Batman. The Caped Crusader.
The Dark Knight. The World's Greatest Detective.
He's known by many names. Some consider him nothing but an urban legend.
But those who have seen him have one of two opinions about him:
| To criminals, he's a monster. |
|
To a few victims, he's a hero. |
Then, there are people like Officer Bullock who see him as a menace, a vigilante who must be brought to justice. Some, like Commissioner James Gordon, see him as a friend. And still more, such as Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Tim Drake, and others, see him as a teacher and a leader.
Regardless of who you are, Batman is unique. An ordinary man driven by a promise to protect the innocent and prevent his fate from befalling anyone else. He watches over Gotham City at night, preying on both petty criminals and super villains.
Dark Angel. Winged Avenger. Protector of the Night. These are the names I attribute to the Batman. He's a man with a mission. He's sworn to protect the innocent. And he won't let anything stand in his way.
Here's a list of a few members of Batman's Rogues Gallery:
Joker: |
He's a psychopath and a clown all rolled up into one. "The Clown Prince of Crime" as he's called. Batman's greatest villain. |
Two-Face: |
D.A. Harvey Dent was horribly scarred in an accident. This resulted in a split personality, Two-Face. He blames Batman for what happened to him. His one weakness: his coin. |
Scarecrow: |
Dr. Johnathan Crane was always a tall, lanky man with an obsession with fear. Now he's the Scarecrow, King of Fear. He uses his fear toxins to make people see their worst fears. |
Poison Ivy: |
And where would the Dark Knight be without a female foe? Pamala Isely is a botanist who possesses a certain power over plants. She uses poisoned lipstick, perfume, and other accessories to defeat her prey. And she's got some house plants that pack a pretty hefty punch. |
Riddler: |
"Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big black Bat?" This famous line from Batman: Forever is a quote from none other than the Riddler. He uses riddles as clues for the police, and a certain Dark Knight, to make himself seem superior. It works like a charm until Batman figures them out and takes him to Arkham Asylum once again. |
Ra's Al Ghul: |
His name means "The Dragon's Head". And that he is. A very intelligent man who, when he dies, uses the life-giving properties of "Lazarus Pits" to restore him. The side effect: insanity. A worthy opponent for the Batman, he once used the Dark Knights own notes to defeat the Justice League. |
Bane: |
He was born in a prison and had experimental drugs pumped into him, bulking up his muscles and giving him superhuman strength. He is the only one who as ever been able to break the Bat...literally. He broke the Dark Knight's back, sending him into paralysis for quite some time. But Batman returned to administer swift judgment. |
