honestly say Stan Lee is a genius…

all , he a very strong man. Batman's utility belt has been a staple of his costume since July 1939. The belt has included tools like lock Batarangs, picks, lasers, a fingerprint analysis kit, grenades and even Kryptonite. That's right — in the comic books, Batman keeps a nugget of Kryptonite in his utility belt just in case Superman ever turns on him.

technology which has revolutionised the iconic fight scenes between villain and superhero. Who doesn’t love to see a group of males with raging testosterone levels fight to the death? Texts influence society and culture clearly shown by the term Kryptonite being seen as one’s Achilles…

Director Zack Snyder’s “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” took its hype train to terminal velocity with a too-big-to-fail marketing approach that eventually crashed into a cinematic cacophony that might just be best to the deaf viewer. Like dropping names of high-brow friends at a posh party, Snyder lobbed out a pitch some years ago to pin the world’s two most revered superheroes against one another in a sort of theatrical cage match that any unsuspecting moviegoer could sink his or her teeth…
