Spider-Man And Batman Begins
Have you ever noticed the slight similarities between the first Spider-Man movie and Batman Begins? In those movies both Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne felt guilty after the death of their loved ones.
Peter felt guilty because not only did he refuse to stop the criminal who would murder Uncle Ben later on...But he also said something that probaby hurt Uncle Ben's feelings. In case you don't remember let me refresh your memory. "I know I'm not your father--" "Then stop pretending to be!"
Bruce felt guilty because he asked his father if they could leave the opera house after having a flashback of the swarm of bats who attacked him earlier. When Bruce and his parents left the opera house they were robbed by a common thief. The thief murdered Bruce's parents before his eyes. And Bruce blamed himself for their death.
"I thought I might prepare your supper." "..." "Very well." "Alfred! It's my fault they're dead!" "I asked them to leave the opera house! If I wasn't so afraid--" "No no you did nothing wrong do you understand?" "It was him." "I miss them Afred." "I miss them too Master Wayne."
(Sorry if I got the quote with Bruce and Alfred wrong I was going by memory again...I don't own a copy of the Batman Begins DVD yet but I will someday. I think I'll get the Deluxe Edition!)
Oh I almost forgot the line that Thomas Wayne said "Why do we fall?" "So we can learn to pick ourselves up." felt like the Batman version of the "With great power comes great responsibility." line.
