After some time, when a greater threat came upon the people of Earth in the form of Darkside, he joined forces with other superheroes to save humanity and became an initial member of the Justice League. There he lived a double life as a journalist and a superhero using his extreme strength, flight, and heat vision to fight criminals and supervillains. Later on, he became a journalist and went to Metropolis. This origin story has been adapted into Superman movies throughout time bringing Superman to the big screen. He was taught that he was a savior and his purpose was to give people hope. As he grew up, he discovered his powers and with the support of his parents, learned to control them and use them for good. When he reached Earth, he was taken in by the Kents who renamed him Clark Kent. Kal-El, a native of the planet of Krypton, was sent to Earth when Krypton fell. Such an iconic character has been brought to life by a number of Batman actors throughout time creating a much deeper influence on people worldwide. Other than his superhero feats, Batman is a character that many people look up to as a role model, feeling a sense of strength in their weakest hours saying the two words ” I’m Batman”. Batman is the only DC Superhero who is worthy of the Green Lantern Ring and the Sinestro Corp Yellow Lantern Ring at the same time.īatman might not have any superpowers but his intellect and strength of character make him one of the strongest DC superheroes. He is the only superhero who literally blackmailed Darkside when he kidnapped Supergirl successfully recovering her. In the Dark Knight Returns comic series, Batman stood against Superman in a hand-to-hand fight using his tech and combat skills and almost killed Superman. Batman is the founder of the Justice League and the leader of “The Trinity.” In Justice League: Doom the animated movie, Batman’s contingency plans against the Justice League were stolen and used against them, almost killing the entire Justice League. Being the world’s greatest tactician, he has contingency plans against any possible situation that can go wrong.

You must be wondering, “ Why is Batman among the most powerful DC superheroes? he doesn’t even have any superpowers” Well, hear me out.īruce Wayne (or Batman) is a character known to be a formidable force against any kind of threat in the world. “I’m Batman” These two words have been terrorizing everyone, ranging from petty criminals to intergalactic supervillains. His powers were based on quantum energy which granted him abilities such as flight, invisibility, super strength, and metallic armor skin, atomic transmutation, and even time travel. In that timeline, he was denied his presidential pardon and worked as a government superhero named Captain Atom. The blast contained so much more energy compared to a regular atomic bomb and that excess energy pushed Adams twenty years ahead in time. He was made to sit inside the hull of a crashed alien ship while a super nuclear bomb was set off to check the durability of that alien ship.Īgainst all odds, Adams survived the blast but the metal of the ship melded into his body. If he does survive, he will be granted a presidential pardon for all his accusations. Sometime later, he was offered a chance to avoid his execution if he made himself the victim of certain Government Experiments which he may not survive.

He was falsely accused of a crime that he did not commit and was sentenced to death in 1968. Later on, Green Lantern became a member of the Justice League and holds ranks with other heroes of the Justice League to date.Ĭaptain Atom, previously known as Nathaniel Adams was a United States Air Force officer during the time of the Vietnam War. The Green Lantern can channel his power of will and conjure anything he can imagine with pure energy. Hal is a pilot for the US Airforce who stumbles upon a crashed Lantern, and as the Lantern dies, the power ring chooses Hal Jordan as the next Green Lantern. Later on, when the rights to the Green Lantern were sold to DC, Hal Jordan was introduced as the Green Lantern. He was not associated with the Green Lantern Corps since his power ring was de-authorized by the Guardians. Most of us know Hal Jordan as the first Green Lantern, but in this issue of comics, the first ever Green Lantern was Alan Scott. The Green Lantern first appeared in The All American Comics #4 in the year 1940. “In the blackest day in the darkest night, no evil shall escape my sight, for those who worship evil’s might, beware my power, Green Lantern’s light.” You might recognize this oath from the movie Green Lantern released in the year 2011, but this oath goes way back than that.
