How Batman Changes

Like TOTC, sacrifice is a big theme in the movie. Alfred keeps telling Bruce not to throw his life away by becoming Batman. Bruce feels responsible for what has happened to Gotham, and Bruce returns home like Charles moved to England.

“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.

The film begins with Bruce Wayne, Batman, recalling his parent’s murder. We are introduced to an older dark Batman who brands and kills criminals. Throughout the film, we are reminded of the destruction that superman has caused in Metropolis when he indirectly destroyed the city. Lex Luthor takes advantage of the situation by manipulating Batman to hate Superman (Clark Kent), and capturing Superman's mother forcing the heroes to fight each other. Furthermore, the character Bruce Wayne, in Batman v Superman (BVS), illustrates a clear example of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of evidence of flashbacks, impulsive behavior and his inability to sleep.

In the beginning of the movie Bruce fears bats from a bad first encounter with them. This is caused by him running away for Rachel after he takes an arrowhead from her, so he then goes and hides on a boarded up well which collapses causing Bruce to fall down it scaring some bats causing them to attack him. When the bats attacked him, he develops a phobia of bats, that is until he becomes the Batman. Later in the movie Bruce’s fear disappears. This is a result of his training with Ra's Al Ghul and the league of shadows because they make become one with his fear by using them in his training. This technique helps him overcome his fear and become what he feared, Batman. He now inflicts that fear on those who create crime. Screenwriter, David Freeman says, “This type of symbol usually falls into the category of what I call ‘Character Deepening Techniques’, for it helps give a character a feeling of emotional depth”. Hence, bats are a great symbol to create a deeper meaning that is used in Batman

Batman is a depiction of hope. Batman was the answer to a lot of people’s problems in a place where nobody felt safe like they should in their home. He was like the rain after a long, dry spell for

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 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

How has the Dc Comics superhero Batman changed over the past 70 years? How has design influenced the development of the various costumes for the character and how are Batman films reflecting darker forces within US Society? From Comic book Hero to national icon.

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

Most comic book movie don't live up the the hype, but after seeing the dark knight. It's very hard to not like this movie. Bruce Wayne (Batman) played by Christian Bale. We gain new insight into his motivations and the variables he must contend with in his role as protector of Gotham. The Joker played by Heath ledger is at his peak performance (sadly his death came just months before the movie released.)

Paying close attention one will soon realize the significant of bats throughout all of the movies. Bat are shown throughout the movies to symbolize how he once feared them, but overcame the fear to become one. Bruce’s parents were killed as the result of him rushing out due to his fear of bats. When he discovered his bat cave in Batman Begins, his fear was also shown. Later, Batman was who the villains feared and tested when they were out to destroy Gotham. Everything is connected to show how once a weakness can become a

Clearly the TV networks deemed it necessary to clean up the image of the angry crime fighter in order to placate the censor boards and parents, so the image of Batman that they put out was one that did not correspond at all to what he started out as. Yet, this show was able to attract its own audience, just like the darker comic book version had its own fan base. Batman would not have been able to be as successful as he was if he depended solely on his comic book image, because it would have limited his audience and eventually, he would have been phased out of the collective mind of society. By appearing in film and TV, Batman was able to transcend the conventional borders that limited normal comic book heroes.

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

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.

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
