=__**Batman**__= Batman is a comic book superhero that was co-created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939. He is also known as “the Caped Crusader”, “the Dark Knight”, “the World’s Greatest Detective” or simply “the Bat”. The character was incepted by Detective Comics, the creator of the popular Superman. Batman does not have any superpowers; rather he makes use of his intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess and intimidation to fight his war of crime. Soon after his introduction, Batman became a popular character and also gained his own comic book, titled “Batman”. With time, ‘Robin’ also came into being.
 * Basic Background**

1. **Has good on his side-** Batman was known as "the Worlds Greatest Detective". All though he had no superpowers, he used his own scientific knowledge, detective skills, and athletic prowess to be known as a crime fighter. He fights many villains such as The Joker, The Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman. Batman has been repeatedly described as one of the greatest martial artists in the DC Universe, having either trained with or fought against the very best. He is the one who kept Gotham City under control stopping crime.

2. **Is smarter than everyone else, generally; is a problem-solver-** Batman has at least a masters degree, if not a doctorate level education in forensics pathology and criminology, as well as chemistry and engineering. Being refered to as "the Worlds Greatest Detective," the comics indicate that he got this way through sheer determination, as well as a wise use of his time and resources. He has trained himself to be analyitcal to an almost obsessive degree, and occassionally shows extremely obsessive compulsive tendancies, as well as paranoia. In all of his battles, Batman outsmarts his opponent defeating them. While fighting other crime he becomes a problem-solver and majes Gotham City a better place.

3. **Is a natural leader of others-** Even though batman is a man of disguise he is 100 % human. He has no super natural powers which makes him just like everybody else. He is a leader to Gotham City because he helps stop crime and other bad thngs. The people of the city look up to him to lead the city and protect them.

=**__Themis__**= Themis was the Titan goddess of divine law and order which is the traditional rules of conduct first established by the gods. She was also a prophetic goddess who presided over the most ancient oracles, including Delphoi. In this role, she was the divine voice who first instructed mankind in the primal laws of justice and morality, such as the precepts of piety, the rules of hospitality, good governance, conduct of assembly, and pious offerings to the gods. In Greek, the word //themis// referred to divine law, those rules of conduct long established by custom. She was married to Zeus and was his first counselor.
 * Basic Background**

1. **Has good on her side-** Themis is described as "of good counsil" and is the embodiment of divine order, law, and custom. She was worshipped as a goodess in Athens

2. **Is smarter than everyone else, generally; is a problem-solver-** Themis is a gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods with little of the idea of right. Some classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded because of her talent for prophecy nor was she holding a sword

3. **Is a natural leader of others-** Since Themis was the goddess of law and order, that made her a leader of others. Also being married to Zeus she was represented seated beside his throne advising him on the precepts. To the ancient Greeks she was originally the organizer of the "communal affairs of humans, particularly assemblies" which also made her seem like a leader to the Greeks.
