Final Draft
A Hero for All The book Batman the Dark Night tells a story about the crime fighter the batman and how he comes out of retirement to fight crime again. He does not have to start fighting crime again but after hearing how bad the city has become ridden with crime he makes a decision to come back. The book flashes back to him as a boy when he falls down a hole and is surrounded by bats and is scared out of his mind from this adventure. He then is burdened by watching his mother and father being killed by a robber right in front of him. He becomes a crime fighter and is ruthless in the way he does it. He goes to the extreme when he deals with the criminals like holding a villain upside down off a rooftop to get answers about where the leader of the gang is. He then is chastised by the very own people that he is fighting to protect and by the police commissioner who cannot put an end to the crime without the assistance of the batman. He is forced into an end all battle with the only other crime fighter there is Superman. The batman is a hero when it comes to what he does in the book. My idea of what makes a hero probably different from the next person. Lots of people in the world today look up to sports stars and call them heroes but I have a different outlook on what makes a hero. I think a hero is someone who will do whatever it takes to be the best person that they can be no matter what. A hero is a person who looks out for everyone and anyone with no exceptions to their color, race, and religion. A hero is a person who does the right thing when someone is looking as well as when no one is looking. A hero has to have integrity, honesty, loyalty, and compassion. A hero has to be an example to all that see them. A hero will sacrifice themselves for the benefit of other people. They have to be understanding to the needs of other people. My idea of a hero is a person that will risk their life or even injury to themselves in order to rescue

    What is a hero?A hero is someone who can save someone else’s life or teach them things that can change their life. Three people that inspire me or made me want to make a difference in the world are Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. , and Rosa Parks.

    In order to appeal to the ethos of the audience, Batman is presented as an honorable hero for taking the blame for Dent’s crime. Though the movie producers are successful at persuading the audience of the honor of Batman, it is also confusing to have Batman not be the hero at the end of the movie. Therefore, the open-endedness and vagueness at the conclusion of this movie hinders the persuasiveness used by the writers to have Batman be the hero of the movie. But, this vagueness also serves as a logical tool used by the writers to leave the audience wanting more storyline. The logic used by the writers is that if they leave Batman in a sticky situation at the conclusion of this movie, then the viewers will want further information and answers to the problem at hand. This use of logic, as well as the cause and effect of this decision, is an effective persuasive tool used to convince the audience to continue to follow the…

    A hero to many is someone who goes around running impossible speeds like flash doing good or a person with supernatural powers. Or like Judah thinks a hero is the good guy that fights the bad guy and always wins. However, to me a hero is a person who doesn’t care about money, fame and glory but they care about the happiness they can bring and the care they can bring for their family. A person who consoles me when I am upset, a person who always tries to find the good in everything. A person who fights for her beliefs(even if sometimes they are stubborn about it). A person who always gets me on my good side when I have a bad day. Someone who smiles and laughs at her own mistakes. Ciocia Tereska this why you are my hero!!! Against all odds…

    What is a hero? Many people have different definitions of what a hero can be for example Beowulf. In the story Beowulf, Beowulf the hero is described as a great fighter and a man of tremendous strength.

    My definition of a hero is someone who has done something good for someone or the world. For example, I consider Martin Luther King Jr gave rights to African Americans in the United States. A hero is someone who does something that people can't do like firefighters are considered hero's to me because on the day that 9/11 happened they were the ones who ran into the burning buildings to try to get people out of both buildings. When the firefighters went inside, cops stayed outside that is why I consider the firefighter's hero's because they risk they're life's to save other life's. From people, they don't even know.…

    The Dark Knight Rises picks up approximately eight years after the death of Harvey Dent, who you may remember from the previous film, was actually a villain. The truth has been buried and Gotham City has embraced Dent as a hero. The Dent Act went into effect essentially turning the crime ridden streets of Gotham City into a peaceful place to live. So peaceful in fact, that there was no need for a hero. Since the death of Dent, Batman was criminalized and he has not been seen in since. Unfortunately, Gotham City is about to learn how badly the city and its people will need Batman.…

    The definition of hero varies among people but, in my definition of a Hero is a person who is able to achieve the difficult task regardless of the resistance of society or sacrificing themselves in risky situations. A hero is not a person who is easily scared, gives up easily and selfish. In my opinion, when people are described as “hero” we neglect their bad behaviors, but this doesn’t imply to every hero we should be aware of such things because we all have our own flaws.…

    Often time’s people think of heroes as a fictional character with superpowers like spider-man, superman or iron man. I define hero as someone who put other needs before them self, someone who risk their life to save other. ''A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to preserve and endure in spite of oncoming obstacle"- (Christopher Reeve). When I think of a true definition of a hero it will definitely not be someone with superpower and super strength it will be someone who finds courage in their heart to help others. Heroes comes in different size and shapes. Hero can also be defined in many different ways, there are a lot of qualities that describe a hero like, respect, courage, strength, and integrity.…

    Bruce Wayne a criminal at the time met a man (Ra’s al ghul).This man sent him on a jouney and taught him to overcome his fear (Bruce Wayne feared bats). When he was young, he fell into an old well and, he became surrounded by bats. Soon Bruce's father came to his aid, and told Bruce that the reason we fall, is to simply get back up. Although this comforted Bruce, the bats became literally his biggest fear. Bruce's father and mother were killed, when Bruce as a child, insisted that they leave a play that had bats in it; they were gunned down by a low-life thug, who panicked when things during the robbery got heated. Bruce, left with a guilty conscience that it was his fault that his parents were killed, turned to a life of crime and was eventually sent to jail. After meeting Ra’s al ghul he was trained to be a warrior. To Bruce, this was a chance to try and save Gotham from people like Falcone. When Bruce was to be tested by executing a prisoner of the League of Shadows (the organization that Bruce was trained by). He couldn’t do it, because if he did, he would be doing the same thing that he is punishing criminals for, so instead of falling to the dark, and twisted path, he flees the League of Shadows, leaving a destroyed “Dojo” behind him; a path set for the salvation of Gotham before him. Bruce decided to use a symbol, the bat to begin his campaign of justice. Bruce becomes the batman and took his justice to a corrupted Gotham, a place his father had set to save, was now in the hands of Bruce Whayne, the Batman. Batman brought the fear to people like Falcone and Dr.Crane and he saved many people from thugs that infected the city throughout. The Bat's idea of justice was to save people, and maybe reach a peace in his heart from a life wasted, sitting in the type of rot his father always wished to cure Gotham of. Henri Ducard tells Bruce that justice is balance: an eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tooth. As an…
