Eulogy Speech
Batman Eulogy
Ladies, gentlemen and children, we have gathered here to honor our fallen hero, Batman.
We never knew his real name, and now we never will.
We always called this brave hero, Batman. Few knew his real identity, and they have reframed from sharing this information with the public, even as police commissioner, I James Gordon, never knew his real identity.
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

this dark time. The world needs us to be honest and true. Maybe that was Batman's goal, to unite us. Maybe Batman's true powers were his strength, love of his city and the people in it, and the size of his heart. Batman's actions were the measurement of his humanity, his love for his people. And that, is what we will miss most of all. When we lost Batman, his body was left as a sign of courage, a sacrifice. The greatest sacrifice. The evil men that stole our hero from us did this as a threat, an attempt to shake up the people of Gotham. Do not let this evil ruin us. Do not mourn the Batman. Do not be discouraged or feel lost. Instead, lets rise up and become icons ourselves. We cannot be the Batman, nor do we aim to replace him, but we aim to follow what he wanted all along, the unification and strength of the people of Gotham. Let your love for humanity grow, and your hearts swell, so much that it might surpass his. Do not let his death destroy all the bright, good, and kind things we see in this world. Though the death of Batman was a loss for us all, we have also had a victory against the cruel and evil hatred we have in this world. Because now we are a team, we now work together to go against all forces of evil that will come our way in the future. No longer do we hid behind Batman and leave our lives in his hands, we now have the courage to fight for ourselves. Batman saved our lives - all of our lives.
In an attempt to show our gratitude to him, let us make this day an memorial that will always stand in his honor. Teach your children about the Batman and the sacrifices he made for each and every one of us. Tell your children that without this man, the city would not be like it is today, chances are, none of us would be alive if it hadn't been for Batman. Tell your children not to honor the Batman with kind words, though words may be nice, actions say what words cannot. Tell your children to act like Batman, to always put others before themselves, to sacrifice for those in need. Let us send this message out of just Gotham, let us share our message with every one in attempts that we can bring the world together and fight back against the evil that walks among us. Let us sacrifice the way Batman always did for
us. We never knew his real name, and now we never will. However, his name is also yours, because we are all now the Batman, he is the representation of our strength and unification. Let the memory of the Batman last forever. Let us never forget the man who changed our lives perminately.
In conclusion my expectations were met because we all want to be a certain hero in our everyday lives but sometimes don’t know which one is actually the better and more positive one. Strength, power, intelligence, and authority are the most important things the outlaw hero and official hero will bring even if they are above a certain rule or really beneath it. Outlaws are not always the bad guys, but are not always the good guys either. In this case Batman is the good guy disguised as the bad guy. Official heroes are always the good guys no matter the circumstance. Superman in this case is the good guy disguised as the actual good guy. Being above the law or against it, official heroes and outlaw heroes will always paint the picture that you can be strong, powerful, intelligent, and have the authority you deserve.
At first thought you may think it’s hard to consider Batman as being a Christ-like figure. In The Dark Knight Returns the character Batman expresses a large amount of violence and an unforgiving personality which is unusual for a superhero. Batman encounters many hard and crucial decisions that he must make throughout. For instance, the encounter
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
In origin, a hero is an archetype character that refers to protectors, warriors, or god-like man who protects humanity. For instance, Hercules was a hero in Greek mythology. In modern culture, heroism is recognized as an extremely popular trait that a character can possess. In this case, Bat Man, also referred to as The Dark Knight, is indisputably idealized as a hero. Unlike most superheros in comicbooks culture, Bat Man is a simple human being with absolutely no superpowers. Regardless of that, he as a simple human being still exhibits the courage, intelligence, talent and the necessary skills in fighting crime and defeating potentially hazardous villains seeking to either rule the world or cause destruction. In detail, Bat Man’s real name is Bruce Wayne. Bruce was 10 years old when his parents were murdered which fundamentally change his perception about the world. After his parents’ death, Bruce inherited a multibillion dollar company that his father created before his birth, which explains why he has the most advanced technology to help him fight crime. While growing up, Bruce trained himself to fight and had been working out. One night, he came to the conclusion that Gotham city is falling into the hands of criminals. For that reason, he convinced himself that it should be his obligation to prevent it, although he needed a hero identity to hide his real identity
Batman was created after Detective Comics (D.C.) wanted a new super hero to follow-up after Superman. In May of 1933, Bob Kane and Bill Finger created Batman. Bob was born on October 24, 1915 and died November 3, 1998. Bill was born February 8, 1914 and died January 1974. Bill always loved comics as a child and still when he went to high school at DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx New York. He and Bob went to the same high school but never socialized because they were in different classes. Bob meet Bill when Bill was working as a shoe salesman. They worked on many comics together for kids comic books and local newspapers. When they found out that Detective Comics (D.C.) wanted a new super hero they went to work. One day Bob came to Bill with a character, Batman. Bill liked the idea but said it looked too much like Superman. The original illustration had a Robin style mask and red outfit. So Bob took a Webster’s Dictionary and found a picture of a bat. He added bat ears to the mask, giving the full mask a more mysterious look. He changed the colors to black and yellow and added a cape that was cut like bat wings. When writing the comics Bill made Batman’s personality a...
Although Miller’s Depiction of Batman in The Dark Knight Returns was very extreme and surprising to many he still perceives Batman to his audience as Ethical. Overall Batman is helping the the innocent citizens in Gotham City by protecting them and lowering the crime rates that arose while he was gone. He is helping many people by removing the criminals from the streets even if some of his ways of doing so may be seen as vicious. He is able to get the job done that the police officers are unable to get control of and he is able to remove many criminals from the streets of Gotham. Batman is ethical and he is very important to Gotham, without his return Gotham would be overrun with criminals that could eventually take over. Although he does not kill he is able to take back control of Gotham like he never left. Batman is a hero who has the the entire city on his mind while fighting crime and doing the thing he does best, protect
...t up in his honor. Batman gets this statue because he is worthy of this honor for all that he has done for Gotham City.
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
Batman is Gotham’s Dark Knight because even though he fights for justice for the people, he does it while wearing a mask. The people often question whether Batman is a hero because they constantly blame him for the misfortune that plagues the city. For example, the Joker announces that people will die every day unless Batman reveals his identity and targets Commissioner Loeb and the judge presiding over the trial. However, Batman strives to catch villains and hand them over to the police because he still has faith in society. The reason he acts outside the law is because his interpretation of illegal behavior is different from society’s understanding. He breaks minor laws to punish greater crimes, such as when he captures Lau to testify against the Joker. At the end of the movie, Gordon states that Batman “is not a hero but a silent guardian and a watchful protector” (Karounos). The Dark Knight claims that while vigilante justice is illegal, it is sometimes necessary to deal with certain types of criminals.
HI i’m harleen quinton also known as Harlequin and i maybe the jokers assistant but i am NOT bad let me explain.
The suspense created in all the films was breathe-taking and none of us were ever tired of watching the films. All of us are still up to have a Batman Trilogy Marathon. The amalgamation of an intelligent man and everyone’s favourite superhero Batman is something we would cherish all our
In the inky blackness, glistening lights shone bright. Making it easy to see the towering buildings of Gotham City. Overlooking the glittering city, stood the dark brooding hero known as Batman. His black, slick cape billowed with the breeze, as his alert eyes watched for trouble. His costume was charcoal gray, with his his yellow and black emblem on the top center of his chest. The emblem was of the creature of the night, the cave dweller, the bat. His cowl, just like his cape was dark black. He wears his dark yellow utility belt, it's contents have saved him more than can be counted. Now his eyes, they're cold and dark. If you were to look at his eyes, they would make you stop dead. He wore all of his attire, not just to hide his identity, but to also strike fear in the hearts of criminals.
He still will fight crime and save Gotham from itself. He wants to strike fear into the criminals that try to harm its citizens. The last part it directly (in the game to Tim Drake aka 3rd Robin. Man there is a lot. And one is a girl!!!)
For Batman, he is a famous person with high social class. His image is a successful businessman and on the other hand he is a hero to save the city. He is very strong and well body shape. When he catches the thief, he acts independently. He will not ask for help and refuse the others involve although he gets hurt. He is very clever and very calm. He will first plan before he takes action.
To be cast as Gotham cities crime fighting hero Christian Bale need only add his life values to depict the charter in a true light. Bale not only added truth and vigor to the hero he added a dark interpretation to the protagonist. Christopher Nolan further added that Bales determination to be more than a hero in real life allowed for the actor and the character to become one. During the third act “the resolution” Police chief Jim Gordon explains, “Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero.
