In that response fellow Batman lovers, Batman sure put Doctor Destiny in his place as to why he is worthy of being deemed a superhero.
We all have role models whom are seemly ordinary people that we are able to relate to. Batman represents the realm of the possible, making him more relatable as he is a prime example of how an ordinary person can achieve extraordinary things. Even though Batman goes through difficult circumstances such as losing his parents, he is an example of how we can turn anything into something positive. He carries emotional baggage as most of us do and he’s imperfect, but is still able to use his human abilities to achieve greatness.
Batman has an iron will power and will do anything to save the greater good, his
When a superhero attempts to save mankind, they also kill the lives of the many. They are so blinded by the idea of defeating the alien race from space that they nearly destroy an entire city. Every superheroes goal is to help the innocent and defenseless, but how they go about it is completely reckless and brutal. The Batman, in 1986, was a vigilante who did more than just break laws to catch the bad guys. In this version, he acknowledged his actions and confessed to being a criminal. Skoble confirms, “Of course, this is completely accurate only in a technical way, and Batman means it ironically” (31). What Skoble is trying to point out is that Batman believed that what he was doing was making him a criminal, taking the law into his own hands.
Batman contradicts his morals while he is fighting the mutant leader and when he is about to shoot him he stops himself with “though that means crossing a line I drew for myself thirty years ago”. While Batman did not kill the mutant leader, earlier on Batman shoots a mutant grunt with a machine gun and faded blood is splattered behind the criminal holding a baby captive (Miller, 64). Later on in the novel Batman says to the joker “a gun is a coward’s weapon, a liars weapon” (Miller, 149). Batman has power to stick to his morals, to take on the evil of Gotham City, and to make the decision to deliver justice no matter whose side of the law he is. However, in the novel he has clearly stated that killing someone crosses his morals and that he despises guns yet he uses them to kill criminals. Batman crosses his golden rule of not killing criminals and shows that he will go above his own moral code of justice.
In the world of superheroes, there are numerous that believe they are heroes, while in actuality, they are merely vigilantes. This is demonstrated throughout the world of superheroes, but it is not as prominently demonstrated as in Batman. Batman presents himself as a hero, while he is only an over imaginative vigilante. He is more a vigilante than a hero since he has the ability to stop crime, but doesn’t, he only does deeds for his own benefit, and he helps the law but isn’t part of it. These are only a few ways Batman is a vigilante, rather than a hero. These are mainly based upon the idea of him trying to right his own past.
“It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” Said by Bruce Wayne, explains how he feels about what he does as Batman. His actions as Batman prove him as an anti-hero. Christopher Nolan portrays Batman as an antihero through isolation of the character, and a dim setting of the movie.
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.
He might be a hero, but he hhas done some pretty horrible things that stem to the level of brutal. In one instance, Batman even shoved a bomb down a guy’s pants and pushed him into a hole. The bomb, unsurprisingly killed the guy. This is not something Batman would normally do. He doesn’t believe killing is the answer to people’s problems.
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
Iron Man considers it it’s his duty and obligation to use all his genius and resources to fight the evil that affects the world. Batman In the Beginning was drive by revenge, wanted to capture the murderer of his Parents. However Over time, his desire for retribution is expanded to the notion of crime in itself, but is kept far from personal impulses. Iron Man, First it was the guilt he was driven by the need of redemption for all the lives that were took by result of his armory, he wanted to eliminate the threats of the world to which he himself supplied weapons. Gradually it became a question of ego and need to control every possible aspect concern with security and trying to achieving lasting peace in the
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
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).
Many heroes can have different traits Batman has some of these traits such as being courageous and not being afraid of the fighting a shark and he also does not really have any superpowers, but faces danger him being intelligent and having a very high I.Q. of 192 and, having multiple degrees and him not only having physical, but mental strength as well by mastering martial arts and saving his own life in Batman 2. Batman symbolizes American heroism because he is courageous, intelligent, and he has both physical and mental
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
The story has shown the theme of "Dedication , " by unceasing making efforts and be more and more powerful . For example , in the story there is a sentence that can show it: " Man won't kill god , then devil will do it . " This sentence has show how batman wants to own the power , even he will turn in to a devil . In other hand , batman still know he needed to save the world . So , I think the reason that batman wants power is because he want to save the world and not beat by superman .
Heroes exist all around us, fictional or not. They inspire us and often set us on a path of goodness and justice. USUALLY. Most heroes, realistically aren’t as good as we create them to be. Batman for instance, is one of those heroes. Batman or Bruce Wayne, is Gotham’s protector; a fabricated city in Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. A graphic novel where the batman has long retired after the death of his heroic sidekick robin, and his sudden return to battle the crime-ridden metropolis.
