Comics vs. Their Live-Action Movies
I, personally, have never read a comic book all the way through or even half way. My brothers have never owned a comic book, but they love all things superheroes. But we all know how superheroes, and villains look in the comics. They have every single muscle bulging, every detail in their body is exaggerated, all of them outlined. Everyone is beyond fit, or even three times the size of any regular human. I get that that makes the story way more epic; it makes reading and looking at the comics way more interesting. And half the time the heroes and villains are experiments that make them gigantic.

When The Dark Knight Rises came out we all loved it. It was great, but my brother disagreed for a few reasons. One, was they were not like the comics. As in the characters were tiny compared to the comics. Bane, in the live action by Christopher Nolan, he is a pretty buff guy, more than a regular guy. But my brother said Bane in the comics was the biggest guy ever, he was HUGE. For me it was completely obvious why he was not the same size as he is in the comics. But this is still my opinion, and what was “obvious” to me. My reasoning is that it is unrealistic for them to create these movies in the same proportions that the comic books were drawn in. Humans aren’t actually made like that. But then again superheroes and villains aren’t realistic either, not ones with actual powers, experiments, and aliens.
