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

The pattern consisted of the main protagonist originally living in the ordinary world, going into the abyss, experiencing rebirth and transformation, eventually returning to their normal world. You can see the stages of the ordinary world, the call to adventure, and the trials all in the movie The Dark Knight.…

    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,…

    It’s hard for me to make a creative prediction about how Bruce’s racial or ethnic heritage has or will influence his future. Bruce seems to be very calm, well organized, and confident. He’s a white British male living in England. Ethnically and racially he’s at home with others just like his self, so many of the customs, traditions, and language Bruce should be familiar with while growing up amongst others like himself.…

    Good vs. Evil in Batman

    Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is a reflection of how the good responds to the nature of evil. The Joker is the ultimate evil character and throughout the film he puts other characters in a tough situations that force them to choose between right and wrong and ultimately good and evil. Examples of this are seen with the characters Harvey Dent, Batman, and in the lifeboat scenario scene. The Joker’s main goal is to prove that people are truly evil deep down and he manipulates them to bring that evil out and finds pleasure in destroying the good in people.…

    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.…
