Why is batman important?

Until the advent of Superman (as a villain) in 1932 and later released in 1938 (as a hero), by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, most comic book serials were "pulp fiction". These stories included tales such as crime noir, sci fi, monster tales, and suspense thrillers. Superman is the first "true" prototypical superhero, clad in spandex, originating the super archetype emulated many times over by competitors. The creation of Superman helped to launch the comic book medium into mainstream respectability, cementing the comic book medium's place in American and international pop culture. Throughout the years, Superman has evolved in fiction from a social crusader, to a "big blue boy scout" defending the established authority. Nowadays, the multiple parallels between Superman and Jesus Christ are alluded to constantly in comic books, as well as in the "Superman Returns" movie released a few years back. Every comic book superhero depicted in movies, cartoons, or licensed items depicting that hero's likeness can be traced back to Superman and his influence on American culture. Therefore, indirectly, all comic book publishers owe Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster a debt of gratitude. For fans, Superman is the first and greatest. He represents the heroic ideals most aspire to. He is one of comic fiction's most famous orphans, as well as one of fiction's most famous American immigrants. For fans, Superman is a source of inspiration, reminding his readers to try your hardest to be the best person that you can be. Superman has been mentioned in song many times over. The phrase "You don't tug on Superman's cape" was a line in a famous Jim Croce song. Superman has been written about in numerous books outside the comics medium throughout the last 70 years. There have been numerous serials, including movies and television shows, both live and animated, as well as a Broadway musical. Superman is a huge money making property for DC comics and Warner Brothers, and is published in hundreds of countries in over two hundred languages. Superman is, without a doubt, the greatest myth of the twentieth century.
