8649. Are Superheroes Still Heroes in 2024?
Moderator: Nicholas Doan

In the Golden Age of comic books, it was so simple: Superman saved the planet, Batman faced off against criminals trying to control Gotham City, the Fantastic Four fought against villains who- well, you get the picture. For the most part, heroes were heroes, and (with some exceptions, like Spider-Man) feted by the authorities and the public.

But with recent stories such as Watchmen (the graphic novel and the movie), "Hancock," and even "The Incredibles," there has entered some doubt; are these mighty, powered (or simply super-skilled) beings on our side?
