Batman Is A Hero

Heroic heroes, Batman and Gilgamesh, perform numerous brave deeds. Before Bruce becomes Batman, he receives expert training from the League of Shadows high in the mountains where he learns how to disappear, face his fears, and become more than a man. In the Iliad, Achilles has the same concept of a special weapon, his armor. In both of Batman and Gilgamesh’s’ lives, they experience a tremendously traumatic event that changes their outlook on the world and life. Batman, Bruce Wayne, watches his parents be murdered in front of his own eyes as a young child and then blames himself for their death for his entire life, until he is taught to forget the past and make the future. Gilgamesh also had someone close to him die, his best friend.

But what else defines as super hero: A strong moral code, which will include being willing to risk one’s own life in order to help someone help and expecting nothing in return. Such code can also include the refusal or strong reluctance to kill or wield weapons. Batman has never killed anyone and doesn’t use guns, he uses gadgets and stealth to subdue his enemies and then make sure they are handed over to the police force. Also a strong motivation and a sense of responsibility with a hint of some personal vendetta against criminals, like with Batman’s vendetta against the people mugged and shot his parents when they were coming out of their play they were attending. A super hero must also have a secret identity that will protect their family and friends from being the target of his enemies. Batman doesn’t have a lot of close friends but the ones he does he wants to protect from villain’s such as the Joker and the Riddler. Heroes must also have a distinctive costume in order to conceal their identity from the public. They must also have an underlying motif that resembles the heroes name, personal effects and other aspects the character has come to represent, for example Batman takes his name obviously from a Bat, operates at night designs all of his gadgets with a “bat”

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

Super heroes, are also faced with problems. They want to get rid of “bad” in the world, without making themselves use “bad” to do this. In the movie The Dark Knight, Batman faces his most notorious enemy, the Joker. In this movie, Joker wants Batman to break his “own rule” which is to not hurt people. If the Joker is able to do this, then people will look at Batman as a villain, and no longer a superhero. Before the Joker was able to carry out his plan, Batman found out his plan, and was then faced with the hardship of how could he defeat the Joker and his plan? Finally, he did something that he didn’t think as possible, he was able to hurt the Joker, but not physically. Instead, Batman chose to hurt the Joker in a way the Joker would never think of. Batman was able to the Joker’s plans instead. Batman realised that you do not need to physically hurt someone, in order to win a

Throughout the movie, Bruce Wayne continues to distance himself from society as Batman. While attending the hotel party Rachel confronts Bruce about doing more for the city. He tells her he is now a better person but doesn’t allow her to know he is Batman. Even the closest to him he chooses not to let know what he is doing for the city. Next when in the warehouse with Jim Gordon they team up together to stop Gotham from being cut off completely.

Batman is an anti representative character with some good and bad traits, I will be discussing these points and specifically Batman’s eagerness to “fight crime” no matter what gets in the way, Batman and Bruce Wayne’s impulsive ways, Bruce Wayne and his money, the history of the Batman comic strip and then lastly Batman’s good side. Along with these points I will be explaining how Bruce became Batman.

Bruce Wayne’s mentor is his butler Alfred Pennyworth. The butler has served the Wayne family for two generations, and after the murder of Batman’s parents, Pennyworth cared for Wayne. Pennyworth frequently asks Wayne, “Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up” (Nolan). Pennyworth’s words of wisdom always remind Wayne that there is always a place for him at home, and that his parents would be proud of him.

Is Batman a hero? Batman is a hero because he follows the hero cycle. The hero cycle that batman follows is easily split into 3 sections, departure, initiation, and return.

This may be due to the fact that he is trying to avenge his parents' death. During one of the episodes, there was a device that could show the deepest secret of a person and Bruce Wayne used this device. From this it was revealed that a major reason for him becoming Batman was because of the incident. Throughout many of the episodes, this theme appears many times.

Batman is more of a vigilante than a hero because he has the ability to stop crime but doesn’t. He goes about “protecting” the city

Has become docile, a zombie, and accepts to aid in the fall of Gotham. The murder of Martha and Thomas Wayne in the catalyst of creating Batman. However, there is a list of traumas behind him as well. Alfred kills off the Shaman responsible for brainwashing Bruce, an action which will impact both Alfred and Bruce.

WHY BATMAN IS THE BEST The Dark Knight of Gotham is known for his deadly tactics and his one-man war on crime. However, not many appreciate the story of his dark past. At the age of eight, Bruce Wayne witnessed the murder of his parents by a petty mugger. There was no one to save them. It was a moment of helplessness for Young Bruce, and it is hardly the image one carries when one thinks of a super hero.

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

He is the greatest super hero of all time because he is human, humble and persistent. Batman is the super hero model. Batman is the closest we, as normal day to day people, can get to being a superhero. He is remarkably human in his actions even though he is considered a super hero. He has no powers to use against bad guys but instead relies on his intelligence and expensive gear.

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
