Superheroes

Everyone loves 'em.

Superheroes were once the pure essence of manliness. Capes, tights, and flashy colors were all the rage 60 years ago. Jump to present day. Kids read less comic books so they can waste time by playing (way too much) Call of Duty and Halo. Comic books sold like hotcakes in the fifties. It was only a few cents for hours of entertainment. The heroes themselves have evolved overtime to progress with time. As kids started dropping the books and went over to television, comic books did just that with their heroes. Batman had reached stardom with his television series aptly named Batman. Even Batman's friends like Superman and Wonder Woman started airing their own television shows.

DC comics was taking the superhero realm by storm. That is until Marvel showed up. Marvel introduced new heroes like the Fantastic 4, Spider-Man, and Captain America. Before you could say "BAP!" or "KAZAM!", the heroes hit the big screen. Since then, heroes have been in major Hollywood action blockbusters since the sixties. People remember the recent Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds (and his abs) and The Dark Knight. Not to mention all the video games released with all your favorite heroes beating up those bad guys. At least the future of superheroes will be safe in the hands of gamers (when they aren't playing Call of Duty or Halo).
