Batman and Social Justice Batman and Social Justice Da Huo I am a guy who love watching hero comic books and cartoon since I was very young. Among all the heroes from comics, I like Batman most. Compared to Superman or Spiderman who has supernatural abilities to fight, Batman, as a real human, fights against the dark power in Gotham City. However, when I grow up, especially after watching the Batman film “Dark Knight”, I have deeper feeling about Batman. In the film, we have two knight, one is Dark knight-Batman, who acts as a man to punish crimes go beyond laws, technically he is an criminal too. Another is the Light Knight-Dent, the latter two-face, who believes to create super law justice system to administrate the city. In the film, Batman did many illegal things like he used a device that can eavesdrop everyone’s cell-phones in the city. The inventor said it’s immoral. Batman said he must find the criminal so he added password to the system, only one man can get access. The inventor said it is too much for one man to control that. Batman said: “That’s why I give it to you.” This is the logic of social elites, they ask for distribution of power because they don’t want corruption. But if they get all the power, they will not oppose despotism. In the end, the Light Knight’s faith was blow up by Joker, he became one of the dark power. People put their hope onto Batman again. Social justice generally refers to the idea of creating a society or institution that is based on the principles of equality and solidarity, that understands and values human rights, and that recognizes the dignity of every human being. It is protected by laws and policies. From this view, Batman is man who support social justice and want to build that in the city but at the same time he is also a breaker of the social justice because no one can punish others out of the law. As a result, in a healthy and democratic society, we should not permit superheroes like Batman exist. We cannot hope that one absolute right superman come out and maintain the rules. Democracy is only thing that can protect social justice. When people can truly feel their power and rights, then we can build a society that has social justice. Social justice is a wonderful suggestion in the world. However, there is a long way to achieve. .

  • What Superman Teaches Us About the American Dream and Changing Values Within the United States
    TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY: WHAT SUPERMAN TEACHES US ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM AND CHANGING VALUES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES Lauren N. Karp AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Lauren N. Karp for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 4, 2009 . Title: Truth, Justice, and the American Way: What Superman Teaches Us about the American Dream and Changing Values within the United States Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________________________ Evan Gottlieb This thesis is a study of the changes in the cultural definition of the American Dream. I have chosen to use Superman comics, from 1938 to the present day, as litmus tests for how we have societally interpreted our ideas of “success” and the “American Way.” This work is primarily a study in culture and social changes, using close reading of comic books to supply evidence. I argue that we can find three distinct periods where the definition of the American Dream has changed significantly—and the identity of Superman with it. I also hypothesize that we are entering an era with an entirely new definition of the American Dream, and thus Superman must similarly change to meet this new definition.
