RE: 8 Reasons Batman May Be Jealous of Superman After All
I up-vote for the effort and the HONEST comment you give! However, I feel like you miss the whole point and you overlook the spirit of this post (which also includes comedic elements).
If you watched Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice or even better if you've read (I am a HUGE comic fan) Lex Luthor: Man of Steel (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/401200.Lex_Luthor) then you should DEFINITELY KNOW that Batman (Lex Luthor as well), is clearly being jealous, envious, xenophobic and even racist towards an "alien" who only wants to save human civilians and protect this world. Batman is the typical weak-minded human being who is absolutely terrified, scared and envious of something that is NATURALLY SUPERIOR to him. Just like Lex Luthor. Read the comic and you will even see him admitting it. Watch Justice League and you will see Batman being apologetic to Superman for his envy and jealousy pretty much (he brought him back in life from dead because he felt guilty).
Batman, for all his intelligence and wealth, falls in the trap that SO MANY human beings fall on a daily basis: he's being JEALOUS of someone that in a perfect world he should ADMIRE AND LOOK UP TO. He feels threatened by someone who has never taken a human life (Batman has done it in MANY CASES https://screenrant.com/times-batman-has-killed-people/).
What many fail to understand is that Superman is Jesus in disguise. You say he doesn't consider death an option (have you heard of a thing called kryptonite? It CAN VERY EFFICIENTLY KILL Superman you know...) yet HE GAVE his own life WILLINGLY to save the world in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, while Batman was just chilling and starring from distance.
And he didn't give his own life because someone killed his parents or because destroyed his skyscraper in Gotham City and was seeking revenge, but because he's PURE in heart and his love for humanity is GOD-LIKE! (according to Christian faith).
We can agree to disagree for the rest of our lives but I don't agree with a word you said, even though I respect your views (Voltaire). Batman is just a human...Superman, on the other hand, is TOO HUMAN for his own good. If he was like Batman in mentality, he would have killed the bat-man within a second and that's their MAIN DIFFERENCE ;)
I was simply providing a counter argument. In order to better understand what one is trying to convey or argue, they must better understand what the counter argument is as well.
Thus my intent was to also get you to respond to provide more clarity on your post. Which you did, and which has caused me to admit that I do actually agree with you. My response is also for all of the [basic] humans out there. Since that is what we all are most likely are.
And if I’m going to disagree with you at all. It’s in two places. First I don’t know what it would be like to live in Superman’s mind (aka I didn’t read the comics and can’t assume to know what a demigods mind is like) and second I don’t know if comparing Superman to Jesus actually makes me compelled to like him any more. Unless it is simply the “Jesus-like act” of self sacrifice that we are comparing - then maybe.
:)
Even if Jesus was just a man and has nothing to do with what Christian Faith has taught us, he was a man who spoke about love, justice, forgiveness, altruism, generosity, unselfishness etc. To this day I fail to understand how some people (I am not referring to you with this one, just to make that clear, but to some atheist and heavily politicized friends of mine) are against a man who was all Karl Marx wish he was if you know what I mean.
To begin with, Jesus didn't give a flying fock about money....That alone made him superior in MANY WAYS to like 100% of people (including myself) I've met in this lifetime LOL
That’s why I said it the way I said it. [If] Jesus was simply a pawn used by someone to control the masses that couldn’t accept Judaism. That doesn’t mean that there is nothing to learn from “his” beliefs and teachings. Everyone is their own god, and they should do their best to be accountable for that and emulate that idea for which they believe in, assuming it’s altruistic and positive.
