Batman (a.k.a. Bruce Wayne) is one of the most iconic superheroes in the history of comics and the world. Although some may consider him a vigilante because of the way he takes justice into his own hands, he is an ally to the people of Gotham, bringing peace to the city in its darkest nights. The story of how Batman came to be can be quite complex and is seen in various versions but in most, Bruce is disgraced by the death of his parents: Thomas (owner of a massive Wayne company) and Martha Wayne

In the movie “Batman: the dark knight” (2008), we are introduced to the character Harvey Dent. He is the District Attorney of Gotham City. Everyone loves him, he is charming and good looking and most important is that he fights for justice.

According to Gould, the 1960s television show Batman was an unexpected cultural revolution because for children watching television in the 60s, the Batman TV series was a joyfully relaxing exercise for them. Also, this became a comedy classic and it was a cultural phenomenon in the 1960s. The Batman TV series was famous because this series has humor and a colorful cast of villains.

I don’t think Batman should kill The Joker because it would not be in Batman’s best interest. Now, hear me out. It is easy to name off differences between Batman and The Joker. To me it is even easier to find similarities between the two. Some similarities would include: dark pasts, no real family, creatures of the night, followers and supporters, suffering from depression and PTSD. I personally feel that they are often misunderstood. We know much of Batman’s history: his childhood, his family, how

As a child batman had it rough and the joker had it as rough as him. Both Batman and the Joker and lost their parents and they both play dress up and has traumatic events in their lives.

Batman is a dark and mysterious person but he knows the fine line between right and wrong By this I mean batman can tell when he needs to hurt someone or help them. For example,

Villains play a vital role in the plot of action films and keeps the action exciting for the viewer. Each villain is unique, however many are cut from the same cloth.

Specifically the Joker from the movie, The Dark Knight, and Darth Vader from “Star Wars: New Hope”. Both villains have forceful and necessary roles

My adoration of Batman procures from his skills in unarmed combat, deductive reasoning and as a detective. Somewhere in my mind I admire his courage and persistence too. Batman is an embodiment of principle and restraint. Throughout his 75 year run as a character he has never killed any of his foes. We see him struggle with the decision to kill issue after issue, always considering the fact that killing The Joker would save hundreds of lives. We see him express his rage and his desire to end his

There are many superhero movies with intriguing villains. More specifically in 2008, when a number of comics were produced into movies, including The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan’s interpretation of the Batman comics is more realistic. He portrays The Joker as a psychotic human, instead of a man that was in a “freak accident” to make him who he is. Everyone loves a villain and in The Dark Knight, the main point is the relationship between Batman and The Joker. This raises a commonly asked question

Everyone is tested in their lifetimes to find out who they truly are and what they’re capable of becoming. Someone may believe they exist on one end of spectrum but truly they exist in a grey era that is undefinable. Batman as a moral character is one note and his contemporary Harvey Dent maybe equally so. As an unknown man terrorizes their city, the two men’s interiors surface and Harvey Dent’s interior self is more ambiguous to where are he lies on the scale of justice. The Dark Knight is the Christopher

The city of Gotham was in ruins. The vampires had spread the plague all the way across the east half of Gotham. Batman and Robin raced across the city in the batmobile, stabbing wooden stakes into hearts of the vampires. Wonder Woman whipped her lasso like a beast strangling any vampires that dared to challenge her. Superman used his laser vision to destroy a nearby vampire demolishing a nearby shop. The vampire went screaming as it crashed through the window. “Come on,” Superman yelled over the

Harvey Dent, a fictional character from The Dark Knight trilogy, saved the city of Gotham from mobs and gangs, and helped them to survive and prosper as the Attorney General. Yet, because of his job, he was burned alive and became a villain of his own city, hinted as being the character “Too Faced”, who is an old-time villain of Batman. Dent eventually was remembered as a hero because Batman took the fall for his crimes in order to give Gotham the hero they need. Piggy died taking the blame for Ralph’s

Without villains movies, comics and games would not be an intersecting art form. Without these antagonist heroes like Batman won 't be the same without the Joker. Villains are important to the one we call the hero and one of the greatest Villains of all time is the Prince of crime himself the Joker. There is something about a maniacal clown going around a city, killing people for no reason other than just for fun people love. The joker is one the most recognizable fictional characters in the world

In the 2008 film The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan, it can be argued that the main character Batman is considered morally ambiguous, because even though he is a vigilante the way in which he does things does not always correspond with the law. Batman’s alter-ego Bruce Wayne is a billionaire who dedicates himself to protecting Gotham City from its criminal underworld and from his archenemy, The Joker. One of the reasons Batman can be considered ambiguous is because he does immoral things
