Batman Byronic Hero
The research paper I have chosen to examine from Batman films involving the presentation of the Byronic hero in contemporary movies. The Byronic hero of the Batman are darker and ruthless, however, as a hero, he participates in a journey that faces adversaries without killing them. His characters portray strong, intelligent and hard-working because before his time being a Batman, he travels around the world and learns various languages, cultures and martial arts to obtain knowledge so he can battle his enemies and solve the cases in different ways. Batman carries the dark character because his parents were murdered in front of his own eyes when he was a young boy that leads him to retaliate his parents' death.

    Compare And Contrast Bilbo And Batman

    Beowulf, Bilbo, and Batman all have something in common that makes them who they are, they all show characteristics of what it takes to be a hero. Even though one of them did not think that they would have any type of heroism in them or they were just born into it. In the movie, The Dark Knight, Batman is more like a vigilante than a hero in my opinion. A vigilante is a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate. Batman does a lot in Gotham to try to help with the crime but he does not get any type of recognition from the citizens.…

    batman bigines and the oddesy

    How can two heroic journeys be so different when they actually have so much in common? This is when two great people such as Christopher Nolan and Homer have their artwork made to be recognized and adored by all the world. “Batman Begins” and The Odyssey are both great works of art. Homer, the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, is considered the greatest at ancient Greek epic poems. Christopher Nolan is the director, producer, and co writer of “Batman Begins.” He has been nominated 21 times for the Academy Awards and won six of them not to mention that his work has grossed approximately 3.5 billion dollars worldwide. Nolan has been described as “one of the most innovative storytellers and image makers at work in movies today.”…

    Archetypal Characters In The Knight's Tale

    The Knight’s Tale movie demonstrates how the archetypal heroic knight creates a unifying viewing window from which a story can be viewed or perceived. William is this heroic knight, and represents a rallying point for the common observer to align with during their viewing. By its definition alone the archetypal knight is a desirable role that, internally, many wish they could fill. William as a character possesses this positive association, as well as being a more relatable character by being impulsive, headstrong, and rebellious. All of which are traits that the common man possesses to some extent, and thus can see themselves mirrored in Williams’s character.…

    As the writer of the Killing Joke, which is recreated into the beloved The Dark Knight, Moore distilled the elements of batman based on his understanding. Ozymandias is the charismatic, rich and intelligent Bruce Wayne, Rorschach is the crime fighting, butt kicking dark side of Batman, hunting ugliness and vermin of the society. His seek of truth and justice posed a horrifying obsession, where mercy and redemption are a kind of luxury. Ozymandias murdered millions based on his own will. Rorschach squeezes and tortures people, just because “I saw society’s true face.”…

    I can recall that it as though it were yesterday similar to each Saturday, enabling my robe to give me exceptional powers and change me into a super legend "“DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA Batman…!” My folks' room was adjoining mine this night; I was in my room watching toons sitting on the edge of my bed when abruptly I heard my shouting like she never had. I kept running into their room into the lobby entrance; I saw this frightening scene has been scratched in my brain from that point onward. I cried in light of the fact that both of my folks were contending such that it really furious my sentiments. My Father's hands were put around my Mother's neck, stifling the life out of her. I remained between them powerless… on the grounds that what he was doing to my mother, I knew it wasn't right, in the wake of standing immovably between them, he at…

    In summary, Batman’s “renaissance” is relevant to the reader of The Dark Knight Returns. Batman’s rebirth can be seen through, his physical changes, superhero power struggle, and his death. I would like to conclude that a hero is not meant to be the favorite amongst society as long as the hero serves justice then, the hero should be…

    Batman's Journey

    “Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.” (Christopher Nolan) In The Dark Knight, Batman is the hero of Gotham. Batman is Bruce Wayne’s identity as he fights crime to protect Gotham in Nolan’s trilogy. Bruce Wayne was born a hero, he was raised the way a hero is and lived the life of a hero. There is no doubt in my mind my argument will be convincing in this case. When one searches for the definition of “hero” in the dictionary, one finds definitions of the term such as: “a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble…

    Modern Robin Hood Legends

    Hundreds of years ago in Sherwood Forest, there lived a noble thief by the name of Robin Hood. Or so the legend goes. In fact, historians have not conclusively determined whether the Robin Hood of legend ever lived (Krall 22). The earliest forms of modern Robin Hood legends date back to 15th century ballads, but references to such a man appear much earlier. The first literary allusion to Robin Hood, specifically the “rymes of Robyn Hood,” takes place in Langland’s Piers Plowman, published around 1377. Today, the most prevalent view in popular culture holds that Robin was a supporter of Richard the Lionheart, but most historians agree that, if such a man existed, he lived sometime between the 12th and 14th centuries, nearly one hundred years…

    Duality In The Dark Knight Returns

    Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns questions what is right and what is wrong. It makes you wonder if the government is the bad guy, or if it is the criminals, or maybe even Batman himself. Miller uses duality and creates closure to show that there is always another side of the coin and all you have to do is flip it to see it. He also uses art to build context and tension by starting with art that is abstract. The art slowly changes to brighter colors and less abstract art as the tension of the plot builds. With the use of an iconic archetypal vigilante seeking justice, Miller also emphasizes the ever-present question of morality.…
