  • How To Compare Gilgamesh To Batman

    1505 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout The Epic of Gilgamesh and Batman Returns the main characters incentives came from the loss of close loved ones. For Gilgamesh his friendship started when the gods created an equal to him called Enkidu. Aruru, the goddess of creation, put Enkidu on earth to teach Gilgamesh on how to be humble. Together they were seen as soul mates. Side by side with Enkidu, Gilgamesh destroys Humbaba, the monster of the Cedar Forest, and the bull sent from the gods to kill him. After overcoming these two heroic battles Enkidu gets terribly ill and dies. The author of The Epic of Gilgamesh says, “[Gilgamesh] seven days and nights I sat besides the body, weeping for Enkidu beside the body, and then I saw a worm fall out of his nose. Must I die too? Must Gilgamesh be like that? It was then I felt the fear of it in my belly. I roam the wilderness because of the fear. Enkidu, the companion whom I loved, is dirt, nothing but clay is Enkidu.” Gilgamesh, now fearing morality, does everything in his power to try to find immortality. Unlike Gilgamesh, Batman had other things to seek besides immortality. As a young boy Bruce Wayne, the person behind Batman’s identity, was walking home with his parents and got mugged; both of his parents died right before his eyes. In this very moment, his life took a drastic turn. His life purpose was to kill the man who caused him that

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.
