Instead, he chooses to give his life to beating criminals who threaten Gotham City. Batman may seem invincible, but Bruce Wayne is human. He doesn't have the power of invulnerability. He can be hurt and killed. He relies on his intelligence, fighting abilities and gadgets to win. Batman doesn't kill his enemies. He seeks justice, not revenge.

Her battered body only a shell that served one purpose. To protect her son at all cost. Even at the cost of her own life. A price that was paid full. Innocent blood of his mother’s dead body tainted his soul that day. One last lullaby which haunts him to the day. Unable to abandon the guilt, Bruce felt at fault for his mother’s death.

    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…

    Batman is an iconic archetypal vigilante that represents justice and darkness. On page 39 Batman is fighting a criminal and chooses to exact his own justice on him. “There are seven working defenses from this position. Three of them disarm with minimal contact. Three of them kill… The other----hurts”. This is the darker side of Batman. The part of him that relays heavily on his id and basks in the thrill of punishing criminals. Is it okay that a sadistic masked man makes these kinds of decisions? This is where we wonder if Batman is morally right or if maybe the government is right and he is a menace to a…
