Rorschach’s journal,
Superhero is one busy guy, I’ll give you that. Although he isn’t my favorite superhero, it’s cool to learn how his origins developed and learn about the stories that most people don’t know. Out of all the readings, two stood out to me the most. One of them was a The Super-Key and the other was the Origin of Superman!
One thing that I noticed in the Origin of Superman was how they tried to make it more scientific. They made the statement that all Kryptonians were super smart compared to us. For example when a women says “I’m worried junior has reached the third grade and does not yet know his calculus!” and the man next to her response “he is a trifle backward, but next year he’ll be five years old and he’ll know it by then!”. This conversation got me thinking. If Jor-El predicted that the world is doomed then why didn’t the other Kryptonians listen to him seeing that their super smart. It doesn’t take a genius to know that when your entire planet shakes, it means something is wrong.
The other story that I really enjoyed was the Super-Key. This one was unique to me because it was only Superman doing this own thing. We only saw Lois in one panel and that’s it! But what really got me excited was that it featured the Dark Knight himself! From the very beginning I knew it was Batman. He was definitely in my top guesses. The other interesting thing was we actually got to see Superman’s hideout. All the exotic things he had and all the trophies.
To me this was sort of a battle between both of them. Especially since the new Superman v Batman movie is coming out, I think this was a good read because it shows us how cunning and elusive Batman can be. But it also shows how smart and intelligent Superman is. We got to see Superman play detective while Batman played the intruder.
This story also in my opinion represented their friendship especially when Superman said that Batman is the only guy he trusted with his secret identity. This right here, was a great example of how close they are. They truly are brothers. However I would still get mad if someone did that to me!
