    Superman on the Couch: What Superheroes Really Tell Us about Ourselves and Our Society is a work of popular comic book criticism that explores why comic book superheroes have continued to matter so much to so many of us over the past several decades. This article is a good reference for social learning theories, particularly identification and catharsis theory.

    Ever since ancient times, humanity has sought to use stories to explain the world in which it lives. Just as ancient man used stories of gods and monsters to explain the world, modern man uses stories of godlike heroes and monstrous villains to do the same.

    A young boy sits in a psychologist's office, playing with action figures in a sand tray. There's an epic battle on the horizon, one that crosses traditional DC/Marvel lines. On one side there's Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman. On the other, there's an unpredictable fire-breathing dragon, with big eyes and sharp teeth.

    This article touches on the fact that the superhero characters are related to people within a child's life. Wonder Woman represents his mother, the fire-breathing dragon represents the troubles the child is facing, ect.

    This article is an example of Authority Theory. It is talking about how kids can use comic books and superhero movies as therapy. Since the article has a lot of quotes and examples from doctors about how it helps kids overcome their fear of monsters. They turned to superheroes to overcome those fears.

    And for those of you not keeping count, Wonder Woman still remains at 1 feature-length film, which was an animated direct-to-video movie in 2009. Now, I'm no math major, but something seems off here. Where are all the female superheroes?

    Good article focusing on the importance of having female characters, characters of color and characters of different sexualities because we are not a world of solely white, heterosexual males. This is often the stereotype in superheroes.

    This is a good article that talks about the lack of female superheroes in movies. It also touches on other groups that are not represented in this genre. Good article for a paper with the topic of gender.

    This is a very interesting article about how female superheroes are very underestimated. I think this would be a good article for anyone looking at gender. It is interesting because our data supports thus theory. Only one of the superhero movies in the data we have had a female as the superhero.

    I really enjoyed this article and it would be great for my research paper because I would like to talk about female vs. male superheros. Very good article.

    Marilyn Dahl (University of British Columbia) It is a commonly held theory that one cannot legislate attitude change. One can legislate behavioural change and hopefully changes in attitude will follow. Attitudes, beliefs, and misconceptions of society constitute a major barrier for people with disabilities.

    I think that this is easily an example of cultivation theory because it fits with the idea that the more that society spends living in the television world, the more that they try to relate to it. I think that the more that you watch superhero movies, you get this idea in your idea that they have to play out a certain way, and if they were to go against these "golden rules" would the movie still be successful?
