Make Superman Great Again: Morality, Philosophy and The Man of Steel - ComicsVerse Outlander star Sam Heughan narrates a new animated film about the last fairy of Scotland - how to watch it. They are fun books, which every school ought to have in their libraries. Scotland has a proud philosophical tradition, though it is taught only intermittently on the curriculum. Any endeavour that redresses that is to be welcomed. This particular volume arrives at an auspicious anniversary. For 75 years, readers have enjoyed Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do? adventures of Kal-El, aka Clark Kent, aka Superman, ever since he first appeared in Action Comics 1, in April But — unlike Batman or the X-Men — he appeared as an intervention into a pre-existing philosophical discourse. Superman is the incarnation of Judeao-Christian ideas: he defends the weak, feels pity, and — let us not forget — is sent by his Father to earth, where he is a better human than the humans, dies at the hands of Doomsday and is resurrected from the grave or Kryptonian Regeneration Matrix. The answer was moral dilemma, and several chapters here concentrate on moral philosophy. Should Superman save Lois Lane, or a bus full of children? Is the only way to deal, permanently, with General Zod capital punishment? Each fork is then weighted: one has a baby, the other a pensioner. One has a morally blameless individual, the other has two wife-beaters. How do we apportion value in such, admittedly very hypothetical, circumstances? The moral questions extend to negative and positive moral obligation — do we have a duty to do things, or a duty not to do things — which at least attempts to unravel the paradox that Superman seems very good at dealing with Metallo, Parasite, Darkseid, Mr Mxyzptlk and Atomic Skull, but very bad at dealing with famine, AIDS, poverty, terrorism and Kim Jong Un. With War Bonds and Stamps! If Superman derives his powers from the sun, Clark Kent would do well on the staff of the Sun. Nevertheless, it is surprising how little of Superman is actually here. Hank Henshaw, the Cyborg Superman, would be a simple way to explore the philosophy of identity. Classical philosophy Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do? happy to use classical mythology as a means of exemplifying propositions — think of the Ship of Theseus in Plutarch; Achilles and the tortoise in Zeno; or the Choice of Hercules in Prodicus.

Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do? by Mark D. White This is part one of a two part article that analyzes the central moral argument of Man of Steel. He exists as human and alien, greater than both on their own, yet he is uncertain as to his purpose in life. Having not known his home planet of Krypton before it was destroyed, any connection to his first home is his weakness. It is an existential crisis manifested on the big screen. Although the reception of the film was mixed among critics and general audiences, most of the negative reaction was due to the battle between conflicting moral systems. Many viewers wished the film was lighter like its predecessors, dealing more with the overwhelming super-heroic charisma of the title character instead of a darker, bleaker look at humanity. After finding a Kryptonian ship and discovering Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do? artificial intelligence version of his father, Jor-El, Superman begins to test out his powers in the arctic. You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders. From his first depiction in Action ComicsSuperman, as an idealized version of humanity, sets a moral example for his audience. No other DC Comic hero is as great as he. He is the one, the only, and he stands above all others. When Christopher Reeves says those very words in the classic, Supermanit is a throw away line without power. Lois Lane laughs and makes a joke at his expense, dismissing him right off. He is a man who is invincible and can fly, and she playfully mocks him. That is a human response. You cannot just declare those words; you have to embody them. An audience needs to see this moral system develop. It must be tested and challenged, set forth into the crucible to force the impurities to Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do? out. A film depiction must put him to the test, challenging him not only physically but morally to determine if he is right to serve as our protector. In many of Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do? works, Nietzsche contrasts philosophical and theological views that promote a focus on an afterlife over this life. By creating another world with an eternal heaven and hell, they were able to control the rules of the system. Codifying their beliefs as morality, they could impose their will upon others through intimidation and fear. The latter promotes the absolute production of a unique individual over social considerations, setting those with talent above all others. Both traits are attributed to the Kryptonian people. In the confrontation between Jor-El and Zod, it is revealed that Krypton has a rigorous genetic selection program in place that controls reproduction. Zod is a staunch defender of biological superiority, placing himself as both the perfect individual who should rule over all others. Faora, one of the extremist followers of Zod also imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, declares in the heat of battle:. You are weak, Son of El, unsure of yourself. The fact that you possess a sense of morality, and we do not, gives us an evolutionary advantage. And if history has proven anything… It is that evolution always wins. Faora believes that only the strongest should rule, and the strongest should not be bound by any other consideration. They see others as beneath them, merely taking up resources and getting in the way. Then, they use the weakness of others to justify the purification of the lesser races. But what I have in view will now be understood, namely, that it is always a metaphysical belief on which our belief in science rests… still take our fire from the conflagration kindled by a belief a millennium old, the Christian belief, which was also the belief of Plato, that God is truth, that the truth is divine. To believe so fervently in science is to turn it into a religion. To turn evolution into a militarized motivation to purge weakness is to turn against humanity itself.

  • Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity As Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise
    Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity as Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise Jack Peterson Teiwes ORCID identifier 0000-0001-8956-1602 Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the PhD degree Produced on archival quality paper Abstract Since first appearing as a comic book character over three quarters of a century ago, Superman was not only the first superhero, spawning an entire genre of imitators, but also quickly became one of the most widely disseminated multi-media entertainment franchises. This achieved a degree of intergenerational cultural dissemination that far surpasses his comic book fandom. Yet despite an unprecedented degree of adaptation into other media from radio, newspaper strips, film serials, animation, feature films, video games and television, Superman’s ongoing comic books have remained in unbroken publication, developing a long and complex history of narrative renewal and reinvention. This thesis investigates the multifaceted intertextuality between the comic book portrayals of Superman and its many adaptations over the years, including how such retellings in other media have a generally stronger cultural impact, which exerts in turn an adaptive influence upon these continuing comics’ internalised narrative continuity. I shall argue that Superman comics, as a case study for the wider phenomenon in the superhero genre, demonstrate via their frequent revisions and relaunches of continuity, a process of deeply palimpsestuous self-adaptation. The Introduction positions my research methodology in relation to intertextual theory, with an emphasis on providing terminological clarity, while Chapter 1 expands into a literature review on pertinent key scholarship on adaptation studies and the comics studies field specifically.
