“Batman” She shouted
“What?”
“I finally figured it out I’m going to call you.” She said with the biggest grin on her face. “You are my dark knight so batman is the only name that fits”
From that day on everyone started calling me batman. People create nicknames based upon their own needs. Some need a new insult others need a change, a fresh start. All must encounter the same problem at some point in time. What does this nickname really mean and when does it begin to take your place in life.
I had to ask myself at what point did I start sharing my life with an internal monster. One that thrived off of attention, power, and the weak will of others. At what point do you notice that you are no longer you. I quickly became Batman also known

To me your name is a memory that you should forever hold on to. It is your direct link to the past, present, and future. It is your heritage and it is how you should be remembered. She argued that birth names were as bad as brands on cattle. I wrapped her response around my brain until it cut off circulation. I couldn’t help but pass out in exhaustion and frustration. Questions dancing a deadly tango in my head. I could no longer think rationally like Leeann, soon all my thoughts and ideas were processed like Batman. There was something in this nickname that I rebelled from. Fighting a civil war within myself, attempting to be the victor. This isn’t what I signed up for when I came to college.
They say college is a place where you find yourself. Where you make important life decisions like what clubs you will join and who you will interact with. Most people find themselves but I somehow managed to lose myself. I lost myself in the limelight of college the parties and this intimate yet destructive relationship. Somehow I found myself in her, she had given me something I didn’t know I was looking for. She gave me a name with meaning, she gave me a strong image of reality, but most importantly she gave me my first regret.
Nicknames are intimate things given from person to person. No matter their nature nicknames are attached to strong emotions may they be negative or positive. You are given a name based on you or the persons needs at that point in time. Angelique needed a
Do you have a nickname, and if so, what is its importance? In the novels, The White Tiger, and Brave New World, the main characters, Balram, and John are given nicknames. Balram, in The White Tiger, is given the titular name; John in Brave New World, is stereotyped as the Savage. While both Balram and John have defining identities stemming from their backgrounds, Balram basks in his role as ‘The White Tiger’; whereas John and his society have a negative association with his nickname, ‘The Savage’.
There are many other reasons as to why Bruce Wayne is not just a superhero but rather a person who has a disorder. When he "switches" from Bruce Wayne to Batman, he does not even notice. It is almost as if it is automatic. Nobody realizes that the respectable businessman Bruce Wayne is Batman by night. It appears that he is Batman for many reasons but a major one is that he fears that something terrible will happen to other people just like it happened to him when he was younger. He tries to save others from getting hurt from outlaws and evildoers.
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.
Everyone has his own name which identifies himself. And then everyone has nicknames, but you don’t like every single one of them. It depends on who is giving you the nickname and if it’s given with love. Also it depends on who is calling you like that. For example it could be strange when your friends call you with the nickname your mother gave you.
The boy, who was named Bruce after Bruce Wayne, Billy's favourite superhero, had turned out nothing like his father. Instead, he was a hard, faced, stoic businessman with a wife and two kids, the paragon of Americanisation and a fine product of American capitalism. When he was first born, Billy wanted to call him Dark, Dark Knight but to his relief his partner had stopped him. Billy was still resentful of that, he thought perhaps if they had called him that the boy would have become the next Batman. And they might've been able to sue DC Comics for taking his name.
Introduction What if you could fight crime without having any true superpowers? Well, that's what Batman does. Batman has a tragic background and also has many powers,enemies,weaknesses and strengths and a special outfit. Batman has an interesting background.
Everyone knows something about Batman. His costume maybe. Driving the Batmobile. However, what most fail to realize is that Batman has been rapidly changing over the
Committing himself to a life of seeking justice following his parent’s death it can be implied that Bruce Wayne channels himself into what Mara Weis refers to as the ‘Christ Complex’. Weis explains the Christ Complex as an “individual fixed on superiority and claim of being a savior” (Weis). Disregarding the obvious extreme of this which includes psychopathic murders, Weis claims there are varying ranges of ‘subtle conditions’. This addiction of subtle conditions can play into Bruce’s alternate identity by swearing to avenge his parent’s death and “rid Gotham of crime” (Origins). Bruce Channels this almost profound responsibility into his alter ego Batman which creates an image of superior stature. Weis confirms the logic by stating as one grows spiritually “development allows us to realize our full potential behind the innocence and loss of the child we once were”. (Weis??)
Batman has no superhuman powers but he does have other abilities that set him apart. He has great interrogation skills, including torture and traditional skills, which allow him to get any information that he wants. He is also in peak physical shape and has tremendous strength so he can keep up with the villains that he is fighting and physically overpower them. Batman also is a master at fighting and weapons making him have the upper hand when fighting villains (“Batman”). His main weakness, however, is that he is restricted to human powers to fight criminals. Batman’s main form of transportation is the batmobile, an all black car with a lot of equipment on it. Some of Batman’s enemies include The Joker, The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Two Face, and The Penguin (“Batman vs Superman”). The fact that Batman does not have any superhuman powers make him more appealing to the public. They see a superhero that is like them and it is very inspiring for them. If the public can relate to a particular superhero, then they will be more likely to support that character. However, his normality can work to his disadvantage as well. It is less interesting to watch movies or read stories about a normal human who fights crime.
I've always wanted a nickname, but have never been given one that I wanted to share with the world.
This man and his scared childhood decided one day that he would fight crime. Manipulating his fears and using them against criminals to detain them. He eventually recruits a boy and gives him the title of robin, and then robin become a hero on his own. Batman eventually recruits another but he is killed by the joker, and then becomes an anti villain called the red hood. Batman does not kill, which has got him in trouble a few times.
Batman on the other hand, was created by artist Kane and writer Bill Finger, and first appeared in Detective Comics number 27 in May, of 1939. Batman also referred to as Bruce Wayne, the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, or the World 's Greatest Detective, has had many shows and movies that have depicted him in many different ways, such as a kind crime fighter in Adam West’s version to a hated vigilante in his home of Gotham in
First and foremost, Batman is a hero because he responds to crime no matter when it is. It can be any time any day, no matter what he will be there to make sure you are ok. For example, one time
Batman's a whole other story. The filmmakers have worked out the mask problems from the previous film; Bale fills the suit with grace and danger. His voice is disguised as well - it's now a bass-heavy synthesized whisper. The character seems more than ever an extension of his high-tech toys (like the neat-o Bat-scooter that pops out of the Batmobile at one point, ecstatically rearing up like the Lone Ranger's Silver). He represents a citizen's darkest urges, though, and it eats at him. He's Dirty Harry crossed with Hamlet.
It’s just a name but your name is the only thing people hear about you and say, they don’t say hey there goes the marvelous girl or the intelligent girl. They say there goes Jasmine, did you hear about Jasmine, dont look but here comes Jasmine. They don’t even have to see or know you because all they need is a name.
