Batman is possibly one of the most successful comic book characters ever created. He is also possibly one of the darkest.
The origins of Batman are shadowy and unsettling. As a child, Bruce Wayne (Batman's alter-ego) watched as his parents were murdered. After this terrible experience, Wayne made a conscious decision that he would avenge their deaths by fighting back against crime. After creating the guise of 'The Bat Man' he begins his new life of adventure, danger and double identity.
Even as Bruce Wayne, our superhero emotes brooding and darkness. The films that capture the darker side of his nature are truer to the original character.
More recent films have tapped into his deeper nature becoming more sombre in tone. The first television series was lighthearted and trivial by comparison and suitable for young children, but not represent the other side of his nature.
The Batman genre is full of shadows. Gotham City is a place that is full of darkly styled buildings and myriads of poorly lit streets. Several of Batman's enemies have a dark feel about them and The Joker is so ominous that he is scary. This was apparent in the latest movie, 'The Dark Knight' where he was played in such a frightening way by Heath Ledger that there was even discussion if the film was suitable viewing for children.
So, if the character of Batman were real then how would he fit into today's society? He would most definitely be a loner and most probably an outcast. Mixing and interacting with other people would prove to be difficult for him. Opening up to others about his inner turmoil surely wouldn't be easy for him. In my opinion he would more than likely be a diagnosed depressive.
We could easily have prozac dependent individual with a withdrawn personality. Rather than fighting crime he may in fact be a top criminal.
So here we have a totally different Batman from the one who is so well known and loved. We have a disturbed person who is drug dependent and unable to communicate. He could quite possibly be a repeat offender with his own ideas of right and wrong. And, to top it all, because of this, he may have been awarded with an ASBO.
