He gave up all his self respect and pride which is difficult for any individual to succumb to as no one wants to be the murder of their own…
He was pessimistic toward everything except himself. Even in the celebration day, he assumed all the people, who were excited and happy, were just unintelligent or in his own words “hicks”. He got stuck on one day which means he kept waking up the same day over and over. After realizing that he wasn’t mentally or physically ill, he decided to use the advantage of his situation to gain pleasure and when he didn’t succeed on that he tried to kill himself. After unsuccessful several suicide attempts and realizing he is immortal, he started to accept himself and start living in the moment.…
In order to save the "dying" city of Gotham from the criminal underworld, poverty, and corruption within the police department, Bruce returns to the root of all his misery as a changed man; the identity of Batman was established to prevent anyone else from experiencing the pain and suffering he had endured as a child while the normal Bruce Wayne returns to his "throne" at Wayne Enterprises in order to gain the funding needed for new technology such as the bat-mobile and upgrading the suit as well as using his influence to support individuals such as Harvey Dent who had gained the title of the "White Knight" due to being able to achieve justice during the day without a mask. Despite his vigilantly approach towards establishing law and order, Batman is able to maintain his sanity by acknowledging a specific honor code that prevents him from using deadly force or resorting to killing criminals such as the Joker despite his ruthless and unpredictable nature to harm others for his own enjoyment. What makes Batman an ideal hero is his heart and courage because he refuses to be thanked or acknowledged for his role in justice. As a result, Bruce Wayne actually tries to distant himself from the caped crusader by essentially hiding in pain site and acting like the cocky "Billionaire Playboy" who…
He was like a pilgrim who goes on a journey for both tranquility and adventure because he had to escape from the lifestyle he was living, and journey into a world in which he was more comfortable with, yet having a good time exploring at the same time. He did not harm anyone, and he was only doing this for self reasons and also he kept to himself for the majority of the time he was alive. Even when he…
He was curious about the parallel life that he could have lived. In conclusion, there are many skills needed for surviving dystopic worlds, but curiosity, intelligence, and determination seem to be the most important ones in order not to become like the masses in a dystopian society. These traits may not save your life as we see with Winston in “1984” or John in “Brave New World” but they give us hope for individuality and freedom in horrible circumstances. But, we know that surviving in a dystopic world is hard, even if they have and practice these…
Maybe he wanted to kill those kids because they weren’t like him, or because he knew he wasn’t like them. I believe he felt the pressures of the world. He became depressed from not getting what he wanted in life. In the end, he wanted a legacy, and that was his only cure for his own…
He is someone who doesn’t care about the people close to him, so unprepared for the wild, and trying to escape the problems that were brought up upon him. By being a reckless idiot, it shows that many things could have been prevented if he had the help and care that he needed. If you decide to do something that you think would not affect somebody else, rethink that, because everything you do has an effect on someone…
Alright, this time nothing’s gonna stop me from this. Guess who was my first thought after I saw this task. Bingo! Heath Ledger’s Joker. For me, The Dark Knight is not just another ridiculous superhero story, like ‘Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice’*, but the whole philosophy behind.…
Superman and Me “I refused to fail. I was smart. I was arrogant. I was lucky……” -Sherman Alexie Jr. In the essay ‘Superman and Me’ by Sherman Alexie Jr, he talks about the struggles growing up from his childhood.…
He became convinced that all men were stupid and violent. It was only after observing them and being rejected by them when he truly wanted to hurt them out of…
The character of Batman is considered to be one of the world’s classic and modern day superhero. His story has taken on many different forms from comics, to TV series, and to today’s modern cinematography. However, I want to discuss the story of Batman and its famous characters based off of the 2000’s version of the current films. We have all come to know Batman as a vigilante who fights bad people as he conceals his true identity as Gotham’s renowned playboy and millionaire, Bruce Wayne. I want to use the personas of Bruce Wayne, Batman, and the well-known villains of this universe because of how they relate to the many ideas used in psychology.…
How did Batman get so popular? It all started in 1939. “In 1939, National Comics (later to become DC Comics), was looking for a new super hero—a character who could build on the success of Superman” (Batman at 75: Highlights in the Life of the Caped Crusader). Editor Vin Sullivan asked Bob Kane to create a hero. Batman first started as an idea from writer Bill Finger and artist Bob Kane.…
Batman’s biggest nemesis is the Joker, and the two could never be anymore different, but one without the other could not exist. In one movie, the Joker even comes out and says “he’s just too fun” and Batman cannot…
The Dark Knight is an engrossing tragedy film that leaps beyond its origins. Batman is not the comic character, that you spent many nights reading his comic book anymore. Because of the amazing performances, the writing, the direction, and the technical quality of the entire production, this movie created characters we come to care about. By putting all the right elements in play, this movie had given the character of Batman a literary merit. This movie is not simply present the good and evil tale.…
Intriguing heroes are plenty, villains, not so many. However, the ‘Batman’ universe gave the world a menacing yet fascinating super villain with a chalk white face, green hair, and a fear inducing Glasgow smile. Unlike the many other fictional villains who petrified the world with super powers and super weapons, this man was able to instil gut wrenching fear by virtue of his “strange” personality. It is for this very reason that the “Joker” is such a captivating and interesting character to study. One way to understand the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of the Joker’s personality is through the Psychoanalytic approach.…
