Why Superman isn't a boring character
Most people consider superman as this archetypical character who is just an impossibly strong powerhouse. Well, Many years ago, this was my point of view. I've always thught of Superman as this lame superhero who has this lame and boring power. For example: Batman is a broken down character. A man who denies his own weakness, his humanity. He suffers for the people of gotham. He endures tha pain given to him and he strikes fear as a symbol that will never die. This is a powerful story. Not only can we relate to it, we also see that Batman is a genuinely cool character. What about Superman? His capabilities exceeds ours, he does not share our mortality and he is an alien. How can we relate to him?

Well Ladies and Gentlemen, I will tell you why.

The Misconception
Superman is more than a superhero. Superman is an ideal of hope. Someone that we can aspire to, Someone who can make the right choice. Superman is not just a powerhouse shield. He may have all those unrealistic powers, but it's what he does that makes him a hero. He does not instill fear, he instills hope. He is someone everyone can depend on. Someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for everyone. His sense of morality is tested everyday, every second. But he doesn't break. He stands for truth and hope.



The Most Iconic Superhero of All Time
You heard me right. Superman is the greatest and heroic superhero of all time. His actions inspire us to do better things, push us forward. He is not boring. He is human. He is as human as someone can be. He understands. He is more than the power he bears.
