heroes through time

You can easily tell by their colours that these photographs date back to the late 60s/70s.

You couldn't get colours like this anymore, but you can surely meet these little heroes again: cow-boys, batman, superman, zorro...they all stood the test of time.

Why do boys seem so fascinated by these heroes? Is it because they're fighting for the lives of the goods? Because they pursue those about to commit a crime? Because they have guns or swords? Because they can fly? Or just because they are super?
I don't have the answer yet but will conduct an inquiry of little boys and will let you know.
