...The Dark Knight- English ESSAY The Dark Knight, released in 2008 and written, directed and produced by Christopher Nolan is set within a year after the events of Batman Begins. Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new district attorney Harvey Dent successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City until a mysterious criminal mastermind known as the Joker appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos. Through the use of various visual codes and conventions the central ideas of Chaos vs Order, Heroes vs Villains and Light vs Dark are reinforced during the final scenes of the film. Viewers of The Dark Knight are challenged to respond to the central themes and ideas and explore the in depth characterization within the film. The idea of order within Gotham collapses when Harvey Dent, once seen a symbol of order as Gotham’s elected DA declines rapidly and becomes a representation of chaos or anarchy. This is revealed through Harvey Dent’s dialogue at the ending scene in the film, saying “the only morality in a cruel world is chance”. This dialogue is paired with the symbolic action of flipping a scorched 2 headed coin, signifying Harvey’s change from a symbol of order or Gotham’s “white knight” to his decline into chaos. The Joker is known throughout the film as a agent of chaos as he said during this dialogue with Harvey Dent in the hospital “Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order and everything becomes chaos. I am an agent of chaos. Oh, and...

...The Tick vs The Idea Men After bombarding the super hero convention in Reno, The Tick, a square-jawed, muscular, bright blue-costumed figure, is placed as the protector of "The City." On his first day on the job he meets Arthur, a neurotic accountant with a moth costume who dreams of becoming a super hero. They instantly become friends and protect The City from The Idea Men, villains who wear masks that make it impossible to enunciate. On their journey, they meet many other inadequate super heroes’. To put it simply, The Tick is a show that parodies popular comic book characters and character types. In the ‘The Tick vs. The Idea Men’ episode, multiple satirical super heroes are introduced. These characters are all a parody from previous super hero movies or shows. Characters such as Die Fledermaus, American Maid and Big Shot. Die Fledermaus is a parody of Batman. He seems to be an arrogant bat-like super hero. His costume has a big black cape and has bat characteristics such as oversized ears, and a realistic bat nose with huge nostrils. American Maid has stars and stripes down her French maid outfit. She is a mix between Captain America and wonder woman. She also seems to have had a bad romantic relationship with Die Fledermaus because when they both met in the first episode she called him ‘a jerk, a rabid goon, incredibly immature, and told him to go stink up a cave.’ Big Shot is a spoof of a character called The Punisher. Big Shot is a gun maniac, has a skull as a...

...produced. History has shown, that superheroes like Superman were created after the depression and World War I when the country needed a heroic figure in time of hardship. Along with every superhero, there is also a villain or monster, in which case the depression was, since it was what society had to overcome as nation. The image of Superman was used to uplift society and showing what America should represent. Through the readings, heroes and monsters have general characteristics that are seen in people in modern day society. Looking at superheroes seen in comic books or movies, they have very similar qualities from their upbringing to their adversities as a superhero. Through “The Hero: Man Divided against Himself” it reveals the roles of superheroes and how most of them derive from Greek myths. It begins with showing the heroic pattern that heroes tend to follow, for example Superman or Batman came from a royal family, becoming an orphan, overcomes a near death experience and defeats the villain. These are a few of the many patterns heroes follow. The chapter goes on to acknowledge that these characteristics can be seen in. modern day people, like first responders during a tragedy or soldiers fighting on foreign soil. According to The Hero and Society (sub point), “the hero has unique gifts that allow him to excel at protecting human societies from threats to personal, economic, or cultural survival” (231). This expresses that heroes can be seen from many different perspectives to...

...The term “Hero” is a very ambiguous word. A hero for one group of people or one country is a villain or enemy to the next. Normally the traits associated with a hero are courageous, selfless, strong, leader, determined and perseverance. This idea is proven in Wolfgang Petersen’s film Troy and Zack Snyder’s film 300. Both films portray a character that embodies the image of a hero, Prince Hector and King Leonidas and Anit-hero/villains who are greedy and inspired by wealth, fame, and or power, Achilles and Xerxes. The theme of Heroism in 300 and Troy are similar because they both exhibit a common philosophy of Immortalization of oneself vs the protection of ones homeland and people. The latter is viewed more highly because their heroic action are for the betterment of themselves and other people but goal of the former is selfish and self-centered which is seen as immoral and is often frowned upon. Whether or not any of these characters are heroes is debatable but fact remains that they all possess characteristics of a hero in addition to the same idea of “All for One” vs “One for All”. Although, these historical events took place during different times in history these two different pairs of characters represent the same thing. Ironically the conclusion of both the films express that when the two interject, those who fight for themselves will indeed conquer those who fight for their land and people. In the Spartan culture warriors were taught to either win the...

...The main theme in Julius Caesar is Heroes vs. Villains because both Caesar and Brutus are perceived to be heroes and villains in Julius Caesar. At the opening of the play, Caesar is hailed for conquests and is admired for his apparent humility upon refusing the crown. However, after Caesar is murdered, he is painted as a power hungry leader with the intentions of enslaving all of Rome. Caesar was painted as this by Brutus who was the power hungry one.

...Good vs. Evil By: Maria Domingo 3rd block- Ms. Best Good always seems to overcome the evil in every story, novel, movie etc. In both Beowulf and Star wars there is a hero and a villain. Their stories each have a meaning on what is good and evil, most importantly sacrifices. They fight for what they believe and to save their own people. In Beowulf, King Hrothgar builds a great Mead-hall called Herot, where his people and warriors can celebrate and share stories. Despite their celebrations, Grendel, one of Evil’s sons, terrorizes them and kills them every night he hears them happy and cheerful. One day Beowulf, a Geatish warrior, comes upon Demark to defeat Grendel. He fights him unarmed and defeats him by tearing off the monster’s arm. Grendel is mortally wounded and dies in his swamp. However Grendel’s mother seeks revenge, killing one of Hrothgar’s most trusted advisors. Beowulf still fights back by killing her as well. Years pass and a dragon comes to terrorize Denmark, Beowulf also defeats this monster, but dies in the process. He had given all his strength and courage to save his people. In Star Wars IV, Darth Vader had intercepted Princess Leia’s ship and interrogated the crew and ordering his stormtroopers to search the ship for secret documents he believe is there. Princess Leia gets a message in one of her robots, R2, and lets them escape so someone can get the cry for help. Eventually Luke Skywalker finds R2 and stumbles across a bit of the...

...Real Hero: Beowulf vs. Grendel The story of the famous battle between Beowulf and Grendel are told in two stories in The story of Beowulf by an unknown author and Grendel by John Gardner. The story of Beowulf is told in 3rd person by someone recounting the events and Grendel is told in a 1st person view of Grendel himself. There is lots of controversy whether which of the two is the real hero, so here is the gist of both stories for you to decide: There is a small town full of people that is being tormented by a monster who comes only to kill and bring terror among the people, the attacks continue and after a short while comes a famous warrior named Beowulf. He comes to defeat the town’s monster to save the people and end the mindless killings of Grendel. Both stories result in Grendel being killed and Beowulf being praised for his actions and he eventually becomes a great, fair king that all the people adore and love. The Anglo-Saxon definition of a hero is typically a man who is strong, brave and an intelligent warrior. They had to be willing to fight to the...

...The Marvel and DC franchises are two of the most popular comic book and movie companies. Being rivals has made choosing a side very difficult. With countless comic books in their past, but eventually, every fan must choose a side. The story of mythical heroes with extraordinary powers saving their kin from villains dates back to ancient history. The Greek Scribe Homer gave us earthly warrior heroes battling with one-eyed monsters and women with snakes for hair. In the Middle Ages, the enduring tale of a mythical hero was that of King Arthur, a man who wielded a magical sword to save his kingdom from ruin. These days, the average person might be hard-pressed to suspend belief in such gloriously bloody stories, but that hasn’t stopped us from telling tales in which Good is pitted against monstrous Evil. The most prevailing of these modern heroic tales have been the creations of storytellers whose medium is the comic book, and in turn, the film industry. Today we’ll compare two of the champions of the comic book genre, in this episode of The Infographics Show, Marvel vs. DC. First we’ll start with an introduction to DC, which is often hailed as ‘the...

...Tomb Raider and Uncharted William Britton-Olson Com/170 August 20, 2012 Karen Mitchell Comparing and Contrasting Tomb Raider and Uncharted Tomb Raider and Uncharted are two video games that are identical yet vastly different in terms of developer’s concepts, story lines, and characters. Tomb Raider was originally designed 11 years before Uncharted, and while Tomb Raider is its own creation the developers gained their inspiration from both the Atari game Pit-Fall and the Indiana Jones movies. Tomb Raider introduced the world to a whole new idea of treasure hunting and Archeology being so closely related that they are almost one and the same, just on different sides of the law most of the time. Uncharted, while it is its own concept, did follow in the footsteps of Tomb Raider regarding the type of game, but the stories are vastly different. Some of the more commonly known similarities between Tomb Raider and Uncharted are in terms of the design and development. Both games were originally designed for the Sony PlayStation as an exclusive PlayStation only game, but with the growing popularity and the opportunity for cross plat forming, both developers Eidos and Naughty Dog have expanded the fan-base by making these games available on the PC as well as the PlayStation. Other similarities are that these two games are in a classification of Action-Adventure/Puzzle Game both games have a wide range of hidden treasures that have to be found in order to progress through the game...

...Jess Jones Persuasive Paper: Marvel vs. DC November 3, 2015 One of the most controversial topics for teenagers and adults alike is the topic of which comic brand is better, Marvel or DC? DC and Marvel fans have been at each other’s throats since the 1950’s. “The battle between DC and Marvel is eternal. First it was in the comic shop, then it was on the Internet and most recently, it’s on the big screen (Lussier).” says Tsujihara. DC characters are better because their status is more realistic and attainable, they are more popular among the children, and DC characters work hard for their strengths and powers and use them for good. There are two categories within DC: the gods, such as Wonder Woman and Superman, and the iconic underdogs, such as Batman and Green Lantern. The gods are from another planet or universe and are normally the ruler’s child. They use their powers to protect their land. The underdogs are the favorite in any story and work the hardest. They are not born with any powers, but they want to help so they make a way. The underdogs are the people we look up to and admire the most. They are good men and/or women whom we strive to be like. Everyone looks up to Bruce Wayne because he is a good guy who wants to turns the bad events in his life into profit for others. Marvel literally has no characters that work for their superhero status. People love Marvel and support it and they wonder why their children do not want to work for what they get. Children start...
