Batman - The Dark Knight

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me." Batman tells Rachel Dawes and the story of the dark knight unfolds in the heart of the perennial darkness that has been haunting Gotham. One of the greatest superheroes of the century, Batman is quite different in many ways from the other famous characters of publisher DC Comics, and even Marvel Comics for that matter. A caped crusader, Batman is about Bruce Wayne's fight with his own fear that kept him awake at night, and the death of his parents at the hands of a ruthless Gotham City street criminal. Contrary to popular belief, Batman is not driven by a burning desire for revenge, but rather by the desire to deliver justice. But make no mistake, Batman is indeed out to rid society, and the streets of Gotham City, of every conceivable evil.
