The Greatest Batman Analogues
Manage episode 430841922 series 2922078
“The Greatest Batman Analogues” started as a companion to our “Greatest Superman Analogues” episode but it quickly grew into a conversation about how powerful and impactful a Batman could or should be. Many Twitter dorks including us have tried to put real world morality on this particular comic book character given our frankly natural suspicion and disdain for billionaires. It isn’t actually clear that the original creators of Batman wanted his wealth to be a key part of his badassery in any way besides gadgets and free time. Almost all of the original comic book men of action were rich. Zorro, The Phantom, The Green Hornet, hell The Scarlet Pimpernel! But those guys aren’t Batman.In interrogating what exactly constitutes a Batman analogue maybe we can recontextualize the character. Maybe we can find out what areas his “sons” can investigate to carve out their own place in the pantheon of awesome “regular humans” who fight alongside the super gods.
