Comparing Batman And The Raven

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.

In a city where crime and death are a daily guest and where everyone is in desperate need of a hero, Bruce Wayne grew tired of watching all of the crime spree out of control and decided to do something about it. He already helped a lot with his company giving to charities, feeding the homeless, and many other things, but it just wasn’t enough. For every homeless person or child he fed another was robbed, killed, or beaten. The crime was just too much and the police

While playing in his family garden Bruce Wayne accidentally falls down a hidden well. Bruce, injured from the fall hears strange noises coming from a shadowy part of the well. Hundreds of bats emerge from the shadow and swarm the young boy. Bruce Wayne wakes up. The memory was just a nightmare. He still carries his childhood fear with him. The bats are Bruce Waynes external tormentors that conform to the shadow archetype.” Which tells us that Bruce uses his deepest fear to take on his enemies and puts fear into them as well.

He also traditionally has green hair and red lips, to complete the looks of the psycho clown.” (Danson Web) The Joker is every bit as intimidating as Batman maybe even a little more. The other villains fear him because of how crazy he is and how he doesn’t have any remorse for all the crime and wrong doing he is responsible for. He just like being crazy for no apparent reason. On their second encounter The joker makes batman make the hardest decision of his life, he made him choose who’s life to save, the woman he loved or his best friend who is also the district attorney. Batman saved Harvey Dent his best friend because he had to, if not Gotham would have fallen. That decision broke batman, but didn’t make him give up it only made him fill with rage towards the joker. Later on their third and last encounter batman was yet again faced with another difficult decision, this one far worse than the last. The joker had planted a
