It had cheesy dialogue, used the cheapest of special effects, and is extremely dated. However, all of those things are part of what fans love about the show to this day. People still enjoy the 1960’s Batman for its goofy, campy, and “so bad it’s good” qualities. For these reasons, Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment came together to create a new crime-fighting adventure for the Dynamic Duo for the modern age. On October 6, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will premiere at New York Comic Con. The straight-to-video animated feature harkens back to the madcap antics that made the classic show so beloved. Also, the two stars from the original show - Adam West and Burt Ward – lend their voices to their iconic roles as Batman and Robin, respectively,…

    In the movie “Batman Begins” the Antagonist Henri Ducard tells the protagonist Bruce Wayne “Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding”. This line is brought to life in the beginning of the story as we see the narrator’s reaction to Bartelby’s refusal to work that is required of him. Within a few days of Bartelby’s refusal the author begins to excuse these transgressions with the pity and compassion that he feels for Bartelby. This is evident when the lawyer tells us “Poor fellow! Thought I, he means no mischief; it is plain he intends no insolence; his aspect sufficiently evinces that his eccentricities are involuntary”.…

    What caught my eye the most was a scene in Batman Begins where Bruce and Alfred are speaking on the plane, Bruce says “People meed dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I cants do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man, I am flesh an blood; I can be ignored or destroyed. But as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting” by being a symbol, batman is everlasting. And as a symbol its not about who you are, but the actions you make, its about what you have done and what you stand for in the end. Christopher Nolan uses Batman as that dramatic example you can change the world, all it takes one person and it truly can be anyone. In the trilogy, Bruce Wayne creates as well as becomes that symbol that Batman stands for. Christopher Nolan successfully made batman a symbol so that he cannot be incorruptible and with that his legacy continues to be everlasting.…
