Why Batman is the greatest superhero…Part 2

I think Batman is loved by many because he is a dark and complicated character. He is not a boy scout like Superman, he will break the rules in order to get to the truth, but he will not kill. He works in the shadows and does not look for fame and glory. For him, Bruce Wayne is the act and Batman is who he really is.

Batman is a character with many different complex issues; one could say he’s a schizophrenic. There are two very different personalities that he embodies; one is Bruce Wayne the millionaire playboy who goes around buying expensive sports cars, buying things that aren’t for sale and dating supermodels. The other is this dark avenger of the night who instils fear in criminals and most normal people are afraid of him, he tries to bring justice to an unjust world.

One of the reasons why he is so loved even more than characters like Superman, is because he is damaged, and that shows to us that he is just a man, maybe will love him so much because we all aspire to have the will and determination of Batman.
