Batman Begins and the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh both feature the story of a culture hero. In both of these works, the heroic quest of the culture hero is significant. Apart from having similar narratives, these two stories also have significant differences in themes. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh becomes a hero for fame and immortality, while in Batman Begins; Bruce Wayne becomes a hero to avenge the deaths of his parents and at the same time protect the city of Gotham. These two characters also show a difference in the conflicts that they face as they fight against overwhelming circumstances. Gilgamesh is at odds with mortality, while Bruce is at odds with the corruption of human nature. One can say that Bruce is also concerned with mortality, since the death of his parents was the main reason for his doings. But instead of directly facing mortality, he attempts to strike the system that creates it.
