=== Subjective tropes for the film. ===
 
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - The score is by [[Hans Zimmer]] and [[Lisa Gerrard]]. Do the math.
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Win the Crowd]]: The [[Trope Namer]], and the first battle likely did just that for the audience.

=== Subjective tropes for the novel. ===
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: It's an [[Unbuilt Trope]], sure, but after [[Superman]] enters the picture in 1938 Danner looks nothing but weak and cowardly in comparison. Clark Kent could use his powers only discreetly like Danner does, but instead he decides that the right thing to do is to devote his existence to helping those in need, regardless of what people thought, or even if the law stood in his way. THAT is ''[[Just Like Robin Hood|heroic]]''. Here's why the title is brilliant though. Clark Kent is a Superman because he fights for others, but just like the titular warriors of the more famous film, Hugo Danner is a Gladiator: he fights for survival. It just happens not to be physical survival.
