Batman!!!




Most people have a hero, whether it's Jesus, Slash, Oprah, Tyra Banks, or even Hitler. Whoever it is, we all have our reasons why. However, while we see some of these characters as heroes, others may see them as villains.
Here are some of the reasons why some people, including myself, see batman as a hero. First of all, he saves peoples lives. He's a superhero who dresses up as a bat at night and goes out there and stops the real villains from causing trouble. Also, he sets a really good example, given that he dresses as a bat because it's the one thing he's scared of. In other words, he teaches us to face our fears. Also, he's not just a good hero, he's a good person, for the reason that he's filthy rich, but instead of giving himself the life of glory, he goes out on a rewarding trip to a place where poverty is just a daily issue for everyone there. So when he gets back to all his fortunes Gothem City, he's not just another rich person, he's an actual human being, just with a lot of money. Now those are some reasons why I consider batman my hero. Unfortunatly, there are still some people who view him as a villain.
I don't understand how some people can say that batman is a bad person, but I guess everybody has their reasons. Some people may say that he's a bad character seeing as in his latest film, he had the blood of a lot of people in his hands. See he was being persuaded. Some psycho was telling him that he was going to kill someone every day if he didn't reveal himself .As days went on, people died and batman couldn't do anything about it. If he revealed himself, it would be the end of batman, but if he didn't people would keep dying because of him. Also, there are other people, such as my mom, who see him as a villain because he seems to always turn to violence, and apperantly, violence is not the answer. In the end, he ends up personally killing the mayor of Gotham. In his defense, he had to. If he hadn't killed the mayor, who was going through a tough period in his life since his future wife had just died and he thought he could blame it on batman, the mayor would have killed a close friend of batman's son. So there are some reasons why some individuals may consider batman a villain.
In conclusion, there will always be someone who agrees that your hero is the best. There will also be some that don't think your hero is the best. In the end, you just have to look at the facts and figure out who the real hero is. Well, the bottom line is, batman is the best. Enough said.


also heres a little quote from the movie " The Dark Knight":
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to watch yourself turn into the villain.
-Batman
