really a problem most of the time. That\’s why the writers try to up the stakes. They put superman in situations in which he might actually die. And of course, superman still sacrifices himself for others. He doesn\’t die though. They will never let him die because that would end the lucrative superman franchise. This makes his heroism incomplete. Think of the concept of heroism throughout history. The most honored heroes are those who die saving our lives. In any case, the decision to sacrifice him self doesn\’t seem to come hard for old superman. We have come to expect it in fact. It\’s nothing new.
Now consider batman in the dark knight. His humanity is highlighted. And the choices he made in that movie is reflective of the choices on which our society is founded on. In short, these choices, once questioned and problematized can threaten to shake our foundations, or worse, plunge our civilization\’s moral structures into chaos. The watchmen will also explore this. And perhaps will reach much deeper into these questions. Only the stout minded will appreciate all this work’s resonances.
