Definitely. Batman and Superman have long been featured in DC Comics, and the movie takes inspiration from those comic sources. It incorporates elements and plot points from various comic story arcs.
The Spiderman vs Superman 1978 comic is quite rare. It was published during a specific time and had a relatively small print run, making it hard to come by these days.
Batman vs Superman isn't based on just one comic. It's a theme that's been touched upon in numerous DC comics, each adding its own twist and take on the confrontation.
The key characters are Batman, Superman, and Lex Luthor. Batman is the Dark Knight from Gotham, Superman is the Man of Steel from Metropolis, and Lex Luthor is the villain who instigates their conflict.
In this story, the main plot points are complex. Firstly, the public's perception of Superman varies from seeing him as a savior to a potential danger. Batman, being a more grounded hero, views Superman's god - like powers with suspicion. Lex Luthor uses this tension. He creates situations that make it seem like Superman is a threat to humanity. He also gets his hands on Kryptonite and uses it to manipulate Batman into fighting Superman. This all leads to an epic battle between the two iconic characters, which is not just a physical fight but also a battle of ideologies, with both having different views on justice and protecting the world.
One key difference is their origin. Hercules is from Greek mythology, a demigod born from a god and a mortal. Wonder Woman is from the fictional island of Themyscira. Also, their powers are different. Hercules is mainly known for his extreme physical strength. Wonder Woman has super strength too, but also has powers like flight, and the ability to use her Lasso of Truth.
Batman vs Superman's story involves a complex web of events. There's public pressure, personal vendettas, and a looming threat that forces them to either work together or destroy each other. It's a battle of wills and powers.
