“It’s not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me” -Batman. A childhood hero to many people, Batman has been a character to shatter reality from behind the walls of fiction. This superhero gives hope to people and challenges the ideology the we’re only human. Batman defies the very limits of what society believes humans have. To understand whether Batman’s limits can be reached in reality, one must understand the process in which Batman went through to become Batman. Given what Batman had at his disposal, the idea of a person achieving the same level as Batman is not so far-fetched. Now, Batman did not magically just appear from thin air. What drives him to do what he does? Tragedy. Batman before Batman was a normal rich boy named
Tummo meditation allows Bruce to limit the required oxygen needed to survive. He gained the ability to have complete control over his mental functions. If need be, he learned to slip into a coma to conserve energy. Bruce even has control over his body temperature. This technique can allow the altering of metabolic rates. This is an actual technic used by a man who ran a marathon in 40 degrees Celsius without a drop of water. This man lost 14 pounds during the run and was perfectly fine afterwards, excluding the bruising of his feet from the worn-out
It established that Batman could bench 1 thousand pounds (454 kg) and leg press 2.5 thousand pounds (1,134 kg). The weight provided is on par with the world records for both respective exercises’. Being able to do this and still be fast and agile enough to keep up with the fastest athletes in the world. In the book “Becoming Batman: the Possibility of a Superhero” it is hypothesized the workout is possible given a determined trainer, 4,000 calories a day, 20 years, an insane sleeping schedule, and a strict study and workout schedule (Zehr, 2008). However, many fitness experts believe that this workout would basically kill a person. So far nothing stated above seems impossible for someone to do in reality, as long as that person has the necessary resources to achieve the same level as Batman. Until it is brought to light that everything he did after leaving the FBI was done in only 5 years. Bruce came back to his home in Gotham, and became Batman, at the age of 25. How did he achieve so much in so little time? Bruce adopted the Uberman sleep
But I do know one thing, Batman was there for us when we needed him the most. He separated us from our darkest nightmares every night. He guarded our houses and protected our families, our friends, and our children. Batman stood up for what he believed, he always had us, the people of Gotham in his best interest. What more could we have asked Batman to do? I could stand up here and say "I never knew the man," but that might not be the truth. During my life, I have known many men, many men who are full of strength, courage, and virtue. Any of these men could have been the Batman and I would have never been aware. However good men still walk among us today, even without Batman. These good men and women are my hope, my consolation for
Therefore, is a misunderstood outcast, rather than valued, kingly hero. However If batman isn't a hero because of the damage he does, then none of the superheroes are heroes. Superman does damage to buildings roads people, even he could be considered an anti hero by these terms. Batman's motivation is revenge but the fact is he isn't going after black people or something. He saw what happened to him and he was motivated to stop it from happening
We are currently living in the Golden Age of Superheroes. They dominate our cultural life, and have become seemingly permanent fixtures in modern media. Since X-Men burst onto the screen fifteen years ago, we have witnessed the release of over forty superhero movies. By 2020 we will have seen the release of more than twenty-five more. Today, the much anticipated film Superman vs. Batman has come to theaters. Though a plethora of superhero movies have been released, it is to the dissatisfaction of many, having long been exhausted by the stories of the Hulk, Batman, and Spider-man. Although I must agree that it is quite easy to get bored with the constant action, and flashing colors of these films, if one looks deep enough into the story they will discover universal themes and metaphors. Though they may be fighting off alien invasions, these heroes are also battling with their personal challenges, challenges which we can
Batman is regarded as one of America's most loved heroes, despite his lack of super powers. This is perhaps why he is thought to be a more realistic char...
If Batman alone was tasked with saving the world, we would all die. If Batman was tasked with saving a cat from a rabid dog, the cat would die. If Batman was tasked with walking an old women across the street, she would trip over his cape and break her hip. Batman is an inferior “superhero” - and that is reality. Here is why:
Firstly, the movie presents the world of Gotham City, urban environment similar in many ways to that found in many modern, American cities. Gotham has many social problems and is filled with the same deviant and criminal activity that often are present in every city. In Gotham the crime is high, also the police are corrupted also there are different culture and rules in the city that lead to deviant culture. But there is Batman that fight over time in a war between justice also the crime.
The creation of Batman doesn't start off right away with an orphaned eight year old, known as Bruce Wayne putting the
Batman changes in his storyline because of the death of his parents. He then goes to some mountain place (I think the Himalayas) and then trains with Ra’s al Ghul. He becomes a league of assassin member. He then goes back to gotham city and has dick grayson as his sidekick. He Has alfred help him and has really awesome and helpful gadgets. He becomes an awesome vigilante and defeats a bunch of villains and saves gotham numerous times. This was wrote by me. Randall Lee Rongved.
Bruce Wayne uses all of the strength he possesses in order to keep Batman from being free despite his relentless struggles to break free from the chains
...s from the people around him. He knew only to show the face of a hero and not of a multi-millionaire who craved the attention, so in fact Batman and Bruce Wayne are completely different characters.
One’s childhood, how and who one was brought up greatly impacts who one becomes. Both Key Man and Batman grew up without their parents for the majority of their childhood. Key Man never knew his biological parents and sadly his adopted parents were terrible, constantly talking down to him and treating him absolutely horrendously. As for Batman, both of his parents died when he was around the age of eight, leaving him in the care of the family butler, Alfred. Although every great superhero tends to have a depressing backstory, no hero is complete without their special abilities.
He survived all the ordeals and living through death, he returns to Gotham with the elixir of hope and change. Bruce Wayne does not only bring a powerful change for himself but he brings a powerful change of the hearts and minds of all Gotham citizens. The citizens of Gotham now have faith to fight corruption, and for once, have a high rate to actually win. Knowing they have a might ally with them. Batman Begins closes in unprejudiced. For we all know they are several more battles to fight. Such as, criminals to conquered and arch- enemies to pursue. The birth of Batman has just ended but, but the Legend has just
Batman was about different characters and how they developed into heroes, damsels in distress, or into a villains. If you don’t fit the social norms people think of you as a freak that, or shouldn’t have a place in society. Bruce Wayne had the alter ego Batman, Batman was everything that society wasn’t able to accept, but Bruce was the perfect upper class social lite that was always giving parties to raise money for charities. He was the perfect gentleman. In Batman’s fight for justice he was able to clean up the streets of Gotham City, and bring the Joker down for all the bad things he had done, even killing Bruce’s mother and father after all those years. Batman at night, Bruce Wayne by day, two totally different people sharing the same body and the same reason why they did the things they did. Bruce Wayne was a victim of the city in which he lives, with the death of his mother and father, this was the beginning for him to rid Gotham City of its
Bruce Wayne was a poor kid from a poor city. His family was killed and he decides to fight crime, similar to Spider Man. Only Batman, some how got extremely rich to own his own cave, custom Bat Mobile, and have some sweet gadgets. I don’t know a lot about Batman, but I know enough that money doesn’t grow on trees. Besides, even if he did get the money reasonably, there would be other flaws. For example, there is no way he built his car him self. He had to have had a body shop customize it. And if this were the case, it wouldn’t be too hard for Joker or someone to find out...
The plot of Batman Begins mainly focuses on the origins and psychology behind Batman, and how he copes with the struggles he faces. One major thing that changed the course of the story, was the death of the Thomas and Martha Wayne. It formed an emotion change in the story that effects Bruce Wayne and all of Gotham to arise the struggles and problems that will be faced in the rest of the movie. Another key point in the story was the seven-year disappearance of Bruce Wayne. When in the Chinese prison it would also discipline him, which was something that he hadn’t had much of before. The meeting of Ras Al Ghul and his further training were also key experiences to develop Bruce Wayne into Batman. These were the some of the building blocks in the plot. The plot of The Dark Knight was very different to Batman Begins. The main plot is that Batman has limits and Gotham needed a different hero, whereas, in Batman Begins, Batman was the hero and didn’t think he had any limits. The foundation of the Dark Knight was more of what had happened in the few absent years between the two movies, and not what would happen. The
