Batman and Superman are superheroes whose qualities are exaggerated in a way that is reminiscent of the gods and heroes in The Odyssey. In Fact, the superheroes from comic books emerge from the epic tradition. Epics, as you know, celebrate the great deeds of one or more legendary heroes. This epic hero is generally involved with a quest to overcome hardship, and he (and it usually is a "he") succeeds. The hero performs superhuman exploits in battle, often saving or founding a nation or the human race itself. Sound familiar? And even in terms of the superhero's body, with his bulging muscles and larger‐than‐life qualities, such figures evoke the images of Baroque masculinity.

Multitasking is said to be impossible to humans, but people do them all the time - even if subconsciously. In his article The Thematic Paradigm in Signs of Life in the U.S.A., Robert Ray expresses his opinion about the heroes in Hollywood films, and how Americans act when put against a hard decision. In his article, he claims that heroes can be divided into two categories; Official Heroes or Outlaw Heroes. He later claims that a hero can also be a mix of both of these, known as the Composite Hero. He also claims that in times when one has to make a hard decision, Americans act in one of three ways; either refuse to take sides and combine both, blurs the difference between the choices, or just laugh it off. These categories are well defined
The Dark Knight borrowed elements from Batman: The Killing Joke, a 1988 DC Comics graphic novel, which provides an origin story for the Joker. The connection between the two leads to a similar origin story of the creation of the Joker through the influence of Batman. Batman's interference in The Killing Joke causes the Joker to leap into a chemical vat, which severely disfigures him. In The Dark Knight, the Joker himself also has multiple testimonies on how he came to be. He sometimes blames his abusive and alcoholic father for creating his mutilated smile while in a drunken rage one night. The Joker also claims that after his wife’s face was mutilated, he pulled a razor on his own to comfort her by showing that her damaged appearance didn’t bother him. After carving his own cheeks, he says that, “she couldn’t stand the sight of (him).” This disturbing attempt to make her feel better makes causes worse, resulting in his wife leaving him, furthering his mental instability. Although the scars are present on The Dark Knight version of the Joker, the rest of his appearance is cosmetic in contrast to the physiological image of the Joker from the 1989 Batman film. The Joker in The Dark Knight applies chalk white makeup to his face and dark products to blacken the spaces around his eyes. He also dyes his greasy hair green rather than having the chemically bleached green hair follicles of the 1989 Joker who fell into the bubbling green substance. Their personalities differ mainly by the 1989 Joker being more comical while The Dark Knight Joker being more psychotic. The Joker from The Dark Knight calls himself an “agent of chaos” and wishes to drag everyone down to his level of insanity and corruption rather than just kill them
Somebody who had established higher power in their community. Somebody who tried to run from fate, and has the moment of recognition and understanding of their destiny. Batman. Even though he is considered the strong and powerful superhero of Gotham City, Batman's characteristic features show that he relates strongly to that of a "tragic" hero. In the beginning, the Batman is presented at a higher state of appreciation, even though the police see him as a vigilante. Despite his wealth, Batman, otherwise known as Bruce Wayne, is easily relatable to audiences, which makes it easy to sympathize and empathize with the character. Batman is in a constant battle within himself, trying to be the good guy, while defeating the bad guys. His morals prove true when he admits that he won't kill any of the many villians that cause destruction for Gotham City. But, because of this moral, sometimes the villians end up escaping and doing more harm then good. In the end, this interal chaos and internal battle is seen interally and externally through Batman. At the end of the most recent Batman series, The Dark Knight, his exit at the end of the movie is, in essence, his figurative death. Bruce Wayne wants to keep Gotham City safe. And with the "Batman" gone, villians will be least likely to continue to destroy and conquer.

Bruce Wayne hides his identity with his Batman mask, and the Joker hides his identity with his make-up. Or is he? The Joker may have just taken the identity as “The Joker” as his identity, dismissing whatever he was before whatever happened to him. This is also shown in the way he makes up stories about his childhood, and how he got his scars. The Joker could wear the make-up because it’s his identity, but he doesn’t wear the make-up, he is the make-up. If you go by one back story from the “The Killing Joke” comic book, it’s not even make-up. However, since we don’t actually know that much about the Joker, it could be
Why so serious? If I were to ask you that question six months ago, you wouldn’t understand the phrase. Now that The Dark Knight has been made though, most people will understand what I am talking about. Ever since The Dark Knight was created, the joker has been thrust back into the public eye. Most people only know the joker from the performances of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Jack Nicholson in the 1989 film Batman. Most people forget that the Joker has been a villain since 1940 in Batman #1 (spring edition). The Joker has been reinvented every decade since his first appearance. He started off as a homicidal maniac, then a criminal that was just a harmless nuisance to becoming a mass murdering, schizophrenic clown that we know today. He has been named number one on the Wizard’s list for one hundred all-time villains. In this speech I will tell you how the joker was created, the criminal career of the joker, and trademark characteristics of the joker.
Well, Batman is the only person capable of killing the Joker, so if anyone is responsible, it’s Batman. Now the only thing that stops Batman from killing the Joker is his famed moral code, or more appropriately as quoted from the Joker, his “misplaced sense of self-righteousness”. As the Joker himself acknowledges, Batman’s morals are misplaced. Killing is wrong, but not in this case, due to the Joker’s special circumstances. To understand better, we need to go back to what the whole point over here was, justice. The only way for the Joker to receive justice is to be killed, and the only one who can kill him is Batman. Therefore, I conclude, in the name of justice, Batman should kill the
He was faced to let the Joker murder a person everyday he didn't come forward or risk his secret identity and the people in his life get killed.

You kill for money.” Which is true, Batman is there to save innocent people and get rid of the criminals like the Joker. Batman decides to still keep his identity a secret. Batman should have just came forward so that innocent people wouldn't have had to

When watching a superhero movie you usually focus on how the superhero is great and always saves the world. We don't usually pay as much attention to the villain as we do with the hero.
