Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel, are they to be the next Captain America and Iron Man in D.C. format?  Since Captain America Civil War came out a month after Batman vs. Superman, the Batman and Superman feud was quickly extinguished.  Due to this delay in its fame the feud has started to come up once again in the glory it never had before.  While many people say that Superman is better, a few will say Batman is the better choice.  

A recent survey, at Springville Junior High, showed that forty-four percent of the people say that they like superman opposed to batman.  The survey also showed that thirty-three percent of people like batman opposed to superman.  The rest of people stated that they do not have a preference for one of the other.  The main jest of the reason for liking superman more is that he has better superpowers and he is not as dark.  One of the people who voted for Batman was Elizabella Francom, an eighth grader, and she said, “He is awesome.”  The people that voted for neither said that they simply could not choose.  Payton Evans, an eighth grader at Springville Junior High, states, “Neither, because they can sometimes be babies about silly things.”

When asked which superhero they related to more majority said that they related to Superman.  The other forty-five percent said that they do not relate to either of them.  Cheyenne Skinner, an eighth grader, said that she related more to Superman because, “I don’t wear black.”   While many people relate more to Superman, many others do not relate to either of them.  

Students at Springville Junior have many different reasons as to why they think what they think.  Many of the answers were neither because the students do not really know much about Superman or Batman.  While there are some people at Springville Junior who would be able to tell you a ton about  Superman and Batman, many more would be able to tell you about Captain America and Iron man.  

There are many other opinions that can argue that Batman is better, but with the information collected at Springville Junior High the majority points to Superman.  With the information collected you could argue that you will say you like the person you can relate to.  One of the important things to learn from this survey is what students think is important attributes for a hero or not a hero.  The way kids think of hero’s in the movies is going to affect the way that kids see heroes and hero like figures.  If you had to choose a favorite who would you choose?  Why do you think that you would choose that person, and does that affect the way you and your family look at heroes and hero like figures?
