I didn’t know what I wanted my last blog to be. I have so many saved drafts that are never going to be anything because well, it’s over. I feel like two years have never gone by so quickly before. People always said that high school would fly by, but man they really meant it. Anyway, I had a blog draft named “Robert Pattinson Vs. Christan Bale’s Batman.” So, effortlessly, I will be showing how someone can be so similar yet so different, and while doing that, explain how these two years have changed me in so many ways. So, let’s start with Christan Bale’s, or I guess Christopher Nolan, who is the director.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Christan Bale was the Dark Knight. He did an amazing job playing Batman and Bruce Wayne, and I guess I can say this is the adaptation of both Batman and Bruce Wayne people tend to enjoy the most. Unfortunately, I did not watch Batman Begins. I got the DVDs from my grandma and that one didn’t work but just know it’s when he becomes Batman. Now, I don’t know much about that movie, so anyways. The Dark Knight!!<\/p>\n

\"Bruce<\/p>\n

We don’t see Batman until ten minutes has passed in this movie. IN this universe, there are people who dress up as Batman to help fight, but they use guns, which Batman is strictly against. The main antagonist of this movie is the Joker. Christian Bale’s Batman has this more defensive fighting style, while still being aggressive and scaring his opponent, but he makes very quick work of getting them down! Though he does tend to get overly aggressive when angry, as seen in this scene with the joker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"The
the joker has love interest held hostage…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He also has a very close father-son like relationship with Alfred, and in the third movie Bruce fakes his death to stop being Batman, and when Alfred finds this out, he is SO happy. Also, in the third movie we meet Catwoman, who ends up getting with Batman because love interest Racheal dies in the second movie… Glad he moves on, I guess.<\/p>\n

\"Bruce
That is Selina Kyle (Catwoman) with her back turned!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Okay!! Bruce Wayne. This Bruce Wayne is the one everyone knows. He always has a woman on his arm, he’s an airhead, and like however else you can explain him. In the Dark Knight movie, Joker puts a bounty on a man’s head. If he does not die, he will blow up a hospital. So, people were trying to get him, and when someone was about to crash into the car the man was in, Bruce intervenes driving his car in between them, saying he was only trying to catch the light, which I thought was funny. Also, in the Dark Knight, Harvey Dent is there, and Harvey makes Bruce want to quit. He believes that Gotham needs a hero who doesn’t wear a mask. Harvey Dent becomes Two Face after half of his face burned in a fire, and he flips this coin to decide whether or not his victim lives or dies. Harvey ends up dying in the end of the movie after falling, and Batman tells Gordon to never tell anyone, in fear of the hope Harvey put into the city will disappear if they find out what he did, which was kill like three or four people.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \"The<\/p>\n

I LOVE this movie. So, this Batman is newer, only doing this for about two or three years now. The movie takes place on Halloween, and it begins with a very emo Bruce Wayne monologuing about Gotham, and how just because he hasn’t been doing this long people are still afraid when they see the Bat signal. The antagonist of this movie is the Riddler, but the biggest thing about it is Batman going from a symbol of fear to a symbol of hope. The Riddler is ruthless, and continues to leave notes to Batman, who is working with Gordon despite the police wanting to arrest him, and I LOVE Gordon in the movie. The Dark Knight Gordon sucks, and is lowkey the real villain… Anyway, in this THREE-HOUR movie, Batman figures it all out, obviously, while going through so much, so why is this Batman different? I’m not completely sure what comic he’s based on, but I do know that this Bruce Wayne is a recluse. He does not leave the house unless he needs to. He’s awkward and everyone knows him because he is still the prince of Gotham, but in a way that’s like Thomas Wayne was so goated, and Bruce is just his son.<\/p>\n

\"Will<\/p>\n

Battison is SO aggressive, like he really is an act first, ask questions later kind of guy, like genuinely pushing people downstairs type of guy. There was a scene where Gordon is like, “Okay punch me and run so you can get away” and Batman punches him so hard and runs, and later Gordon is like, “You did not have to do it that hard.” Batman pretty much just shrugs his shoulders bruh he’s so funny. Not even joking, they’re lowkey besties in this movie.<\/p>\n

\"The
I heart Black Gordon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seline Kyle is also in this movie. Another villain besides the Riddler is Carmine Falcone, who apparently killed the Wayne parents. Allegedly, said by Alfred who took a bomb to the face AND LIVED. Speaking of Alfred, their relationship is different. They clearly care for each other, but it’s less of a father-son and more of an Alfred is just a butler. Like Afred and Thomas Wayne were close, but he’s not really sure what to do with Bruce, but they do have a sweet moment when Alfred is hospitalized, after, I repeat, taking a bomb to the face.<\/p>\n

\"Alfred<\/p>\n

This is getting long, let me wrap it up. Selina Kyle ends up being Carmine Falcone’s daughter. Batman helps her arrest him but before he can get arrested, the Riddler snipes him. They find the Riddler. The city floods because he blew up the dams because he has this odd following of people who are orphans and upset. Thomas Wayne promised a trust fund to orphaned children but after he did, all the other rich people took all of that money, which left the orphaned children angry. Batman saves a bunch of people and becomes a symbol of hope after realizing his messed-up city needs something to look towards.<\/p>\n

\"The
OH, I love her so much. She apparently auditioned to be Catwoman in the Dark Knight, but I’m glad she got this one.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway. I think both of these Batman’s (Batmen??) are amazing, and I think superheroes can really make you reflect on yourself, which is something I’ve talked about before. Both of them made big sacrifices and changes to help Gotham. Christian Bale’s Batman risked his reputation, which was already lacking, just for the city to have hope. Battison gave up this persona who everyone should be afraid and changed into someone people want. I think it’s important to make sacrifices and lose people, and it’s important to grow and meet new people. Meeting Selina Kyle was like the best thing that could happen to happen to them and that’s beautiful. I do have to wrap this up, sorry, it’s so long. Remember that change is a wonderful thing and sometimes bad things happen, and even though it can’t always be resolved, sometimes you just have to climb out a really big hole.<\/p>\n

I believe that I’ve learned a lot about myself over these past two years, and that I have lost but also gained so many people in my life. I’ve realized that I can be more than who I always have been, so I will. Maybe I’m not giving a whole city hope, but I am giving it to myself, who always struggled to have it before. Thank you.<\/p>\n
