The Dark Night Rises (Batman) What is The Dark Night Rises? The Dark Night Rises is a version of an old cartoon character, named Batman, which was created in the year of 1939 in the month of May, and was made by a group called DC Comics. Bob Kane and Bill Finger were the people that thought up and made Batman. “Batman’s first appearance was in Detective Comics #27”, according to (Who really created Batman?). Batman’s name is Bruce Wayne when he is not fighting crime and saving people, but how did he become Batman? Bruce had come from a rich family where his father Thomas Wayne, who was married to Martha Wayne, owned a company called Wayne Enterprises. Bruce’s parents were murdered in an alleyway while walking home from the theatre. Bruce was sad as a child, but as he grew up, being raised by his butler named Alfred, he became enraged that the murder happened to where he started to become the Batman. Bruce inherited the company once he was old enough to run the company. Bruce secretly used some of the money he earned to buy equipment and enhancements, so that he could fight crime. In the year of 1940, new villain type characters were introduced such as the Joker and Catwoman. Joker and Catwoman were both enemies of Batman. Batman previously fought thugs and thieves until he met Joker and Catwoman. Catwoman was just one of the top thieves that stole things from Bruce, even though she knew he was Batman. Joker was Batman’s arch nemesis. Joker stole, made people steal for him, and murdered people with laughing gas. Batman found a cure for the laughing gas.

One reason why The Dark Knight Rises is one of the best movies is because, it features Bane. Although he does not have the original ability that the comic Bane had, in which he is super strong because of the drug, Venom, he instead has an amazing fighting ability due to being trained by a leader of assassin’s named Ra’s al ghul, who also trained Batman, and is super strong. In (Ebert), he says, “a villain named Bane whose Hannibal Lecterish face muzzle robs him of his personality”, which implies that he is not the same as the original comic book Bane. Bane is also played by Tom Hardy, who played in movies such as Mad Max and many more. Another reason why Batman, The Dark Knight Rises, is one of the best superhero movies is because, it also features Christian Bale (Batman, The Dark Knight), who plays in Empire of the Sun and many others. A third reason why Batman, The Dark Knight Rises one of the best superhero movies is because, “the movies sold was over a $3.7 million dollars’ worth of movies”, according to (Who really created Batman?). The final reason why Batman is one of the best superhero movies produced is because, for the most part they go with the story line from the comic. This has an exception with a few of the characters in the movie such as Bane or Robin, which is Batman’s adopted son in the comic series that he begins to train after Robin discovers the Batcave.

    In order for Bruce Wayne to implement his own brand of justice and provide Gotham with the hope necessary for their development as a society, he had to essentially sacrifice his own ignorance to the world after being stripped of his childhood. Despite escaping death, Bruce Wayne had undergone a "rebirth" through the teachings of Ra's Al Gul which provides the hero with newly found knowledge and courage that would allow him to defeat the darkness that has plagued Gotham throughout the years. Due to his newly discovered abilities, Batman dedicated both his mind and body to others by battling a variety of villains in order to ensure that the people of Gotham would have the opportunities of hope and happiness that he failed to truly experience. Bruce Wayne had followed the archetype of both a hero and a victim of God because he chose to embrace his own tragedy by becoming the legendary Batman in order to protect and ultimately guide others from outside…

    Looking from the other side how come Batman still remains to be such a fascinating superhero whose fame isn’t fading regardless not possessing the superhuman powers? So, naturally :-), I decided to compare these two superheroes in several categories and then to decide which one is better. 1. Round 1-The Technology; Every true fan of Batman knows that this superhero possesses a very wide range of the most various hi-technology equipment, due to the fact that Bruce Wayne is a wealthy man, which money can be put to good use when fighting off Superman. Well, looking from the other side, Superman has the mighty kryptonite, despite that fact in a classic adaptation of the comic book “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2”, we actually have the opportunity to see that Batman was farther than able to go toe-to-toe with Superman by using its super- powered mechanical…

    Even though it can be easy to wish for a vigilante to save society from itself, even Batman in The Dark Knight, realizes his own darkness, and ability to be corrupted. Harvey Dent said, "“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” At the end of the previous movie Batman Begins Batman says, "As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting." Batman, at the end of The Dark Knight, sacrifices his own image, so that Harvey Dent can continue to be the cities "white knight.…

    Symbolism is another significant portion in Bruce Wayne’s life as Batman. Freud would say that not only were Bruce’s dreams forms of symbolism, but also, more significantly and recognizably, Batman’s Batsuit and name. As previously stated, Bruce came up with the batsuit when seeing a swarm of bats. He then decided on the name because he felt that villains would also fear bat, as they are a symbol of the night. Another form of analysis that Freud could make about Batman and his life is by using his idea of the doctrine of opposites.…

    Hollywood is such a competitive place, actors’ jobs are simply to make movies and such, however, this is not exactly a stable job. The Hollywood limelight is such a competitive place, unfortunately, some people who actually have what it takes to make it big, don't get their chance simply because, there are some who are really just more famous, but just because they're famous, doesn't mean they're exceptionally talented.

He is arguably one of the greatest superheroes ever created. He fights crime and faces some of the most insane villains in comic book history. What makes him stand out from the rest is that, as Wikipedia states, “unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers; rather, he relies on his genius intellect, physical prowess, martial arts abilities, detective skills, science and technology, vast wealth, intimidation, and indomitable will.”…
