I have always been intrigued by the fact that Superman and Batman arose around the same time, and although they both approached the orphan-as-hero myth from different perspectives, both characters end up abiding by pretty much the same moral code.

I understand that was dictated in part by the social norms of the time, but even today (with a few sidesteps from official canon noted), it's still true.
