Superhero Movie

April 2016 Both the film Star Wars: A New Hope Directed by George Lucas and comic, The Watchmen by Alan Moore had one thing in common. In the comic novel and film, the “superhero" protagonists are white heterosexual men. Neither Princess Leia nor Laurie Juspeczyk have plot lines of their own instead they revolve around men. In The Watchmen and Star Wars: A New Hope both author and director are male and give their characters a male protagonist role. In The Watchmen, Alan Moore introduces his…

best we could. They were great shows for children my age. They had bright colors and interesting sound effects that really kept our attention. The VHS’s were my dad’s copies, so it’s interesting to see how children and adults could enjoy these epic superhero stories. Superheroes are an interesting concept that has given children and adults alike an amazing sense of wonder and amusement ever since…

In 2018 the director Ryan Coogler created the astonishing movie “Black Panther”. Black Panther barely feels like a Marvel film, or even a hero film. As this film offers a bold, fresh take on the superhero origin story. Chadwick Boseman plays King T'Challa, of Wakanda, the fictional African country housing mystery science fiction innovation, who must advance up and grasp the profound obligation of his inheritance after the death of his dad. Rather than building another, super-suited personality…

DC and Marvel are the biggest names in the comic industry. With multiple comic lines and universes and an abundance of characters. The comics are limitless, however the movie universe is a different story. Whether you are an avid comic reader or not, and with numorous movies under each comic giant, you may have seen at least one or even multiple movies. Like with great empires, one clearly triumphs over the other. With that in mind, this so called 'war ' between the great powers in the comic…

Steve Rogers, or Captain America, is a superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He got his powers from a super soldier serum administered to him by Dr. Abraham Erskine in the 1940’s. The serum gave him super strength and other enhanced abilities allowing him to become the optimal soldier during World War II. Steve Rogers is like an epic hero in many ways. He has superhuman abilities, he is on a quest, and he is a strong and responsible leader. The first way Captain Rogers is like an epic…

Superman doesn’t seem to faze director Zack Snyder, who is already interested in working on Man of Steel 2! Snyder recently spoke to IGN, where he confirmed that he would want to do another film about the DC superhero. “I think if we could get a good script, it'd be great to have a standalone Superman movie,” Snyder stated, adding that it seems like a good idea. “I think that would be fun to do.” Cavill agrees with the director but added that it would be possible if Dawn of Justice…

It is not often that I find myself cheering for the liars and thieves of the world in the same way that I would a superhero. Nevertheless, director Steven Soderbergh’s hit film, “Ocean’s Eleven” accomplishes this feat in a 2001 remake of the original 1960's film which starred Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. The modern take stays true to suave Hollywood glamour in using today’s brightest stars; a list that includes George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts in the leading roles. The…

Superhero films create a world of fantasy in which “good” guys always stop the “evil” guys from hurting innocent victims. Undoubtedly, Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, has been portrayed as a superhero throughout The Avengers, Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 movies. Tony Stark is one of the all time most popular and loved fictional characters in the superhero world. However, superheroes do not always possess good quality traits and are flawed just like Tony Stark. Stark was born into a…

because it perfectly sums up the argument DiPaolo has made in a way that makes his point more known to the reader. Though the author is seemingly against Batman when it comes to his personality and his mindless actions, he does boost Batman up to be a superhero who, through adversity, made a name for himself and is successful at his world-saving endeavors, which DiPaolo seems to respect about him. I agree with DiPaolo’s quote, because it reveals Batman to be more than he seems on the surface,…
