Matt Morris claims that "the story of Batman is a great cautionary tale concerning the price we risk paying if we are unable to keep things in balance". He cautions that we should not take Batman's "lessons to heart, and exercise as much care as we can not to let our work, and our service to the world, take away from us the most basic necessities of a good and happy life”. The Batman series is about Bruce Wayne, a billionaire playboy who, under the guise of a high-tech anthropomorphic bat, takes it on himself to protect the residents of Gotham City from the antagonistic forces which plague it. This is an enormous responsibility, one which comes with constants affronts to his physical and psychological well-being, as well as an inherent sense

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) is a superhero epic of a scope hard to explain in a few short paragraphs. It is the third film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. This film takes place over the course several months, primarily in the fictional Gotham City, an American city which had until recently been rife with crime and corruption which had made great progress in these areas due to the events in the previous films.

In the earliest 1940 's superhero films started to become popular on the big screens. One of these popular films is known as Batman, which came out first as a comic book called "The Killing Joke". Batman is considered to be a superhero possessing great talents and for being a true example of hope towards Gotham city. Although these superheroes are one of the main characters in movies, they also have enemies to confront with which are also known as super villains. In this case, the Joker known for his criminal mastermind plays an important role as a villain. Having a huge impact through films, film viewers have had the chance to appreciate different versions of the Batman 's movies. The Joker, being one of the most classical villains in DC Universe is portrayed in different aspects. Analyzing Tim Burton 's Batman (1989) and Christopher Nolan 's The Dark Knight (2008), viewers can assimilate but also differentiate the Joker in couple ways.
Camera work plays a key role in establishing Nolan's style in the opening scenes of The Dark Knight. The different shots Nolan uses gives the audience a deeper understanding of the direction in which the film is going. We are introduced to the film with an establishing shot of Gotham City, as the camera zooms in on one particular building. This helps establish the location and setting, as there are several skyscrapers present and it is day time. The next important shot in the opening scenes is when the camera zooms in on a man's lower back and mask, standing at the corner of a road. Nolan uses this shot to signal to the audience that this man is involved, he is in the centre of the frame therefore he will be important.
Bruce Wayne, Batman’s secret identity, is an American billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and owner of Wayne Enterprises. Batman is one of the most well-known and well-liked superheroes of all time probably because of all of the comics, TV shows, movies and video games with him in it. Many are interested in Batman mainly because he is human, has no super powers and no special abilities just like a normal person but continues in many super human things using his gadgets, a body suit and a brilliant mind.

Batman, a centralized role model towards many fans in the U.S and around the world has an origin that no comic can surpass. As a boy, he witnessed the gruesome murder of parents outside an opera house. The murder of his parents gave him the optimism to wreak vengeance on ones who broke the law; hence the fact that he resolved to never kill anyone, but rely on his physical capabilities to bring all the criminals of gotham city to justice. Batman’s portrayal in media has become an astounding topic to explore throughout the years. His costumes, physical characteristics, background story, and interactions with individuals plays a huge role in the differences and similarities evidently in Batman Begins and Batman: Arkham Knight.

It is undeniable that both Batman Begins and Star Wars IV: A New Hope follow the famous formula known as the Hero's Journey. Within both of these movies, there are similarities and differences concerning the path that the hero takes. Both live in a city (or galaxy) where evil is present and very little is being done to stop the villains. Another similarity between the two movies is that both Bruce and Luke grow up most of their lives without knowing their parents as they are dead (or partially dead in Luke's case). When both are given an opportunity to be called to adventure, they both reject because they think they are not significant to make a difference in their cause. Luke considers himself just a farming boy who does not have the ability to save the entire galaxy
Wow… I don’t even know where to start with my review of “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Zack Snyder and the rest of his filmmaking crew have truly shown his utter disregard of the source material when it comes to at least Batman in this heaping mess of a film. We have a rather listless and mopey Superman mixing it up with a trigger-happy Dark Knight who goes against everything he ever stood for in the canonical comic books he’s based off of. They’re all angry and they’re just not going to take it from Jesse Eisenberg’s over-the-top annoying and crazy-on-the-surface Lex Luthor.
can deny the fact that, that Bond is it's own genre and an on going
