Many speculations have been made regarding the massacre taken place at a movie theatre in Aurora Colorado in 2012. In a night where the town people were supposed to enjoy the new release of “The Dark Knight Rises”, a person or a couple, decided to turn it into a deadly and unforgettable night for the movie-goers. The case of James Holmes, the suspect who was captured within minutes of the horrific event and whose picture was immediately plastered all over the news, left the nation with many questions unanswered and relatives of the victims devastated. People believe that the government and media are not being completely transparent about the investigation and the shooting itself. As we can see on the documentary “The James Holmes Conspiracy”,…
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…

Batman has been seen as a role model by people of all ages, especially when he succeeds in fighting his most elusive enemies through impressive combat skills and admirable gadgets. Batman is one of the most popular superheroes to this day, but just because he is well-known does not mean he is without faults; his imperfections make him more relatable and perfect, in a sense. In Marc DiPaolo’s book, “War, Politics, and Superheroes,” he elaborates on several controversial issues surrounding Batman in his first chapter, “Batman as Terrorist, Technocrat, and Feudal Lord,” such as his rocky relationship with women, the usage of Batman as a propaganda piece, his motives to save the city Batman has claimed as his own, and his personal life as Bruce Wayne. Batman is portrayed on the…
Batman Mortality Throughout The Dark Knight Returns, Batman faces not only the current batch of Gotham's criminals, but criminals from his past, the Gotham Police, and eventually Superman. On top of all of these outward enemies, time is certainly not on Batman's side. Batman has to consider and confront his own mortality while he tries to clean up Gotham City's unending criminal element. Frank Miller does this to show to the reader that while Batman has done and continues to do impressive feats as many superheroes do, he is still a human. A human no matter how legendary grows old with time and dies.…

Identifying the Issue Late at night on July 20, 2012, an eager crowd of roughly four hundred people streamed into a Century 16, movie theater in Aurora, Colorado to watch a midnight screening of the film, The Dark Knight Rises – the third movie of the new batman trilogy. Unnoticed by everyone else, one of the roughly for hundred people, James Eagan Holmes, a 6’3” male at the age of 25, also purchased his ticket and sat in the front row of the theater. About twenty minutes into the film, James rose out of his seat and left the building through an emergency exit that he propped open with a plastic, tablecloth holder.…
While Batman and Joker supposedly represent the entirely opposite traditional standards of good and evil respectively, both remain utterly alone and at odds with the populace regardless of their intent. Both characters hide their true identities, and possess significant detractors despite fighting for entirely different causes. At this point in the movie, a state of emergency, Batman is seen as a necessary protector of the city, and thus the publics sense of morality favors his actions. However, once the threat has passed and normalcy ensues, such a mindset is unlikely to continue, a fact The Joker points out. Herein lies an inherent sacrifice of living by unwavering ethics in a world dictated by…

Even though it can be easy to wish for a vigilante to save society from itself, even Batman in The Dark Knight, realizes his own darkness, and ability to be corrupted. Harvey Dent said, "“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” At the end of the previous movie Batman Begins Batman says, "As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting." Batman, at the end of The Dark Knight, sacrifices his own image, so that Harvey Dent can continue to be the cities "white knight.…

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.

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.…
