The
origins of Batman are shadowy and unsettling. As a child, Bruce Wayne
(Batman's alter-ego) watched as his parents were murdered. After this
terrible experience, Wayne made a conscious decision that he would
avenge their deaths by fighting back against crime. After creating the
guise of 'The Bat Man' he begins his new life of adventure, danger and
double identity.
Aside from the normal life of a super-hero,
Batman has always had undertones of melancholy and brooding. His heart
is as dark and mysterious as the outfit that he wears. Indeed, Sigmund
Freud could quite happily have spent months trying to unravel this
deeply troubled individual.
These aspects have become more
apparent in recent years. The ongoing string of Batman films that began
in 1989 have concentrated on the darker facets of his character. In
fact they have gradually become ever more sombre. If we think back to
the Batman television series of the sixties then the differences are
enormous. The Batman of then was light-hearted and funny. Yes, the
Batman of today still contains humor but now it leans more toward the
dark and the cynical.
The whole concept of Batman is full of
shadows. Gotham City (fittingly similar in name to 'Gothic City') is a
place that is full of darkly styled buildings and myriads of unlit
streets. Several of Batman's foes have a distinctively dark feel about
them and The Joker (probably his most famous enemy) is so dark and
ominous that he is downright scary. This was most apparent in the
latest movie release, 'The Dark Knight' where he was played in such a
frightening and realistic a way by the late Heath Ledger that there was
even talk about whether or not the film was suitable viewing for
children.
So, if the character of Batman were real then how
would he fit into today's society? He would most definitely be a loner
and most probably an outcast. Mixing and interacting with other people
would prove to be difficult for him. Opening up to others about his
inner turmoil surely wouldn't be easy for him. In my opinion he would
more than likely be a diagnosed depressive.
