    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…

    In the film the dark knight and the book Macbeth there are many comparisons such as the influence of many dark supernatural forces that predict confusion, also the hero to antihero idea and the tragic past and advantaged lives both Macbeth and Batman had.

    Batman And Gilgamesh

    • 1740 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Batman Begins and the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh both feature the story of a culture hero. In both of these works, the heroic quest of the culture hero is significant. Apart from having similar narratives, these two stories also have significant differences in themes. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh becomes a hero for fame and immortality, while in Batman Begins; Bruce Wayne becomes a hero to avenge the deaths of his parents and at the same time protect the city of Gotham. These two characters also show a difference in the conflicts that they face as they fight against overwhelming circumstances. Gilgamesh is at odds with mortality, while Bruce is at odds with the corruption of human nature. One can say that Bruce is also concerned with mortality, since the death of his parents was the main reason for his doings. But instead of directly facing mortality, he attempts to strike the system that creates it. Therefore, it can be seen that both Gilgamesh and Bruce Wayne are heroes of some kind, because they both have heroic characteristics and because they posses bravery against overwhelming circumstances. Nevertheless, they are very different in the way they plan to fight against the simple threat of physical human and social decay.…

    To begin, I have always wondered why and how batman does what he does; fight crime, hang out in the bat cave, and most of all why he is batman. Bruce Wayne got the name Batman from how he lost what was dearest to him, his parents. As a little boy Bruce fell into a well on the Wayne estate property. There he interrupted a cave of bats that scared him pale in the face and delivered nightmares to him for years. At a young age the Wayne's were out one foggy night to see an opera including bats in a couple scenes and Bruce was horrified. Without question the…
