What do you know about Batman?

 

Batman

Batman, also known as Bruce Wayne, is one of the most famous superheroes in the world. He is serious about protecting Gotham City from criminals, but not everyone is impressed by his methods. Some citizens are amazed by his gadgets and skills, while others are annoyed with the destruction he sometimes causes during fights.

 

Commissioner Gordon is usually satisfied with Batman's efforts to reduce crime, but even he has been disappointed by Batman’s risky actions on occasion. However, Gordon knows that Batman is often anxious about saving lives and making sure the city is safe.

 

Batman himself is rarely excited about his successes because he is always thinking about the next challenge. He is sometimes surprised by the bravery of ordinary citizens and feels impressed with those who stand up to injustice. However, Batman’s life is not without personal struggles. He is secretly jealous of people who live normal lives and sometimes worried by his enemies' dangerous plans.

 

Meanwhile, the Joker, his greatest rival, is amazed about how much Batman sacrifices for the city but also annoyed by Batman’s ability to outsmart him. Despite their differences, even the Joker is occasionally impressed by Batman's determination.
