Gotham

I would like to devote some space to the Batman movie here.

I was not a big fan of superhero movie. Never was I before watching a movie, neither have I become fond of that sort of movies. But indeed, ever since I watched the Dark Knight few years ago, I felt that it was not a ordinary superhero movie.

Actually, the plot of Batman is never meant to make a superhero: Bruce Wayne was not born to inherit supernatural power, though coming from a super-rich family in Gotham. Just like anyone else, he faced up with many setbacks and struggles. He loved the city, but was labelled as a villain (the Dark Knight). He fought the villains, but the police set him up. He was not a winner, let alone the hero.

He had wanted to quit as a Batman to embrace Rachel, but Rachel in return told him (in letter) that he loved the White Knight more than him. Even worse, he only lived in his memory with her, not realizing the truth.

Indeed, Bruce Wayne was a human with soul, instead of an invincible superhero. The human touch is what we are looking for. We search for human emotions instead of robotic instructions. That's why we love it: Batman movie is never a kind of Avengers movie. It was never a simple and stupid heroic movie.
