When you think of developmental psychology what major names come to the forefront of your mind? Sigmund Freud? Erik Erikson? Jean Piaget? Maybe even Lev Vygotsky. Development is a very prominent aspect in psychology, made up of a multitude of theories.

(four to five years old), children discover their genitals and begins to obsess with their parent of the opposite sex (son to mother, daughter to father).

Freud would say that not only were Bruce’s dreams forms of symbolism, but also, more significantly and recognizably, Batman’s Batsuit and name.

Another form of analysis that Freud could make about Batman and his life is by using…
