Batman
Eight year after events of The Dark Knight, Gotham City is in a state of peace. Under powers granted by the Dent Act-legislation inspired by the late Harvey Dent –the Gotham City Police Department has nearly eradicated organized crime. Batman has disappeared and Bruce Wayne has become a recluse. Police Commissioner James Gordon fells guilty about the truth; however, he decides that the city is not ready to hear it. While searching for a missing congressman, Gordon is captured and his speech taken by Bane. Gordon is shot during his escape and found by patrol officer John Blake. While recuperating , Gordon promotes Blake to detective, with Blake to detective, with Blake reporting directly to him.
Wayne Enterprises is nearly bankrupt after Bruce invested in board member Miranda Tate’s clean energy project, designed to harness fusion power, only to shut it down after discovering the core could be used as a nuclear weapon. Blake-who has deduced Batman’s identity-and Gardon encourage Batman to return, but Alfred Pennyworth resigns after a failed attempt to dissuade him, including informing Bruce that Rachel Dawes had intended to marry Dent before she died . Banes attacks a stock exchange and bankrupts Bruce, using fingerprints cat burglar Selina Kyle stole from Bruce’s safe. Fearing that his business rival, John Daggett-who employed Bane to aid in a hostile takeover-would gain access to the reactor, Bruce asks Tate to take control of Wayne Enterprises. Bane subsequently kills Daggett as he is no longer of use. Batman asks Selina Kyle to lead him to Band in exchange for a program that will erase her identity from every database on the planet, allowing her to retire. However, Selina actually leads him to a trap; Bane agreed to let her live if she brought him Batman. During the confrontation between Bane and Batman , Bane reveals that he knows Batman’s true identity. He also reveals his intention to steal Wayne Enterprises’ weapon in order to fulfill Ra’s al Ghul’s

    He was there in the shadows silently watching over them, ready to protect them. "We’d better keep this and the blanket to ourselves. Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up" (Lee 96). As Scout was standing freezing watching Miss Maudie’s house burn down in, Boo Radley comes to warm her up and protect her from the elements by placing a blanket around her shoulder without her knowing. This similar to how Batman presides over Gotham and how he is its silent protector. Likewise, Boo finally fulfills the prophecy by saving Jem and Scout from a Bob Ewell, who seeks retribution on Atticus by trying to kill Atticus’s children. Whereas, Batman saves Gotham from the League of Shadow, who wishes to destroy the city to end its corruption and rebuild it. Interestingly, Bob Ewell wishes to enforce the traditional values of society of white supremacy while the League of Shadows wishes to destroy society as a whole as means to purge corruption and start another cycle of rebirth . However, Boo Radley and Batman start to differ, both may be vigilantes but one is willing to kill while the other is not. Boo stabs and kills Mr. Ewell in order to protect Jem and Scout. On the other hand, Batman refuses to kill as he believes that in his own mind that to kill is to fall to the level of villains like the Joker and Bane. He learns from himself and indirectly from his former mentor Ra’s Al Ghul, that compassion is what separates and differentiates them from the villains and criminals of society. “I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you”(Batman Begins); were his final words to his former mentor and teacher Ra’s Al Ghul as he left train before its explosion. Al Ghul was genocidal terrorist that wishes to destroy civilization in order to rebuild it, Batman could not leave Al Ghul alive without risking serious consequences such as endangering the lives of many others, so given no…

    Watching movies created from books I have read, I have noticed many similarities and also many differences regarding the plot. The most recent example of varying plots that I have evaluate is Spider-Man the comic series written by Stan Lee to Spider-Man the film directed by Sam Raimi. One of the main events that differ between the two is the circumstances surrounding Peter’s Uncle Ben’s murder. The differences in the murders also play a more important role in the development of Peter’s emotions in each case. In both the comic book and the movie, Peter also goes through various physical changes that affect his emotional state. Sam Raimi’s 2002 film depicts a more emotional and tragic vision of Peter Parker than Stan Lee’s The Amazing Spider-Man, because it creates more of a feeling of liability in Uncle Ben’s death.…

    In the Robin Hood case, we can easily apply the principles of a business organization. Robin was the CEO of the Merrymen. He made all important decisions and a few lieutenants serve in roles that have been delegated such as information gathering, discipline, finances and provisioning. These make up the top management in the organization. There are several issues Robin Hood needs to consider. First, Robin Hood needs to make sure his own personal grievances against the Sheriff do not cloud his vision and what is in the best interest of his Merrymen as a group. Second, take a broad look at the overall organizational structure by conducting an environmental scan, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis and/or using a variety of organizational assessments. A SWOT analysis will help determine some strategic alternatives and how the band can attempt to fulfill its mission and achieve its goals. Robin Hood can use the SWOT analysis to identify where he is strong and vulnerable, where he should defend and attack by scanning both internal and external environments…
