Neil deGrasse Tyson Talks The Difference Between Batman & Superman
I think it's fair to say the biggest surprise of the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was the fact People's 2000 Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive, Neil deGrasse Tyson, was one of the voice overs in the trailer. He talks with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show about Batman and Superman. Click to check it out.
I think it's fair to say it was quite a bit of a surprise that astrophysicist, cosmologist, host of StarTalk, and People's 2000 Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive Neil deGrasse Tyson is in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. In the trailer, he was one of the voice overs in the beginning debate whether or not we should trust Superman or not. Talking with Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, deGrasse Tyson talks about a key difference between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight. Neil's comments begin at the 3:40 part.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: Who does Batman (Ben Affleck) report to?
Jon Stewart: Commissioner Gordon.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: Yeah, the Commissioner and ultimately, the Mayor.
Jon Stewart: Yeah.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: Who does Superman (Henry Cavill) report to?
Jon Stewart: The guy in the ice castle.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: Yeah, so nobody we know. Nobody we have any insight into. He just behaves in any way he wants. And so at the end of the day, what might matter is the public reception of the superhero's conduct. And if Batman executes our wishes in the city, and Superman does whatever the hell he wants: that's a conflict.
So based on Neil's opinion, do you agree with Neil's point? Should Superman take a step back and report to someone? Comment below, let me know. Peace and remember...
