CONVERSATION: What makes a hero?

MANILA, Philippines – If you ask another person what a hero is, there’s a chance that their answer would be very different from yours. That’s because the heroes you look up to reflect who you are and who you one day hope to be.

On March 26, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will hit theaters nationwide. The film features two comic book icons with very different approaches to heroism. On one hand is Batman, the masked vigilante who uses all his resources in a brutal war in the shadows against crime. Then there’s Superman, the invincible alien who always attempts to do what’s right and just for the good of humanity.

With just a few days to go until their epic movie showdown, it’s time for fans to get excited and pick a side by asking the question, “What makes a hero?”

We asked netizens about the qualities they admire in their heroes and how they can be more like Batman and Superman in real-life. The conversation happened on Twitter last March 22. Read the highlights below. – Rappler.com
