Ironic

It is now clear where the title 'the big blue boyscout' comes from. Superman is clearly portrayed as a puppet for the government in this epic comic: Dark Knight Part IV. It is exciting to see Miller's portrayal of both characters. I have always seen Superman as the hero who more often than not opposed the radical and extreme actions of the government although he made an effort not to become an enemy. Although I am more unfamiliar with batman, (I only recently started reading some recent comics on him) I see him as the character who is cautious of superman's abilities and power and also more trusting of the human race. That being said, it is more plausible for him to fight for the government or for humanity. But it seems that they have switched roles in the Dark Knight and it is interesting to see how Miller plays with this idea.
