Childhood
Bruce Wayne or Batman has a very interesting and tragic childhood. When Bruce was 8 years old, he witnessed die parents die from a man in a back alley. Bruce decided that he would become the defender of crime after that horrifying moment. Bruce Wayne grew up in Wayne Manor estate with the help of his butler, Alfred Pennyworth.

One enemy of Batman is Joker. The joker has no obvious powers and killed the second robin and Jason Todd. He also paralyzed Batgirl and Barbara Gordon. Another enemy of Batman is Two Face. Two Face was originally one of batman's best friends but, he started to commit crimes. One half of his face is scarred and the other half of his face is handsome.When he has to make a decision he flips a coin to decide whether to make the best decision or make the bad decision. Although Batman has a lot of enemies he also has some allies.
Allies
Batman has allies to help him fight crime. One of his allies is Dick Grayson or Robin. Batman saw Dick Grayson’s parents get murdered and Dick wanted justice for his parents. Batman adopted Grayson and he became his sidekick, Robin. Robin had intense training for several months and he was finally ready to help Batman. Robin’s first mission goes terribly wrong and Batman decides to not take him again until he proves himself. Robin works with other young sidekicks. Another ally he has is his butler Alfred Pennyworth. Alfred was trained by the British army and has had superpowers in the past. Alfred also has beat up superman and has been kidnapped multiple times. He has worn the batsuit multiple times and also is the only member of the bat family to use firearms. These are only some of Batman’s
Batman is a depiction of hope. Batman was the answer to a lot of people’s problems in a place where nobody felt safe like they should in their home. He was like the rain after a long, dry spell for
In addition to this, another downfall is the loss of childhood sweetheart, Rachel Dawes by Two-Face. She was the only one outside Bruce Wayne’s inner circle that knew who he truly was, and how he felt about his way and life. As a result of her death, not only does he want revenge on Two-Face, but he tries to compensate for the void that was created by her loss. He does this by starting many failed relationships that turned sour such as those with Poison Ivy and Catwoman, to name a few. These are illustrative of the pessimistic demeanor that Batman has towards the outside because of what he has seen firsthand, and how he reacted to it.
Batman originally began as a DC Comics' detective a superhero quite different from the one envisioned by Nolan and company today. Batman was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939 for Detective Comics, and for more than two decades it depicted a hero defined by his mystery-solving techniques and cast of quirky characters against whom his braininess and eccentric costume could be balanced (along with his knack for solving crimes). Needless to
Many of us have grown up watching cartoons throughout our childhood. Of the many cartoons on television is Batman. This cartoon has been on television for many years. It is a story of a man who is a successful businessman during the day and a mysterious superhero by night. Bruce Wayne is the man who is this mysterious man with the two identities. He is both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Only a selected few know both of his identities. Many of us have grown up thinking that he is a great man and a great superhero. Yet, why is it that we do not question how unusual the whole situation is? If we take a closer look, we can find that he is a disturbed man who may
At the beginning of the movie we are introduced to the Joker who is set on creating mayhem and villainy for the sheer sport of it. All he wants is to bring the world down to his level and make them see through his eyes and thus understand that all men are inherently evil.He is antisocial in all ways, but seems to have more realism than anyone else. He robs a bank that is owned by Gotham’s gangs and by doing so makes himself a target for them. Batman is left puzzled by this a strained villain who seems to pose no real threat, except that he needs to be caught. Through the movie Joker is seemly one-step ahead of Batman until the District Attorney, Harvey Dent, realizes that The Joker is a mad genius and needs to be sought after.
Another way in which Batman displays himself as a Byronic hero is his function as a subversive character which refuses to submit to demonic forces. He tries to appear to be a man who is morally upright. However, Batman is unable to separate himself from the pain of his parents ' untimely death, which gives him a new identity as a mysterious masked crime fighter. In most books and films, he tries to put this tragic incident behind him without much success. As Peter J. Tomasi indicates, “instead we see a presentation of Batman’s powers by exacting strange acts in the name of justice like teleporting hotheaded” (1).
Batman has been a favored DC Comic super hero for many years. The storyline depicts Batman as the superhero and his arch rival as the “Joker.” The two legendary characters represent the fight against good and evil. Batgirl and Robin are two important characters that aid in the help of fighting crime with Batman. Batgirl is cast off due to a lethal attack from the Joker.
For Batman, it is the joker, who, as a wicked teenager, was the mugger-murderer of his parents. Many spectacular battles have ensured for both crime fighters, and one has reached the top in his profession. Superman offers overwhelming physical strength against crime, but Batman display cunning and base passion. As he strikes fear in the hearts of the wicked, he's not just winning; he is getting even. Most people would cheer Superman on. However, they would identify more with Batman, and he is the
Batman’s violent actions in Frank’s Miller comic book demonstrated the darkness of his heroic personality. After ten year retirement, Batman became more troubled to Gotham City turning to a crime-ridden and a fugitive. According to Joseph Campbell words “everything begins with a story”. The beginning of Batman’s story started after the death of his parents. They were shot by some criminals because they were going to steal and hurt them. Having to experienced this horrible scene on his childhood, traumatized Batman
Though Batman tries to be portrayed as a hero, he is only a vigilante since he helps the law, but is not a part of it. This means that he fights crime, but is not a member of the police force or other civil duties that
As we all know, he is “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” He also has x-ray vision and supersonic lungs. The amazing alien can inhale and exhale with enough force to extinguish a forest fire or move heavy objects out of his way. Batman has none of these gifts. Instead, the Caped Crusader depends on his super-human intelligence and awesome gadgetry. Criminals beware. His batcave is filled with advanced crime-fighting equipment of his own design. Just a few of many are the bat-rope that he uses to climb tall buildings and the Batcopter, which is tricked out with Bat-pontoons for water
The majestic bird tainted with evil, and the bat that saved Gotham City. Batman is a symbol of resilience. He symbolizes are capacity as humans to excel. Most superheroes rely on their superhuman abilities to save the world. Batman has managed to save the world while in a human state.
This personality can help him to find the ways to complete whatever he thinks that it is important. For instance, Batman is catching the criminals continuously as this is what he wanted to do when he started to be Batman. Batman is a rule-oriented person. This can be good because Batman would not easy to be seduced by any person with any offer as he barely break his own rules. Hence, Batman is considered as a thoughtful person as he would think about any possible consequences before he takes any action. And yet, this may become his weakness. It is because he would be inflexible in his life whenever he is facing problems and situations. For example, a few people died because of Batman indirectly. It is because he could not fulfill the Joker’s request which he has to show his real face to the public. He suffered and almost surrender to the
