The article I chose is about the amount of superhero films being released in America. George speaks about the recent films released discussing the heroes powers which he believes really aren't real powers, but America looks up to these heroes and with the tragic terrorist attack of the world trade centre America seems to need a hero more than ever. These films are depicting a world that American citizens want to live in so they can feel protected and safe but the reality is that these heroes aren't heroes. For example George portrays Batman as a man that just has a lot of money, and then compares him to the "Typical man", "the complainer" and the "Sexual remark guy". I think what George is trying to say is that if the characters in these films can be superheroes why can't a "Typical man" as they all start off as ordinary people.
The recent release of 'Kick Ass' is a good example of this, as it is about a boy who decides to be a superhero but who doesn't actually have a power. Everyone wants to be a hero with powers, but the real heroes are the fire fighters who rescue so many lives and the policeman working everyday to make the country a safer place to live in.
