I loved Teen Titans. I have very fond memories of spending hot summer days watching the show on Cartoon Network and then hopping on the computer to play a Mortal Kombat style beat-em-up, starring the heroes and villains of the show, on cartoonnetwork.com. Then, in 2007, after airing for four years, the show finally came to an end. I wanted more, but I was happy with what we got and I always had the option of catching reruns. Six years later, in 2013, we got the unnecessary reboot Teen Titans Go!
Unlike the negative influence that heroines teach girls, few heroines teach the contrary. Because children have role models and are influenced by them, girls could learn about leadership and confidence. Rosemary Roberts says, “[a]s children’s lives unfold and widen to include and places outside the home, television and stories in books, so their choice of role models for their pretend play widens too […] encouraging children’s play gives a safe way to explore and begin to understand themselves, the

Thor these are some of the biggest and most popular names in comic book history. Years of popularity have made these heroes some of the most well-known characters in pop culture. Ask any man woman or child to name a hero and chances are one of these heroes will be the one that comes to mind. These characters once defined what people thought superheroes were and for a long time, nearly every other superhero was just like them. For years comic books typically followed the trend of having a straight, white

Though the concept of a shared universe was not new or unique to comics in 1960, writer/editor Stan Lee, together with several artists including Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, created a series of titles where events in one book would have repercussions in another title and serialized stories would show characters' growth and change. Headline characters in one title would make cameo or guest appearances in other books. Eventually many of the leading heroes assembled into a team known as the Avengers
exchange for, among other compensation, a mandatory byline on all Batman comics. This byline did not originally say "Batman created by Bob Kane"; his name was simply written on the title page of each story. The name disappeared from the comic book in the mid-1960s, replaced by credits for each story's actual writer and artists. In the late 1970s, when Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster began receiving a "created by" credit on the Superman titles, along with William Moulton Marston being given the byline for creating

The Comics Code Authority Blood, guns, killing, and death. These things were very limited in comics in the “silver age” of comics from 1956 to 1970 and into the “bronze age” from 1970 to 1985. Comics approved by the Comics Code Authority had a seal of approval much like the parental advisory seal on CDs that are not suitable for children. Unlike the parental advisory seal, the Comics Code Authority regulated whether or not a comic book was appropriate for children or people of a certain age. When
From the inception of comic books to the current age of superhero movies, strong female characters are few and far between. The strength referred to here is not the ability to bench press a bus, but the characteristic of being able to stand alone without support from a male character. Why aren't there more strong female superheroes? With the sex ratio in just the United States at 96.99% (which means that for every 100 men there are 103.11 women) showing that there are just a few more women than men

Batman! Comic book movie are big business. Indeed, the genre has evolved from its fringe beginnings (anyone else remember Howard the Duck?) to effectively monopolise mainstream cinema. Even though Marvel has done its best to corner the market over the past decade, DC heroes Batman and Superman are still arguably the two most recognisable names amongst fair-weather fans. So the upcoming blockbuster, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” which stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in the title roles, and

Patty Jenkins, also known as Patricia Lea Jenkins, is an American film director and screenwriter, once said, “It’s not easy to be a hero. You do it because of what you believe, not because of what other people deserve.” This may be interpreted as, you can’t just one day decide to be a hero and that heroes know what is right and they don’t care who deserves it or not. In the minds of these heroes everyone deserves to be saved, even if they have vendetta against them; that is what makes them a hero
The lesson to be learned in Watchmen and figuring out who the superhero and villain are in the novel can be interpreted many different ways by readers, because the story of Watchmen consists of many valuable characters. One of the most important figures in the story is the second Silk Spectre, otherwise most referred to as Laurie Juspeczyk. Laurie can be viewed as the strong, woman protagonist in Watchmen. She is proud of her Polish heritage, vocal in her feminist and humanitarian concerns, and is
Scott McCloud says in Understanding Comics that “clothes…can trigger numerous transformations in the way others see us and in the way we see ourselves” (McCloud 38). The same could arguably be said about superheroes in costumes. When superheroes don their costumes, they take on the identity of another person to fight crime. When they return from a hard night’s work, they take off their costumes and revert back to their normal selves. However, which identity is their normal self: the civilian or
