Batman V. Beowulf

How do you compare these legends of pop culture that literally have thousands of stories about them. Well we going to try are best to go in depth.
                Well time periods would be a good place to start. So if you look at Beowulf it takes place in a mythical universe, I would like to think that he would be in the middle ages. Whereas Batman (the Christopher Nolan Trilogy ia the basis of this paper because it’s the greatest rendition of batman). Another difference is that Beowulf has super powers whereas batman has none but  he is trained and has technology. I think there both smart in their own ways such as Beowulf is wiser and Batman uses more of smart tactical approach where as Beowulf goes more of a gun blazing approach and figures out as he goes. Batman also has emotional baggage with parents and Rachel dying and Beowulf really doesn’t seem to have any real problems. I think at their core trying to do the same thing defeat “monsters” that harm people. The one big difference is Beowulf has more of a mercenary vipe where if Russians have a problem then Beowulf will get a boat and go there with his best 14 men and then about half of them will die and then Beowulf might feel like doing something. Where Batman pretty locked down in Gotham. You could debate what strategy is better because Gotham is going to be safe but Chicago is going to pretty rough or in Beowulf he will go back in fourth.  There fighting styles are very different In the way that Beowulf fights a mano a mano (aka when he’s naked) and Batman fights with every gun known to man and is Bricked out in armor.

                I think both heroes are cool in their own respects. I think Beowulf is cool because he likes fighting on a level playing field and batman is a normal human being and I think that makes him more admirable.
