He struggled to balance his life as between the day and the night, until the end. In the end, he realizes that while his life as Batman is important, he cannot forget to live as Bruce wane.

The Arkham series has come a long way since Rocksteady 's first installment - Arkham Asylum, back in 2009. The series reached new heights with the sequel Arkham City in 2011. Gone were the restraints of the asylum, with an entire city being explorable. Gliding through the sky at night with the city lights glistening in every direction was a joy to behold, and bringing justice to the streets of Gotham felt as fun as it was brutal. With Batman: Arkham Knight, Rocksteady has taken what was so…

methods that the League of Shadows where prepared to make. Bruce meets Ra’s again at his own home. Bruce thought Ra’s had been killed in the fire he made at their hideout but came to the realization that he actually saved the real Ra’s Al Ghul. When Ra’s confronts Bruce you can see the betrayal across Bruce’s face and I think that portrays Bruce’s sense of justice well. Bruce believed that. As Bruce’s manor is burning you can see the guilt run across his face, it shows the regret he has…

The viewer doesn’t get the answer in The Dark Knight, and that is the problem with the Dark Knight, Batman recognizes that the Joker wins, that it is impossible to beat him, unless Batman plays by his rules, in some sense. While referring to the Joker, Alfred, Batman’s butler states, “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn” (The Dark Knight). The paradox exists because the…

Christopher Nolan is a director who has won many awards due to his films, even though he has only been a director since 1998. A lot of the time Christopher Nolan uses low lighting, backlighting, jump cuts and a lot of close ups to try to portray messages into his film; especially his use of sound which is used to create suspense in the audience. I have chosen Christopher Nolan's 2005 masterpiece Batman Begins to analyze. I have decided to look at 'The Train Scene' in the film -This scene has a…

people, convinced it is the truth. Unaware of the horrors, the men will go in with a positive attitude.

Different reasons for entering the war results in…

improve society. During the romanticism period, artists, authors, etc. took a different route, then how it was in the Neoclassical era. Artists chose to go in a more emotional, creative style for their creations. These artists also chose to display more symbolic and exotic subjects (i.e. paintings, books, poems). One piece of art that displays these characteristics is The Lady of Shalott, created by John William Waterhouse. John William Waterhouse was an Italian artist who painted mainly…

In the poem, “Ulysses,” author Lord Tennyson writes about the king of Ithaca, Ulysses, who had fought in the Trojan War, and had so deeply enjoyed his many travels that he is bored of ruling over his island home, and once again yearns to explore the world. Tennyson writes this poem in the form of a dramatic monologue, and by using this technique the reader is told details of the main characters life and personality through his speech. This is also accomplished through the way the poem itself is…

Complete Isolation Throughout history, art and poetry have seemed to begin to share some of the same characteristics. Poetry is another form of art, and the art itself allows you to visualize the setting and feelings of the poem. Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem and Waterhouse’s painting, both titled “The Lady of Shalott,” depict the lady not experiencing reality and only seeing life through a reflection. Her life is lived in complete isolation, and remains that way even after she departs from the…
