The Batman

Batman

Everyone knows the hero The Batman, Caped Crusader, The Dark Knight, and The Worlds Greatest Detective. I want to tell all the people that don’t already know the origins of batman, skills and abilities that make him a great hero, and the cultural impact.

As a little boy Bruce Wayne was coming out of a theater with his parents, Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha as they were walking to their car both of Bruce Wayne parents gets murdered by a mugger in front of his very eyes. This horrible tragedy in his life drives him to fight crime in Gotham City. He knows that robbers and muggers wouldn’t be afraid of him because he’s a man, so he thinks of a symbol that he was afraid of all his life (a bat) and then he becomes Batman.

Every super hero has some sort of skills that help him. Batman is a superhero that has a plethora of skills first he has a "his own scientific knowledge, detective skills, and athletic prowess." The batman is one of the world’s greatest detective. He is a master of disguise; he is able to gather a lot of information under the identity of a notorious gangster named Matches Malone. His most defining skill that he has is strong commitment to justice and unwillingness to kill any life regardless with any situation he has to deal with.

Batman has been recognized all around the world. The Guardian wrote, "Batman is a figure blurred by the endless reinvention that is modern mass culture. He is at once an icon and a commodity: the perfect cultural artifact for the 21st century." I think the reason that everyone likes Batman because he doesn’t need to have super powers to be a superhero.

 Now that you know the origins of batman, the skills that he has that makes him a hero, and cultural impact now just remember you don’t have to have superpowers to be a hero. I think its great to have a superhero to look up to because in a way it gives you strength when you most need it. I also think that it’s not really what the super looks like or have to be a superhero but what he does in tough situations that make him a superhero.
