Under powers granted by the Dent Act-legislation inspired by the late Harvey Dent –the Gotham City Police Department has nearly eradicated organized crime. Batman has disappeared and Bruce Wayne has become a recluse. Police Commissioner James Gordon fells guilty about the truth; however, he decides that the city is not ready to hear it. While searching for a missing congressman, Gordon is captured and his speech taken by Bane. Gordon is shot during his escape and found by patrol officer John Blake. While recuperating , Gordon promotes Blake to detective, with Blake to detective, with Blake reporting directly to him.
Wayne Enterprises is nearly bankrupt after Bruce invested in board member Miranda Tate’s clean energy project, designed to harness fusion power, only to shut it down after discovering the core could be used as a nuclear weapon. Blake-who has deduced Batman’s identity-and Gardon encourage Batman to return, but Alfred Pennyworth resigns after a failed attempt to dissuade him, including informing Bruce that Rachel Dawes had intended to marry Dent before she died .

Bane subsequently kills Daggett as he is no longer of use. Batman asks Selina Kyle to lead him to Band in exchange for a program that will erase her identity from every database on the planet, allowing her to retire. However, Selina actually leads him to a trap; Bane agreed to let her live if she brought him Batman.

    The novel, Wayne of Gotham by Tracy Hickman explores the ancestry of Bruce Wayne while utilizing his detective skills. I chose this book because Batman is my favorite character and I think that the graphic novels along with books paint a broader picture of the character. Batman is after all, the world’s “best detective” in the DC Comics world. The story starts in the cave with Bruce Wayne’s grandfather teaching his son Thomas Wayne to be a man by shooting the creatures of the night “bats” with a gun (Hickman, 2012, pp. 1-5). The story is definitely for avid fans of Batman, but can be enjoyed by newcomers. Bruce Patrick Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth and Detective James Gordon are players in a story that unravels a dark hidden secret of the Wayne…

    He was there in the shadows silently watching over them, ready to protect them. "We’d better keep this and the blanket to ourselves. Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up" (Lee 96). As Scout was standing freezing watching Miss Maudie’s house burn down in, Boo Radley comes to warm her up and protect her from the elements by placing a blanket around her shoulder without her knowing. This similar to how Batman presides over Gotham and how he is its silent protector. Likewise, Boo finally fulfills the prophecy by saving Jem and Scout from a Bob Ewell, who seeks retribution on Atticus by trying to kill Atticus’s children. Whereas, Batman saves Gotham from the League of Shadow, who wishes to destroy the city to end its corruption and rebuild it.

On the other hand, Batman refuses to kill as he believes that in his own mind that to kill is to fall to the level of villains like the Joker and Bane. He learns from himself and indirectly from his former mentor Ra’s Al Ghul, that compassion is what separates and differentiates them from the villains and criminals of society. “I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you”(Batman Begins); were his final words to his former mentor and teacher Ra’s Al Ghul as he left train before its explosion. Al Ghul was genocidal terrorist that wishes to destroy civilization in order to rebuild it, Batman could not leave Al Ghul alive without risking serious consequences such as endangering the lives of many others, so given no…

    The thermometer functions as an emotional barometer, representing Jeff's circumstances, although Thorwald has been caught, Jeff has survived and his relationship with Lisa is okay, it does not mean things will remain in the good condition that they are at the end of the film. If we move forward fifty-four years through the world of crime writer's to the year 2008 we discover the film "The Dark Knight" directed by Christopher Nolan. This most recent instalment of "Batman" fits appropriately into the hard-boiled sub-genre of crime-fiction. It meets many of the conventions but, like in "Rear Window", subverts several conventions to better serve the composer's purpose. As with most hard-boiled crime texts, "The Dark Knight" has a metropolitan setting. The citizens of Gotham city have grown to depend on ‘Batman' who represents safety, security and order, but when things get out of control they turn on him and demand his prosecution. Nolan uses this to communicate to his audience the human need for answers and a scapegoat to blame for the problems in their world. The detective in hard-boiled detective fiction is usually considered to be a ‘loner', this is true in "The Dark Knight", the real identity of ‘Batman', Bruce Wayne, is only known by his love interest, Rachel Dawes, a close colleague, Lucius Fox and his…

    As mentioned earlier, Batman and Superman eventually start to fight, as Batman calls him a sellout for letting the government abuse of his powers. In the scene batman utters, “And it has to end here on this filthy patch street, where my parents died” (190, 4). Batman is referring to crime alley where he eventually dies of a heart attack, the same place where his origin or initially “birth” began. It was the heart drive and tenacity that made him who he is Batman. However, in this cased his own will and heart has failed to make him achieve another victory.

    In the Robin Hood case, we can easily apply the principles of a business organization. Robin was the CEO of the Merrymen. He made all important decisions and a few lieutenants serve in roles that have been delegated such as information gathering, discipline, finances and provisioning. These make up the top management in the organization. There are several issues Robin Hood needs to consider. First, Robin Hood needs to make sure his own personal grievances against the Sheriff do not cloud his vision and what is in the best interest of his Merrymen as a group. Second, take a broad look at the overall organizational structure by conducting an environmental scan, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis and/or using a variety of organizational assessments. A SWOT analysis will help determine some strategic alternatives and how the band can attempt to fulfill its mission and achieve its goals. Robin Hood can use the SWOT analysis to identify where he is strong and vulnerable, where he should defend and attack by scanning both internal and external environments…

    Spider Man

    Watching movies created from books I have read, I have noticed many similarities and also many differences regarding the plot. The most recent example of varying plots that I have evaluate is Spider-Man the comic series written by Stan Lee to Spider-Man the film directed by Sam Raimi. One of the main events that differ between the two is the circumstances surrounding Peter’s Uncle Ben’s murder. The differences in the murders also play a more important role in the development of Peter’s emotions in each case. In both the comic book and the movie, Peter also goes through various physical changes that affect his emotional state. Sam Raimi’s 2002 film depicts a more emotional and tragic vision of Peter Parker than Stan Lee’s The Amazing Spider-Man, because it creates more of a feeling of liability in Uncle Ben’s death.…
