This is one of the most inspirational documentaries I have ever watched. The documentary is, at its heart, about the inspirational power of stories. The fact that they used the Batman character as their focus brings the power of stories into modern understanding. Although I feel they may have put a little too much focus on Batman as the driving Idea it is not really about Batman the actual character. As much as it is about the amazing people and their personal stories. The stories in this film are inspirational and amazing. The people that this movie is about either use the Batman character as an example to overcome a great struggle in their lives or as an example to live up to while trying to help as many people as they can with no thought
“Somewhere, a Long, Happy Life Probably Awaits You” (Jill Sexsmith) and “Batman and Robin Have an Altercation” (Stephen King) both share a common trait between each of the two stories that revolve around a mentally ill family member. The two stories each follow in accordance with Tzvetan Todorov’s Theory of Narrative. They each begin with an equilibrium and after a disruption, they fall into an offset of the balance of the story. The characters then recognize the problem and take action to restore the initial balance that had previously existed. In “Somewhere,”, theory of narrative is portrayed through a man and his mentally ill wife. The author uses two stories, one about the man’s wife and another about the tree on their front lawn that coincide to develop a path that follows the Todorov’s theory. Batman follows the story of a man and his father who has Alzheimer’s disease. This short story follows a day with the man’s father to convey Todorov’s theory.
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
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.

An epic is a long narrative poem that tells the exploits of an epic hero. Epics are comprised of an epic hero and an epic battle between good and evil. The earliest known epic today is The Epic of Gilgamesh. This tale is about Gilgamesh’s search for eternal life. Although epics have been around for thousands of years, the epic tradition still has an enormous impact on modern writing and film. In fact, Batman, a story about Bruce Wayne trying to conquer all criminals in Gotham, can be seen as modern epic.
Many of us consider Batman the emotionless dark knight, the one who fights crime under the cover of darkness, the one superhero to uses a fear factor to play in his role. What most people don’t see is his everything good that he stands for. As a child, Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered during a mugging, right beside Bruce. Bruce was spared and the complications of that night would reach down, deep into his core lasting with him forever. Bruce uses this internal struggle as a way only to make him stronger and in that moment he instantly becomes the symbol to all of mankind as the growth of strength in the face of tragedy and despair. Throughout Batmans career, he fails on multiple occasion being beaten down mentally, emotionally, physically

Obeying Batman's direct, albeit vague orders at the same time, I form a large bubble around non-flight capable members of Young Justice, except Superboy as he is collected by Hal- Robin and Artemis. As soon as we did so, Batman directed us towards some place to the north-east. I took a position in the formation next to Wonder Woman, at the end right of the line.
Even with the drastically decreased crime rates, Batman watches over Gotham, anticipating a new threat. Just before his death, the Joker, managed to infect patients of Gotham’s hospitals with his infected blood. Even though a lot of them were cured, some of them started to look and act like the Joker. Determined to find a cure, Batman assigns Robin to watch over the
Through an analysis of both the comic and animated version of Batman: Year One, the variations in narrative structure of each type showcases the creative choices that moving image media and the comic form afford. When compared with one another, the variation in dialogue and shot structure create two different story worlds that vary in focus, with the comic book emphasizing Batman and his role in the scene and the moving image media focusing on Commissioner Gillian and the Gotham elite. Both mediums construct this focus with the use of dialogue and shot scale. The comic book, through the number of panels with Batman included in them as well as the inclusion of Batman’s internal thoughts, places emphases on Batman, while the moving image media instead places its focus on the Gotham elite,
“Jim Gordon is busy at the moment, if this is an emergency please hang up and dial 911.” The woman responded with a firm tone.
It was on a cold and dark night when Scott stein’s Wife was killed in the dark open alley by a mob crew working for the penguin. He had the chance to save her but he couldn’t. It was too dark and he could not see but only hear the screams of his wife being beaten to her last breath. This fueled his fear of the dark. Over the course of 4 months he mourned and turned his attention to becoming a vigilante. He knew he had to be more than the Batman and live by his own code. The reason his wife was killed is because Batman did not rid of them for good. Using his knowledge of light ray technology he created a super suit which its purpose is to emit an energy soaked chemical used to permanently light up any nearby surroundings and blinding anyone he focuses
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
