Barry was just a normal guy that got struck by lightning...The only difference between Barry and Peter are their ages tbh so nothing much to say here

Bruce on the other hand is an emotional wreck but is still struggling to be the one shining light in a place filled with darkness,most times he is forced to embrace that darkness and that's why he uses fear as a tool..if you have had the opportunity to work in a place where pressure is on you to be corrupt you will understand

Diana is a Goddess that had to leave her comfort zone just to help people...doctors that volunteer for war zones and red cross face this everyday

Clark Kent is an alien from another planet struggling to fit in while also hiding his true identity from the world,he could easily sneeze mistakingly and kill someone...does this even need more elaborating?
bros, these are cb plotlines u are dishing out. Okay, how many times has the cb made us feel barry allen is still that n0rmal guy going through n0rmal problems regular guys like us feel? U still haven't answered my Q. How do u pers0nally relate to allen, diana and bruce or clark?

I can literally list 10 times off the top of my head where batman has shown emotions in the comics...his whole life is a by product of emotional trauma...anybody saying that batman doesn't show emotions is ignorant simple
aside anger, what em0ti0n has c0mics batman being allowed to portray? Dude is even em0ti0nally distant when put in a relati0nship. I remember saying it here prior, i told u guys it was strange seeing batman dating, and stuff like batman doesn't need a love interest. It's that thing the c0mics has led me to have abt batman.

minemrys was saying blatantly that DC characters are not relatable..he name dropped Barry, Bruce and Diana...WRONG!!

AfricanGalactus ABI galactic on the other hand is saying marvel did it first hence implying that some DC characters like Batman and superman and flash were changed over time...also WRONG!!
n0w, b4 we use words, we need to be sure as to the c0ntext we are using it. And, i never said DC characterz in a plural sense or in a collective sense. I said the Dc big guns and i went to list such characterz. I also during my argument menti0n a few Dc characterz like green arrow who were actually relatable. So, bro. Check the c0ntext of the statement b4 u c0me up with a narrative. B4 n0lan's film, i've never found batman relatable and that's becos of the c0mics. As in batman is t0o g0od that u never feel a sense of danger or stakes against him. The writerz present him as to0 perfect. Yea, he has anger issues, yes, his parents were killed. But they never show us the c0nsequences to his acti0ns atimes. They never make batman deal with n0rmal human shites like tax, cops poking n0se into his issue or that kinda thing. But that's being t0ned down n0w as m0re intelligent writerz enter the fold. Then again, that doesn't change the fact that, batman has been t0o hyped and over powered that i can't c0me off the thought that it's weird to see batman smile or attempt to do s0mething funny out of the blue. Example, when batman showed he was happy to see clark alive and as superman in Jl, people were like, batman's never happy. And i was like, if he was expressi0nless, how then would we relate to him? In the Tdk trilogy, we saw batman be genuinely afraid, doubt, be em0ti0nal, that's what makes a character relatable and feel real to the audience.
TV/MoviesRe: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 2:02pm On Nov 20, 2019
AfricaGalactic:
Ask him to define "relatable". Ultimately, i think what is going on here is either
1. He doesn't know the meaning of "relatable".
OR
2. We have different ideas of the word "relatable".
OR
3. He's conflating character traits and plot points with relatability. Which makes no sense.

My guess is either 2 or 3.
i believe, relatability has to do with going thr0ugh a literary or artistic work and creating a mental picture of it; in this case, actually see a character as an actual being than just an entertainment, propagandist i.e capt america, and plot device i.e the wayne murder. As in, when u read a b0ok, u see an actual face. For example, chike and the river or things fall apart or purple hibiscus. When we read these b0oks we can actually imagine being Chike or imagine a cousin of ours being Kambili or that Uncle of ours who is Ok0nkwo. Watching Sam Raimi's spiderman and even the amazing spiderman, i can see aspects of myself in Peter Parker. And i could see a friend of mine as Harry Osborn. I believe that's what relatability is. That mental picture that's so real. As in, you haven't been to a war before but when s0me0ne who has, describes it to u, it kinda bec0mes real. L0ok at the black lightning show, am n0t a father or a principal or anything but i can relate to Jeffers0n pierce. It's that c0nnecti0n u kn0w? It's n0t abt having ur parents shot in an alley that u could relate to batman or being an alien to relate to superman. Chris N0lan really made batman relatable if n0t i've never been a fan of batman. And so did smallville. They made clark kent relatable in that show.
TV/MoviesRe: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 12:53pm On Nov 20, 2019
pu7pl3:
The topic of relatability stems from how the characters behave Asin their characteristics and traits that make them seem relatable and inspiring to readers...
Now you said the DC characters were evolved so as to become relatable hence implying that they weren't before and that is WRONG!!! The way batman behaved in 1938 is the same way he behaved in 1985 and 2005 till now and it's the same for other heroes too(apart from the ones they changed entirely like blue beetle for example) the characters have always been the same and have always been relatable and inspiring and that's how they gained their "icon" status
let me ask a questi0n, you kn0w that m0ment when u read a n0vel, then a character is presented, and when u keep reading, u form a mental picture of that character fr0m s0me0ne you've met or kn0wn?

Blackspider:
Are you kidding me, you think DC characters has no flaws, how many times have they shown that batman has anger issues or should they write it during the intro of all his movies? How many animated movies have you seen batman back and Alfred telling him to go easy on himself. Just because he doesn't cry because of his many wound doesn't make him unrelatable. Or the fact that he is rich and a control freak that planted tracking chip in his robins, so you can't paint a mental picture of a rich man doing so?

Superman flaws, his do good attitude that many including lex luthor takes advantage of is not relatable to most people you know? Because I know people that wants to do just by every one taken for a fool.

Flash flaws, basically his speed, he thinks he has all the time that (he doesn't wait and think) and plan his strategy.

Most DC character flaws are their major strength, just because you don't see that aspect doesn't mean it isn't there.
TV/MoviesRe: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 8:35pm On Nov 19, 2019
Blackspider:
I wasn't expecting you to find Barry Allen relatable to be honest, but millions whom had lost their mothers to accidents when they were Young finds him relatable. Just like I don't expect you to find Bruce Wayne relatable because none of their tragedies ad affected you which is good news.
nah. U still d0n't get it. It's n0t just abt their tragedies. It's abt having a flaw, having that pers0nality trait. These characterz were presented without flaws. Batman does all he does and there aint an issue where we see him feeling the effects? And his no c0mpr0mise stand on justice in a c0rrupt city? How possible is that? These characterz should have a flaw. S0mething they are n0t that g0od at that influences their pers0nality. Ir0n man for instance is all rich, genius and all, but he's never really c0ntentd, a drunk, arrogant, alm0st everything you'd see in rich folks. To me, Dc really tried with the green arrow character. The dude startd out rich, fighting social injustice, became mayor, lost his wealth, bad mannered, a w0maniser etc. He isn't portrayed as all g0od. He even has a political viewpoint. As in, you can form a mental picture of s0me0ne and imagine them as oliver queen. I can't do that with clark kent, diana, bruce wayne or barry allen.

The usual suspects....I modified my first question btw

But how are these guys more relatable than superman or batman or flash? Please elaborate
seriously? I could spend all day elaborating but c0me on, am n0t going to pr0m0te marvel on here. Just tell me how u find superman or flash or batman relatable to you. Do u see a bit part of yourself in them? Pers0nally, i can't. Cos these guys are presentd as do gooders, they've got no human flaws, they're superhuman in every way. Batman beats every0ne. Cos he's batman. C0me on? But who can't relate with a guy who grew up in an abusive h0me, developd hot rage while repressing it then gets into a freak accident only to burst up at the slightest provocati0n cos he can no l0nger c0ntrol his rage. Who can't relate with that? Or a p0or girl living on the streets of africa, c0mes into the U. S and is treatd like s0me cancer cos of the abilities she possesses? Or a man who after serving in warz, returns h0me paraplegic and actually wants to make sure there are no m0re wars by trying to bring together people of opposing views and trying to develop youngsterz who society fear and have aband0ned? These characterz portray that pers0nality that makes them reachable and identifiable to a real pers0n.

Blackspider:
That analysis is completely flawed. Both comic book has character that are unrelatable. There are many DC characters that are more relatable than marvel like;
Black lightening - Racism,
Flash - Loss,
Mr terrific - Loss,
Raven - Pains and burden,
Wonder woman - Choice,
Cyborg - Isolation,
Batman - Trauma
Green arrow - Loss

Coupled with the facts that we have the most relatable villains
me, i am talking abt the c0mic b0oks and how the characterz have been written in them. Yea, s0me characterz are relatable for dc but the largely kn0wn 0nes aren't in the traditi0nal sense. And there are marvel characterz that are unrelatable but largely many marvel characterz are relatable. I find it hard relating to barry allen h0nestly. The character i find m0st relatable is wally west.
TV/MoviesRe: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 5:21pm On Nov 19, 2019
AfricaGalactic:
Unrelatable =/= uninspiring. What you have is a non-sequitur fallacy.

You know the old saying that "DC characters are gods trying to be people, and Marvel characters are people trying to be gods", right?

I always liken DC heroes to Greek pantheon: God-like in sheer powers and abilities, perfect, beautiful etc. Even a human like Batman is deified because of his pitch perfect attributes. Marvel heroes on the other hand are losers. They're flawed. Even with their powers, they seem like the underdogs. They are essentially "people". That has always been their characterization since 1961.

All this doesn't mean we can't be "inspired" by DC heroes. Both Marvel and DC inspire. EOD
thekingishere uninspiring and unrelatable are 2 different beasts. U relate to s0mething if u can see yourself as that thing. But u can be inspired say by the thought of that thing to do s0mething else. Who can see himself in superman or batman? I can't. But i am inspired by superman's optimism and batman's sense of justice. Then again, i see myself, though little aspects in peter parker. I can relate to peter parker, but i can't relate to superman. But btw the two, i get inspired to be optimistic when i remember a superman quote.

Also, Dwane Johnson jumps from one project to another, that doesn't mean another person would be able to do so.

If it was so easy, then tell us why Will Smith didn't jump between movies to cast in SS2?
