For an interesting reflection on what actually underpins the stories and their ethical frameworks - see this article: We Can Be Superheroes, Too on my other blog...

I think the whole appeal of this movie is going to be pinned on the role of Heath Ledger... I have seen a few promos and he looks spectacular!!!!

I’m sorry I cannot add to the debate on the superhero qualities of Batman since i lost interest in him as a child when I learnt that the Batmobile would pollute the world more than what would be enviromental implication os Spidey leaping off buildings...

its silly but that is what i thought as a kid!!!

Christian Bale is as good as Heath Ledger and I’m sure the movie will be kick-ass. As far as your ’losing interest in Batman’ is concerned, I feel you haven’t read enough of this character. And since you have grown up now, you can revive the interest.

Sometimes you get more famous after you’re dead. like, Kurt Cobain for instance. I don’t know if he would have been as famous as he is if he were alive. the death creates more mystery around the person, at least it does for me. Its the same case for Heath. i hope the movie turns out great :)

Though I am not so interested in all these superheroes now, still I like them. Because as a kid I used to watch a lot of all these. With the rise of 2-D and 3-D animation, these super natural themes are catching attention once again. It takes us into an imaginative world for sometime.

Ya, you are right. Batman is not our archetypal superhero, with his double-faced personality. Still the character is interesting as something powerful and mysterious. Whatever deviates from the natural, it’s obvious to catch attention. I have not seen The Dark night, but I would certainly watch it sometime. It must be good.

Absolutely Sharmila. Heath Ledger is more popular now than when he was alive. However, his part is in The Dark Knight does deserve appreciation.

:) yup. but thats unfortunate, id prefer being alive and not-so-popular than being dead and popular! but then, thats the way how things have turned out for Health. i really hope he gets the appreciation he deserve, though he isnt really there to see it.

Don’t worry Alpheus and Sharmila, Heath Ledger must be there in the sky and watching the film as well. LOL!!!

Heath Ledger must be thanking us all as well, for we are appreciating him and discussing about him a lot. Poor guy! he died because of his own foolishness. What to do? It’s the system of the world for ages, people get honour for their good deeds only after the death. Heath Ledger is also one among them.

May the soul rest in peace and happyness.

But take care, he may come in your dream sometime- the batman.LOL!!
