This is Bruce’s lowest point in the story, but he is given a beacon of hope by some of the other inmates in the pit. He learns of a boy that once made the climb out of the pit by making a jump that to every other man has been impossible. This jump gives Bruce a purpose. He recovers from his injury and trains his body to make the jump. News reports of the situation in Gotham motivate Bruce to try to return to Gotham before Bane destroys his city. The jump provides an opportunity to make the metaphorical rebirth my tarot reading had alluded to. According to The Wild Wood Tarot, the Eight of Vessels represents an opportunity for “looking at the past, acknowledging [a hero’s] mistakes and learning from them, [to] grow and attain new wisdom”(137). This is exactly what Bruce does. During the time in the pit he stops doubting himself and improves his physique, so he is both mentally and physically prepared for the jump.

    Bruce Wayne has many problems at the start of this film. His only love interest, Rachel, has been dead for years, yet he hasn’t been with another woman. His body is failing him, as is shown by the cane he has to use to walk around his own home. And for all he achieved, he has not gotten a shed of recognition for his actions. Bruce is struggling at a personal level at this point, and his reclusion is his way of avoiding the personal problems that are plaguing his life. At this point in the story his situation mostly resembles that of The Great Bear. Like the body in the crypt shown on this card Bruce “has been laid to rest, covered by earth and stone, and now waits to be reborn” (Ryan, Mark). Bruce’s reclusion is a temporary stage where he

It is speculated that the cause of Bruce Bechdel’s suicide is because he was unable to handle the contradiction between his false identity (as a heterosexual family-man) and his true identity (as a homosexual). Once the inevitable reveal of his true identity occurs, it is as if the death of his false identity was so real to him that it took him with it. Throughout the graphic novel, Bruce’s hidden identity will often reveal itself to the reader. For example: “He was an alchemist of appearance, a savant of surface, a Daedalus of décor” (6).

Then later saved Betty from an underground ruler then battled with the Chinese General Fang (Incredible Hulk #5). Yet, despite doing all this good, the Hulk was blamed for espionage and the Fantastic Four were called in to take him down (The Hulk vs. the Thing!). Another example of this clash is during the Avengers’ Initiative. Despite being a founding member and taking down multiple villains, the Avengers still did not trust the Hulk since he was too unpredictable (Journey Into Mystery #112). After losing to his friends the first time, the Hulk came back and fought against the Avengers and the Fantastic Four (Avengers #5). Even after helping the Avengers stop the a group’s attempt to eradicate human life, Hulk was still never fully back with the Avengers. Especially after the Hulk fought with Spider-Man, and against the Avengers again (Amazing Spider-Man #14).
