Batman: The Next Generation (2033).
Episode 1: Setting the scene
The source of Alfred Wayne's fortune was shadowy, even to Alfred. From a young age, Alfred had been raised by a series of maids and butlers. He did know, however, that a higher intelligence had been guiding his growth and development from a young age. Unlike some rich boys, he was placed on a strict stipend, according to the wishes of his late father's will. (There was no mention of Alfred's mother in the will, not even her identity). His late father Bruce also mandated that his son be exposed to all of the suffering of the world. Alfred was told, at various intervals, that he must go abroad to volunteer in impoverished regions of the world, as a condition of his inheritance. He was also required to go to college, and, after receiving his acceptance from an institution, he would receive the full amount (estimated in billions) of the late Bruce Wayne.
Despite growing up under such pressure, by all accounts, Alfred was a likeable but not particularly studious young man. Despite his occasional mandatory trips to South America and Eastern Europe, overall life had come pretty easily to Alfred, and even though people liked him, it was widely assumed that he would casually fill the shoes of the typical Gotham City playboy -- going to sporting...
No one was willing to cross him, particularly because he seemed so nice and amiable, the very antithesis of his brooding father. After a generous donation to Gotham University by the Wayne Foundation, he was accepted by the prestigious city university.
"Let's go out clubbing," said Alfred one night to his roommate Robin. Robin, unlike Wayne, was a scholarship student. The child of circus acrobats, he was at Gotham University on a full scholarship. Robin had a secret of his own, but one which he had not revealed to Alfred. "It's Friday night, it's no time to study."
"Well...okay..." said Robin, unsure of how he could get out of the situation. He agreed and followed Alfred into the night. The two young men went to the local hangout, the Joker's Wild, a dark and cavernous bar. Alfred easily met a girl, and Robin talked to her friend. "I think she likes you," said Bruce when the two girls went to the bathroom together. However, Robin just shrugged.
SLAM! Alfred and Robin turned around. Suddenly, they were in the midst of a brawl. "What are you, trying to pick me up?" said a thuggish-looking fraternity boy.
"I wasn't trying to do anything" said the other college kid, being held by the scruff of the thug's neck.
"You…
Another theme which is symbolized by this dual, contradictory character in Batman films is fear, especially Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins. The darkness of Batman's outfit instills fear. Bruce Wayne is initially scared of a bat he sees out the window and bat is also a dark color. What Bruce is in Batman Begins is an individual with fear who not only tries to overcome it but also becomes part of
Batman 1989 As depicted in this DC-comic-based movie, Gotham City is a fictionalized concept of New York or Chicago in the late 30s rather than in the bicentennial period of its independence in 1776. The behavior of the characters, the black-and-white television sets, the locale and the overall mood of the fiction are suggestive of that period before the last War rather than of the conditions in New York or Chicago
In Miller's Batman, one sees a man waging war on a world that has sold its soul for empty slogans and nationalism: the Dark Knight represents a kind of spirit reminiscent of what the old world used to call the Church Militant -- he is virtue violently opposed to all forms of vice -- even those that bear the letter S. On their chests and come in fine wrapping. Miller's
Dark Knight Returns Almost since his debut in 1939, the character of Batman has alternately been condemned and celebrated as an image of male homosexuality, and the various subsequent iterations of the character have frequently alluded to this characterization, whether implicitly or explicitly. In his seminal 1986 book The Dark Knight Returns, author and illustrator Frank Miller takes uses the potentially homosexual signification of Batman's character as a means of exploring
