RE: Batman

in #psychology7 years ago

Are you sure you're a Batman fan? Bruce Wayne's reason for creating The Batman was to wage a psychological war with people like those who killed his parents. He wants them to consider the possible consequences before acting and thus PREVENT crime altogether. Thus he creates The Batman to be a kind of criminal folk-lore boogieman lurking in the dark and watching them.

I'm not saying that Christopher Nolan's Batman is a bad movie series. It's just not a BATMAN movie series. It's more like science fiction that uses the setting to set up metaphors and make commentary about modern ideas. In that genre, the science fiction setting isn't integral to the points being made, only a vehicle for them. It's the same with Nolan's Batman.
