I am a comicbook fan and have always found Superman and Captain America (who are both famous for being boyscouts/goody two shoes) to be more heroic, selfless, etc then the likes of Rama and Arjuna.

Quote:From Superman to Batman, superhero films have much to teach us about faith and humanity – as well as being terrrific visual spectacle, writes Avengers Assemble star Tom Hiddleston
Quote:In our increasingly secular society, with so many disparate gods and different faiths, superhero films present a unique canvas upon which our shared hopes, dreams and apocalyptic nightmares can be projected and played out.
