Batman/Superman Analogous Archetypes

[silentflute]

"The reason Batman has always appealed to me more than Superman, (as they are both but archetypes outlining the broad truth of the we ourselves) is because Batman was more human and dark. Superman is the us we'd like the other world members to see us as, our image, whereas Batman is our truth; all conflict and brooding rage. He is more complex thus more engaging and interesting. Superman is another of our archetypes representing our understanding of the Christ energy. Batman seems to evoke the resurrection and redemption of Lucifer come back to good form, processing through his karmic issues as he continues on with the work that must be done. It requires Superhuman efforts these days to remind us of the super-powers within our own consciousness. Dark is the raw data of light waiting to be used and transformed. Superman of Steel took to the air, while Batman was grounded and had to use all of his wits in the fields of stone to carry out his sacrifices. Besides, would you rather spend your last night in the boudoir of the virginal and chaste Lois Lane or the sexy and eternal dominatrix Cat woman?" - Sanada Maitreya AKA the Artist Formerly Known as Terence Trent D'Arby
