Hope For The Amazing Hulk Ulibarri 1

At seven years old Bruce was shy and had little confidence in himself, and that continued throughout most of his young adulthood. Bruce states that when he looks back at himself at seven “[he] can’t really recognize [himself]”. The boy at seven seemed a little bit lost and a little bit sad, but at forty nine he was content and reasonably happy. Once Bruce made the decision to start prioritizing his own happiness it completely changed his personality, and he became much more confident and happy. Thus, as we saw in Bruce, the decisions he made in life , and the consequences of those decisions effected the way he saw himself and interacted with those around

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.

When he witnessed his parents being murdered at a very young age, Bruce Wayne became motivated by revenge to combat the same evil forces of the city that took away what he loved so much.

Bruce Wayne’s journey into becoming Batman follows the path of an archetype hero because has a call to adventure, a mentor, and a final attempt at a big change. Living the years after his parents’ death in anger and guilt, Wayne embarked on a world-wide journey to

In the graphic novel, we do not really see Bruce connect with his children, but we later do with Alison; thus he redefines his character. In pages 220 and 221, we see Bruce and Alison in the car together, and Bruce starts talking about his past as a young adult. He informs to Alison that there was a boy he was interested in, and he went on describing a description of the boy. As the reader is seeing the sort of trust between Bruce, and Alison, we acknowledge the fact that Bruce is letting part of his family into his personal secretive life that kept alone for such a long time. We seeing the frames on page 220, his facial expression, as it goes from looking stern to widen eyes back to stern, and wide eyes with his hands covering his mouth.

As a child, Bruce was traumatized by the murder of his parents. Bruce and his parents were leaving an Opera in Gotham City and they were robbed and murdered. Bruce swore to get revenge on all criminals. When he was eighteen, he started to train in martial arts. He had several marital arts teachers, but he was trained mainly by Ra’s Al Ghul. He mastered one hundred and twenty-seven styles of martial arts. A few of the styles were Muay Thai, Escrima, Krav Maga, Savate, Yawyan, Hokuto Shinken, Capoeira, Taekwondo, Boxing, Judo, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, Kendo, Fencing, Kenjitsu, Kali, Bojutsu, Francombat, Kickboxing, Hapkido, Wing Chun, Parkour, Silat, Chin Na, etc. He became untrustworthy of everyone expect his butler Alfred, Dick Grayson (Robin) and Barbara Gordon (Batgirl/Oracle). In comic book number 38, Batman started having a side kick (Robin) to help him fight crime. In the 1940s, Batman began to extremely popular, so the writer decided to publish a comic book just for him. Batman’s main villains are The Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, and Posion

Yet another form of therapy that is likely to be beneficial to Bruce Wayne is cognitive therapy. The goal of cognitive therapy is to work with the negative, or even covert, thoughts that an individual possesses so that they are replaced by healthier thoughts more in tune with reality. Several studies have found that cognitive therapy is the most effective therapy for a plethora of issues, including depression, anger, and anxiety (Hofmann, Asnaani, Vonk, Sawyer, & Fang, 2012). In the case of Bruce, he might possess distrust of others, and as a result of that, he might withdraw from society and break off any prior social interactions he once had. Because of this, it is vital to work with Bruce’s negative thoughts about how society truly is, and

While Bruce can be seen as a hurt, tired man trying to keep his promise to Jason, the Bat is the one who cannot ignore the crime-ridden Gotham City and coaxes Bruce to take action. This struggle between his two sides creates moral ambiguity as Miller creates sympathy for Bruce’s reluctance, but also shows the need for Batman’s return. The struggle between the two entities is seen when Bruce walks through the Crime Alley and tries to restrain from fighting a few members of the violent Mutant group (Miller 14). Miller zooms out from a close-up of Bruce’s face to his rigid body, thus showing his conflict through both his expression and his posture. (see fig. 1) The face is accentuated with heavy, jagged lines and a strong juxtaposition of highlights and shadows, emphasising Bruce’s turmoil. As the image gradually zooms out, the reader sees Bruce crouching with tightly bound arms, which highlights his desperation to stop the Batman from acting. However, the spotlight on Bruce contrasts him with the dark alley, suggesting that only he can fight against the darkness, or the crime, that pervades the alley. Miller uses a 4 x 4 grid to break up the simple act above to a slow pace, thus making the moment particularly dramatic.

At the age of nine, Bruce Wayne and his parents walked outside a theater where they were confronted by a robber. He witnessed the robber kill his parents and then run off into the distance. This left Bruce Wayne with a mental scar which continues to haunt

Throughout book one of the comic, there were several panels in which Bruce Wayne’s trauma was mentioned. It seemed that Bruce’s childhood trauma of seeing his parents killed had followed him into his adulthood. On pages 22, the reader was clearly able to understand Bruce’s internal battle as he attempted to convince himself that “[ the Mark of Zorro] is just a movie. That’s all it is. No harm in watching it,” (Miller, 22). On both page 22 and 23, Miller was able to present a very human condition that usually followed trauma; PTSD. The strategy of showing a more human side effect was able to express how human Batman still was at his

His wealthy parents become the victim of a mugging by a street thug that results in the murder which Bruce witnesses, and as a result, he is tormented by an enormous sense of guilt and responsibility for their deaths. Byronic heroic nature can be seen in this incident. This guilt is obviously implausible because of Bruce 's young age and inability to intercede as well as the random violence of the act itself. It is this horror that occurs in his life while he is young that hampers him from developing the relationship with his people in the society. Gothic Literature has influenced Batman as a Byronic hero during contemporary times. He is revered as an iconic role model for the male gender, an extraordinary symbol of the American dream, and a beacon of hope for the horrific events in a terrorist society.

The incidence Bruce Wayne must confront is his parent’s death and how he can be an expander and point to corrupt cops that are prevalent in the Gotham Police Department or a container that says its more about guns and drugs. However, as Bruce develops his body and mind through training with the League of Shadows he decides that being either an expander or a container doesn’t fix the immediate issues and is why his vigilante stance goes above the law. This view is exemplified in a final part of his training he asked to execute a prisoner without first evaluating the evidence and data

The graphic novel follows the same narrative patterns that superheroes typically use since Earth One is an origin story. Earth One follows the monomyth narrative pattern because Bruce goes through an ordeal that leaves him changed. He gets held hostage, his parents are murdered by the

Bruce’s physique does not accurately compliment his other half, but rather reflects the perfect portrayal of a dork. If not for the emerald berserker unleashed by rage, you’d have a tragic time believing the walking sack of bones has an anger problem. The definition of a textbook weakling, Bruce has a frail and lanky built, even leaner from his previous years of malnutrition and constant drifting. Without any muscle definition, his 5’10 height appears to be towering – nothing more than a rail.
