Are you serious?
You mean you get joy out of watching (or reading, whatever the case may be) something you know the outcome of before hand?
If you know he can't die what the hell could you possibly get out of the whole experience.
The whole point of a superhero is they have superhuman powers. If they lose their shred of humanity what's the point?
What about Wolverine? He heals and he kicks ass. His weakness is magnets. I don't know many people with a weakness to magnets. I find magnets to be fun.
None. I hate him.
You're right though, I'm not being fair, being unfamiliar with the comic version of superman. The movie version/tv show piss me right off.
"If Clark wanted to, he could use his super-speed and squish me into the cement. But I know how he thinks. Even more than the Kryptonite, he's got one big weakness. Deep down, Clark's essentially a good person...and deep down, I'm not "
batman:hush
batman will go through whatever he can to get what he wants;save for killing people.
even superman bows to the greatness that is batman
Wolverine is Immortal. He can't die because he killed Lazurus. Wolverine sucks now.... Yeah because the point of the superman comic is to show you how human he truly is...
And by the way, your definition of a true superhero is a little off. A Superhero is a being of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest. Which just so happens to also be the definition of superman...
OMFG! You're not looking past the start of The Dark Knight at all. The Joker right at the beginning was nothing but a villain with one liners and clown make-up, and it barely got more serious than that until Frank Miller started to change things. Also there was NOTHING complex about it until that stage, it only happened since the mid to late 80's. The Joker was presented AS THE JOKER in the film. Actually to be honest the Joker was given more personality in that film. Also, I don't see I don't see how between Batman and Batman begins there's much difference between the "social outcast". He's presented a man who doesn't want to be involved in the high life in both except in one he's more a wanker in Batman Begins. You're taking the portrayals of these characters to heart but there's something you I can't believe you haven't picked up on, Batman changes ALL THE TIME. The presentation of batman and Bruce Wayne, depending on the character will change accordingly. It's the world of comic books which allow the whole alternative universes and different personalities of these characters to shine. However, by all means take the things you kinda read from maybe a handful of comics and the films to heart.
Way to wikipedia
It depends what definition you use, but the word itself, both super and hero are human terms. You don't normally refer to animals or inanimate objects as heroes right?
Ergo a superhero is simply a hero (so human) who is super.
