Batman Begins Psychological Evaluation on Bruce Wayne Bruce Wayne in the movie batman begins is a male anywhere from 27-32 years’ old. He grew up with his two parents, his father Thomas Wayne, and his mother Martha Wayne. Economically speaking Bruce Wayne grew up living a very luxurious life style, Thomas Wayne in the movie is a wealthy business man and doctor, who owns Wayne Enterprise, the Wayne family is extremely wealthy. Bruce grew up in a mansion with his parents and care taker Alfred. Bruce grew up with lots of money and a very caring family, as far as Bruce’s education he has a high school diploma and spent a couple years at Princeton University but never finished. Bruce is a good looking guy with brown hair, he is muscular and extremely well fit athletically speaking. However, someone looking at Bruce would never be able to see his emotions, he has a lot of hatred built up inside that he holds down within himself but the hatred shines through in his reckless and aggressive behavior, he is lost emotionally and is just looking for his path in life. In the movie Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne shows almost every …show more content…
Bruce got PTSD after watching his parents get murdered which is perfectly normal, who would not be effected in some way by a tragedy like that occurring in their life. He also acted like a stereotypical male by pushing all his feelings down and covering them up with anger at the world and himself. The only part that is not normal is how he got treatment, which he received throughout his training for the League of Shadows. However, that is easily comparable to joining the military and going to basic training, many people I know have run off and joined the military because of a tragedy, and ended up coming out of the training with a better understanding of the tragedy and new way to look at the tragedy they once ran

    Although both lost their parents at a very young age, Superman’s/Clark Kent’s upbringing was quite different from the one of Batman/Bruce Wayne. While Superman was brought up, cared for and loved by his foster parents the Kent’s who knew of his alien origin from the beginning, Batman’s childhood was more isolated from society. His butler Alfred was his only real friend and confidant. The fact that he inherited a fortune allowed him to live without worrying about getting a job or facilitating his crime-fighting obsession.…

    There are few moments in life that society will get excited for. One of these events is the much anticipated movie premiere. The announcement of one of your favorite superheroes being made into a movie is very exciting and questions about what the movie will look like, run ramped through everyone’s mind. Serval months before the movie even primers, the movie studios will give a brief sample of what we will be in for and continue to drop morsels each week. Showing an action scene here or a short clip of the movie is enough for fans to crave more.

    Primo-senso-cortexatron, named SENSO for short, lives and protects the area in front of the parietal lobes, near his good friend the master of all things motor. He is closely knit with passion and love hence his red skin color. SENSO hears, feels, and records incoming and touch-related sensations all through his muscular physique, large ears, large nose, and mouth. Although he looks like a toughy, SENSO allows the citizens of Brainyville to psychically feel, by receiving messages from the outer world surrounding Brainyville, he is actually a huge softy! When SENSO is stimulated on the top of his head, he sends off a message and allows for the feeling of a touch of a shoulder to be felt. When SENSO is stimulated on his side, he sends off a different message and allows for a touch on the face to be felt. SENSO takes care of the more sensitive areas too. The feeling of a kiss stimulates a larger part of SENSO’s body because it’s a more sensitive area. SENSO makes the world a better place and aims to protect the physical feelings of those in Brainyville.…

    Batman: Good and Evil

    • 2906 Words
    • 12 Pages

    In our world, it is widely accepted that Good and Evil are two opposing forces, completely contrasting each other. Through all eras, Good and Evil are depicted as starkly conflicting as black and white. This, however, is a false dichotomy, the continuation of which creates heroes out of those who do not deserve to be worshipped, and villains out of those who do not deserve to be ostracized. This disunion of similar forces is often perpetuated in popular culture and the media. In children’s shows, there is a clear hero and a clear villain (i.e. the Powerpuff Girls vs. Mojo Jojo.) In the news, when a crime is committed, the police forces are almost always depicted as the inherently good force, and the person who committed the crime as the inherently evil force. However, in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins screenplay, this idea is challenged. In this screenplay, Nolan shows that Good and Evil are, in fact, two sides of the same coin, and it is often hard to label a character or entity as one or the other. Furthermore, when two forces engage in conflict, it is not always a clashing of Good against Evil. Nolan shows that the human condition makes it very easy for Evil to infiltrate and corrupt Good. It is much easier, in fact, for Evil to overtake Good than for Good to overtake Evil. In order to avoid this corruption, one must achieve balance between both sides, instead of trying to suppress one. Much of this concept is explored through the character Batman, in his many faults and strengths. Batman is supposed to be a “hero”, but many times his weaknesses get in the way of his quest to bring justice to Gotham City(which is also a very flawed, Evil-ridden place,), making it hard to decide if he is good or evil, and, in fact, where the line between Good and Evil lies; this is a truth that is seen more in the real world than the(commonly accepted) idea of Good and Evil in…

    For as long as society existed, there have been attempts of defining morality. Morality is the boundary between a hero and a villain. In TV shows and cartoons, we learned that heroes, regardless how strong the temptation, would choose to do the right thing rather than what’s easy, whereas villains would do anything and everything within their power to get what they want. An example of this contrast is Batman and the Joker. Batman never breaks his one rule to kill, despite of the cruel things the Joker did to tempt him. The Joker on the other hand would do anything to entertain himself, even killing innocent lives. Only when there is a set of rules that draws a boundary between right and wrong can there be order and peace within the society.…

    Batman’s rebirth is witnessed by his initial physical changes. For example, Alfred points out, “Master Bruce. Whatever happened to your moustache” (20, 7).This physical change is what hints at a different stage or “rebirth” in Bruce Wayne. In the following panel, Bruce looks in shock as he is unaware of the change. The removal of the moustaches symbolizes a new start to his return as the Batman hero. This leads me to the picture of batman where he looks much more mean, muscular, menacing,…
