BATMAN: the origin of justice

  • 2019

The revelation is as old as conscious humanity and that knowledge that we appropriate, that we give meaning, is imprinted in our minds. The extended Universe of DC comics presents us with an elohist-type mythology that we can notice in the names of their heroes Yorel and Kalel. The beginning of humanity does not trace it back to the genes of Isis but to the stem cells, as they will notice in three mother boxes similar to a tesseract, making a wink or the ark of the covenant.

Batman vs. Superman: The Origin of Justice is a 2016 American superhero movie based on the Batman and Superman characters from DC Comics, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. In this article I will explain how the two characters are based on Biblical Cain and Abel, since in the same movie they show that Clark Kent belongs to a family of gatherers, while Bruce Wayne to one of hunters, referring to Cain and Abel respectively.

THE ORIGIN: Cain and Abel.

According to the Urantia book, Cain was the son of Eve with Cano, while Abel was the legitimate son of Adam and Eve. Less than two years after Cain was born, Abel was born, the first son of Adam and Eve who was born in the second garden. When Abel was twelve years old, he chose to be a pastor; Cain had chosen agriculture.

Now, in those days it was customary to make offerings to the priesthood of what was available. The shepherds gave of their flocks, the laborers, of the fruits of the fields; According to this custom, Cain and Abel also made periodic offerings to the priests. Many times the two youngsters had disputed about the relative merits of their vocations, and Abel soon noticed that he expressed a preference for his animal sacrifices. In vain Cain resorted to the traditions of the first Eden, the old preference for the fruits of the fields. But this, Abel did not allow, and made fun of his frustrated older brother.

The two young men never got along, and this issue of sacrifices contributed more to the growing hatred they had. Abel knew that he was the son of Adam as well as Eve and never failed to emphasize to Cain that Adam was not his father. Cain was not of pure violet strain since his father was of the Nodite race that had later mixed with the blue and red man and the aboriginal Andean strain. All of the above, added to the natural bellicose heritage of Cain, caused him to harbor a hatred towards his younger brother, which steadily increased.

The boys were eighteen and twenty years old respectively when the tension between them was finally resolved; one day, Abel's mocks angered his bellicose brother to such an extent that Cain, overwhelmed by his anger, killed him.

According to the biblical account, these brothers presented their sacrifices to God on their respective altars; seeing them, God preferred Abel's offering (the firstfruits and the fat of his sheep) to that of Cain (gifts of the fruits of the field), who went mad with jealousy and killed his brother.

THE HEROES: Batman and Superman.

Bruce Wayne is a billionaire businessman and philanthropist who owns Wayne Companies in Gothic City. After witnessing the murder of his parents, Dr. Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne in a violent and failed assault as a child, he swore revenge against the criminals, an oath moderated by the sense of justice. Bruce Wayne trains physically and intellectually and creates a suit inspired by bats to fight crime, with his combat tools and vehicles.

However, the same inhabitants of the city see him as an irresponsible and superficial playboy who lives on his family's personal fortune (accumulated from the investments made in Gothic real estate just before the city became a large metropolis ) And the earnings of Wayne Industries, a private technology firm that he inherited. Despite this, Wayne is also known for his charitable contributions, especially through his foundation.The reason why Bruce created a playboy image is to avoid suspicions about his true identity, sometimes behaving awkwardly and self-centeredly .

Clark Kent is a child who accidentally arrived in the town of Villachica, Kansas, during the years before he became Superman.

The original Superman story tells that he was born with the name of Kal-El on the planet Krypton; his father, the scientist Jor-El, and his mother Lara Lor-Van, sent him in a spacecraft bound for Earth when he was a child, just before the destruction of his planet. He was discovered and adopted by Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent, a couple of farmers from Smallville, Kansas, who raised him under the name of Clark Kent and instilled a strict moral code. Young Kent began to show superhuman abilities, the same ones that upon reaching maturity he would decide to use for the benefit of mankind.

In the movie it would be Batman who would kill Superman, thus representing Ca n, if it had not happened that Marta’s name unites them both, but the roles apparently are n inverted

THE JUSTICE: Wonderful and Merciful

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by the selfless act of Superman, Bruce Wayne recruits the help of his newly found ally, Diana Prince, to confront an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand up to this new growing threat.

Diana Prince is a young warrior, daughter of Hip lita, raised as a warrior princess of the Amazons on an island called Themiscyra where she is protected and trained to be an invincible fighter.

Divine justice is always tempered by mercy. Infinite wisdom is the eternal arbiter that determines the proportions of justice and mercy that will be shared in any given circumstance. Mercy is simply justice tempered by that wisdom that comes from the perfection of knowledge and from the full recognition of the natural weakness and environmental limitations of finite creatures.

Mercy is the natural and inevitable offspring of goodness and love. Eternal justice and divine mercy together constitute what in human experience would be called equity.

The Justice League emerged after the events of Batman v Superman. Tell how Bruce Wayne recruits a team of metahumans to save the planet from catastrophic threat. Thousands of years ago, in ancient times, Steppenwolf, an intergalactic conqueror and his army of parademons, creatures fed by fear and transformed from fallen beings at the mercy of Steppenwolf, attempted to conquer and rebuild the Earth through the combined energies of the Mother Boxes, a box-shaped power, divided into 3 parts, capable of destroying and recreating worlds, before their plans were thwarted by a unified army that included the Amazons, Atlantis, Lanterns, gods and humans. After repelling and defeating the army of Steppenwolf who swears a return to Earth, the Mother Boxes were separated and hidden in places around the world. A mother box was in the hands of the Atlantis, in Atlantis, another in the hands of the Amazons of Temiscira and the other box passed to the humans, who made sure to hide it from the sight of anyone who wanted to use their power.

Currently the three boxes or Coffers of the Alliance are located in area 51 in the United States, the second in the Vlodivostok base of Russia, and the third held by the Taygeteanas.
