Batman As An Anti Hero

Heroes have the tendency to fight crime or serve the public without having to have a personal reason, this is not the case for Batman. Batman regularly, if not constantly, fights crime for his own benefit. While Batman was still Bruce Wayne, his parents were killed by a soon to be supervillain, this caused him to have an alternative motive to become a “hero.” Even if he does not directly advance on his parent’s murder, he still attacks ever villain that he thinks did him an injustice. “He smashes any and everything in his way while pursuing his ends,” (Wilson). While Batman smashes through his own intentions, Captain America fights crimes/serves the city for the people not for his own benefit. Batman might seem to be doing what a hero is supposed to do, but he is merely trying to avenge his parents death. “ Police are perplexed, worried the group will turn into vigilantes and doubt that the superhero policy is ever stopped any crime,” (source A). This is the same with Batman; the police do not know what to fashion of him, but are worried that he will insert himself in trouble. Batman might seem to be doing activities for others, still he does them for himself.

The air smelled sharply of chemicals, and smoke. You can hear sirens from the GCPD cars. The sound blaring from being so close to them was reading to the point when I heard my being called I missed it.

In a very highly tense and stressful situation, people tend to go as far as they can to avoid the situation at all costs. There are only a handful of people who run towards the problem to solve it in hopes to save someone’s life. These people are risking their own lives to save someone in need of aid, all without any money, fame, or endorsements in the future. In today’s society the concept of heroism can make a huge impact on a person’s or society’s view. Heroes help teach us what is right from wrong and constantly role-modeling the concept of persistency such as the very popular superhero Batman. He is persistently fighting crime in Gotham City, and will not stop until the criminals are put to justice. Even though his actions are more violent

Batman sees the destruction of Superman and Zod who happened to have the same powers as Superman because they were from the same planet, Krypton. Then Superman acknowledges that Batman has a brutal kind of justice and wants to get him through his work at the news network, Daily Planet. I also found connections to their progressions in the film. Bruce starts off wanting to kill Clark, and along the way he finds Wonder Woman, according to the end of the movie, Bruce realizes that Superman is good for humanity because he sacrificed his life by killing the mutant. In turn, Superman comes to Batman’s aid because he saved his mother from Lex Luther. Both characters have arisen to be friends, and understand that they both need each other. Extra elements from the journey is the fact that the object that was almost used to kill Clark by Bruce’s hand is the object found by Lois to destroy the mutant and sadly Superman. Through this scene we recognize that there are two katabasis’, one is the fight scene where Superman is almost killed by the bat, and the other is when they both fight the mutant together.

At the end of Bruce’s stay at the temple he is required to execute a criminal and then lead a group of men against the people of Gotham, his home city. He is told Gotham is beyond saving and must be destroyed for it had become a breeding ground for criminals. He disagrees and deserts the league of shadows, destroying their temple in the process. Bruce is able to save Henri before he falls of a cliff and brings him to a mountain village to heal. He then returns home to Gotham determined to fight crime and save the city. That section concludes that threshold crossing and reinforces his mental change with an environmental one. Although the main

In the Well that he Fell He also had found a Cave which shortly after that he was ask to come back up by his father. So in a normal day in his life as he was studying, A bat flew through his windows as he was terrified of it , Him using his own fear against himself he had decided to dress as a Bat, which he chose the name Batman when he was older. As Bruce Wayne was in his 20's, Gotham city was going into darkness. Bruce Wayne Turned himself into batman swearing to protect the city from crime. He Needed help so as he is an Billionaire, He went to get some help from Luscious fox who worked in the company supplied Bruce wayne with everything he had needed from Armour to Transportation. Batmans New armour is a mecha suit which is equipped with strength augmenting armour and

While Batman is a hero who fights to save his land, also known as Gotham City, there is a value in what he does that is much different than the chivalry of the Anglo Saxons. That value is that everybody does their part. Batman is doing his part in the city by helping clear crime. Modern culture strongly values that and I argue that Batman portrays it.

Gotham City is one of the most well-known cities to DC comic book readers and to any super hero enthusiast. It is the home of the eminent millionaire Bruce Wayne, otherwise known as his alter ego the Batman. His mission is to rid the many criminals that preside over Gotham and to bring these tyrants to justice. As he says in the Dark Knight film, “I’m going to show the people of Gotham that the city doesn’t belong to the criminals and the corrupt.” In one scene, Wayne speaks to a woman and she asks him how anyone could possibly want to raise children in this horrid city; he responds that he grew up in Gotham and he turned out alright.

The artistic representation of the Batman myth is an important cultural artifact of our time because it represents modern society's thirst for heroic ideals in popular entertainment. Since his creation, readers and viewers have admired Batman's unique ability to battle villainy, transcend the law and administer justice. As cultivators of the noir genre in film as well as in literature, Americans have always identified with this enigmatic hero, who exists on the margins of society and yet represents one of the largest corporations in the world. The evolution of Batman in particular and the superhero genre in general (from comic book to television to film and back again) has seen in the latest adaptation from Christopher Nolan's Batman revamp a veritable tilting point for the character once known as the World's Greatest Detective. This paper will analyze why Batman is an important cultural artifact of our day, how he came into being, what he means for society, and how he will be treated in the future.

When James Gatz was young, he met Dan Cody who took him under his wing and led him on a strive to achieve great wealth. When Gatz sees his inheritance is not enough to achieve the idolized millionaire status, he continues to work hard by illegally selling alcohol in various “drug stores” under Wolfsheim (Fitzgerald 141).This self-redeeming trait is reflected in Wayne’s path in order to become the Gotham vigilante. Unlike Gatz, Wayne used the millions inherited from his parents to create Batman’s apparatus, butbut similar to Gatz, was not born as powerful as he wanted to be. Bruce Wayne was merely born as vigilante and was essentially a superhero outsider. Without being born with or developing the supernatural abilities of the traditional superhero, he begins to travel the Eastern Hemisphere learning strength and precision from his mentors Henri Ducard and Ra’s Al Ghul in order to confront the injustice in Gotham. (Batman Begins, 2005). In order to become greater, these characters became determined to rebuild themselves. They searched for guidance from their mentors in order to become the secret identities they yearned to be. Bruce Wayne uses his technology, brute strength, and passion to fight injustice and becomes one of the greatest crimefighter of Gotham City, similar to how the wealth earned by Gatz’s perseverance and diligence allowed him to become one of the most

Since Batman first appeared in the DC comic universe in May 1939 he has become one of the most beloved fictional characters. This popularity has led to movies, tv shows, video games and countless forms of memorabilia being produced so fans could get their fair share of the caped crusader. Batman is one of the world’s most popular anti-hero franchises because many of the stories are relatable, the villains are memorable and Bruce Wayne has an intriguing back story.

Hands on your hips, chest puffed up, the wind blowing into your cape. BANG! BOOM! POW! Down goes a villain and up comes a new hero, a superhero. Superheroes represent light; they give hope to people and let them know that whenever there is bad, good comes to counteract it. Superheroes are people who may not fit in, or may come from hard backgrounds, but rise to the occasion to change and help others when it counts. It does not matter how one might look or what gender one may be, but the amount of effort and courage one puts into his/her work distinguishes them from the others. Superheroes teach the world how to bounce back after tragic events, how to believe in oneself, and how to get confidence. Superheroes have become very important in American

For decades, I have been obsessed with Batman. There I said it! In the ’60’s I watched everyday, at the same Bat time on the same Bat channel the Caped Crusader [Adam West] give The Joker and other villains their due justice.

Batman is one of the many fictional superheroes which appears in the “American comic books” that is published by the DC comics. The character is a secret identity for Bruce Wayne, the only heir to Wayne Enterprises. Bruce Wayne swore an oath of vengeance when he witnessed the death of his parents;Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne (Diamond, 2015). Bat man combats criminals in Gotham: a fictional city, with assistance from various characters, for example, his butler Alfred and Gordon; Gotham city police commissioner. Unlike many of the superheroes characters, Batman possesses no powers .Bruce Wayne trained himself intellectually and physically .it is from dedication to training he possessed the useful traits of physical prowess, martial arts skills, detective skills and indomitable will to fight for justice. Though his motive is to combat crime and protect people of Gotham city from criminals, the justice system in most of the times views Batman as a villain and vigilante. He can inflict fear to Gotham city criminals thereby bringing calmness to the city. I identify myself with the Batman character through his selfless will for justice, his strong determination to do good

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
