The superhero genre is usually loosely based on classic comics. They have evolved throughout the years, in many cases, into cinematic universes.

    Normally, depending on if the movie is a sequel or not, there would be an origin story or something to break the entrance of the movie. Once that’s over there’s the middle section which takes up most of the movie and usually has some sort of conflict in it. In the end, there is the conclusion which either ties up the story or leaves you on a cliffhanger.

    Genres sort movies into different categories depending on what themes are clear in the film. It informs the watcher of what type of movie they will be observing, and some of the storyline it may possibly follow. 

     There is a massive amount of things that have changed in superhero movies. From the costumes to the fighting to the story itself. The costumes have gotten much much better over the years but that's to be expected. Obviously, the fighting has gotten more realistic with the implementation of CGI and a bigger budget. The story though, the story is one thing that changes but also stays the same at the same time. There are many ways of telling the same story, sometimes this makes the movies a major flop but other times it makes them some of the biggest hits. 

     One of the best examples of a set of movies that blew the fans away with the story is the Dark Knight trilogy. Everyone knows that in the DC universe there are a lot of heroes and villains that have super powers, or just things that would not be possible in real life. This is one thing that makes this iteration of Batman stand out among all the others. Not only is the cinematography just amazing but in this version all the things that happen are more or less possible in real life.

     Everyone knows that a major story point in Batman, that has to do with Bane at least, is that he breaks Batman's back. In this version, Bane isn't a crazed man hyped up on a super steroid, he's an extremely clever and strong man. The one weakness he really has is his mask that keeps him alive, that and his care for Thalia Al Ghul. The point is that in real life all the things that happen are possible. This makes you care about the characters more than you might had there been "Super Villains". Batman is a hero but not really a Superhero in the way that he's just a very skilled man with no powers.

    A very good example of a movie that would fit into this category and is a top tier movie is Avenger Infinity War. This is a movie that has been led up to over the course of many years and movies. This movie contains many of the norms you see in most super hero movies but it also contains some abnormalities. In this movie the heroes don't win in the end. This major plot point is what differentiates this movie from others like it. As far as norms go, this movie contains many of the big ones for example the use of big cities that are in just about every iconic super hero movie. 

     This is one of the most significant movie clips as of 2019. For once, at the end of a movie, the heroes lost their battle with the villain and fell. Even though there is a squeal coming out and things will most likely be sorted out then, large cliffhangers with movies like these are rare. 

    This is one of the more iconic movie clips in that as per usual the hero goes through some sort of trial and in the end triumphs over it at the betterment of himself.

     The five most inspirational figures would be, in my opinion, Superman, Batman, The Flash, Spiderman, and Wonder Woman. Superman would probably be the major influence on all the superhero movies due to him being the first one in recorded history. The next would be Wonder Woman, the reason being fairly obvious since she was the first iconic female superhero. Since Batman was one of the first superheroes without powers, he remains at the top of this list as well. His story and especially his rival throughout the years grew in popularity. Spiderman, another iconic hero, was idolized from his unique powers and origin stories. For the last superhero, we have the flash, the fastest man alive. Although there are quite a few superheroes with speed, no one can ever truly beat Barry Allen.

     The first figure who inspired a variety of superhero movies is Stan Lee. Stan Lee worked for a company which would eventually become Marvel, one of the biggest movie industries. Some of the famous actors who influenced the business are Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. Chris Evans for his role of Captain America, and Robert Downey Jr. for playing the loveable character of Ironman. One set of movies, my favorite, was directed by someone named Sam Raimi, the main character being played by Tobey Maguire. With the two working together, a series of three films were produced and were referenced for the latest Spiderman films we have today.

  The main thing that connects the Dark Knight series with the super hero genre is probably the way that, just like many heroes, is considered a criminal. in the end of the 3 movies he is considered a symbol of hope for the citizens and a symbol of fear for the criminals. Even if Batman were to die, he would still remain as a piece of history and someone that the people of Gotham look up to. This is one of the main things with super heroes is that they can die but in their respective universes their legacy lives on.
