This essay will explore some of the theories commonly observed in criminology in relation to the 2005 hit movie Batman Begins. I chose a batman movie as they’re usually about lucrative criminals and batman himself is a notable criminologist. Batman and his “rogue gallery” as they are often called, also “super criminals” display similar behavior to what we see in the real worlds normal criminals. The movie begins with a young Bruce Wayne playing outside with his friend Rachael. Bruce steps on some

Batman is basically pinned to the ground; his neck is grasp tight by Ra’s Al Ghul’s iron grip. When Ra’s Al Ghul’s stares into Batman dying eyes and asks if he is afraid. Batman stops coping like if he accepts the death. He replies, yes but not of you. In a final twist Batman utilize his cape and flies out of the back of the train on a rip
Under the assumption that Superman acts at all intelligently, Superman would win effortlessly. Unfortunately, as the most frustratingly clueless and underachieving superhero ever conceived, Superman would probably lose. He has only himself to blame, really. The Amoral Battle If neither character was constrained by their ethical code, this is an uninteresting battle. Fighting at full strength, Superman would instantly and utterly annihilate Batman.

Both Rousseau and Ra’s Al Ghul from Batman Begins, believe that society is what corrupts man and that people must learn through necessity though Ra’s Al Ghul

Some philosophers have developed ways to determine what is ethical and what is not. This has led to several normative ethical theories describing how people are ought to live a moral life. Some of the most prominent of these theories have set the criteria for morality in very unique and peculiar ways. Two of which are the ethical egoistic theory and the utilitarian
self-conscience state as he is filthy and covered only in rags. Bruce Wayne enters a violent fight with several other prisoners and is placed in solitary confinement. When Wayne is placed in solitary, he meets Ra’s al Ghul, the leader of the League of Shadows vigilante syndicate. In this moment, Ra’s al Ghul defines the man Wayne should be while comparing him to common thieves and proceeds to offer him a proposition of apprenticeship in the League of Shadows to better understand the problems of society and
and is incredibly glaring in comparison. Also, I cannot get behind the idea of Ra’s Al Ghul being foolish enough to align himself with the Joker. Ra’s has the same mission as Batman; stop evildoers. So why on earth would he align himself with a psychopathic mass murder? I understand that they needed to get the ball rolling on the entire plot of the film, but this just seems like an unbelievably stupid thing for Ra’s Al Ghul to do. Finally, how did Red Hood know that Black Mask would break the Joker
while living in the crime-riddled streets of Gotham. “Growing up in a poor household and/or poor neighborhood may predispose a child to experience more traumas (Paxton et al. 2004) and to have fewer resources to buffer the negative impact of traumatic experiences, which in turn may contribute to a range of difficulties (Brooks-Gunn et al. 1995)” (The Role of Childhood Neglect and Childhood Poverty in Predicting Mental Health, Academic Achievement and Crime in Adulthood).

He decides to join the League of Shadows in order to learn martial arts. After his training with the League of Shadows, Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Shadows, tells Bruce to destroy Gotham. Bruce refuses, and destroy the League and Shadows, burning down their headquarters. Although the League of Shadows was an evil organization, Batman betrayed them. “Bruce Wayne
In prison Bruce Wayne meets a sharp dressed man by the name of Ra’s al Ghul, this man teaches Bruce martial arts and helps Bruce overcome his fear. Due to Ra’s al Ghul’s additional help and guidance he gave to Bruce, this makes him Bruce’s mentor. This helps Bruce become whole again and move on from his past tragedies.

rather than fighting crime with good, he fights it with more crime, since he acquired this behavior from those around him. Bane is able to be characterized by this theory because he attempts to carry on Ra’s al Ghul’s legacy by destroying Gotham. Since he wanted to directly associate with Ra’s al Ghul, he did not think that his actions were unreasonable, so he attempted to follow through in completing his plans to destroy Gotham. The control theory, according to the textbook, is the theory which views
Sometimes the hardest decisions are the smallest ones and sometimes either one will hurt us or benefit us. Forced to make a life & death decision Batman becomes driven by resentment, while the speaker of Frost’s poem also questions having made a particular choice of his own free will.

childhood friend Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes) what he almost did After realizing what he was about to do, Bruce Wayne disappeared and traveled the far east where he was mentored in martial arts by Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson) who is late revealed to be Ra’s Al Ghul.

To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.” When Bruce returned to Gotham he had a plan to save it with the help of Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) and one of

Ra’s had taught him everything he knows, but when he wanted to destroy Gotham, Bruce had no choice. Bruce first sought his guidance after his father and mother had died.

“A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.” Behind all the action in The Dark Knight Rises is an important portrayal of crime and deviance in society.
