that the heroes are good and the villains are evil. Although the batman is portrayed as a hero many of people would see him as a villain just as the joker‚ even though the joker is the antagonist the joker and batman walk in the same shoes but decided to be on different sides. by this I mean the joker kills for pleasure but batman also kills for revenge which is still wrong although Batman uses this for a reason to be called a hero and continue to do so the Joker although being twisted in the mind

definition of a hero? A hero is represented as a brave person who is selfless and caring of the wellbeing of their peers. Without heros‚ the world would be different.

People who help someone‚ or do a good deed can be classified as a hero‚ it doesn’t have to be someone who saves someone’s life. It can be as simple as giving someone a compliment. To start‚ a hero means you overcome

It’s a way for us to have a mythic cake but eat I too. That’s what makes batman such an interesting character ‚ he looks‚walks‚talks and acts
