This one seems like another no-brainer. Batman exists because his parents were murdered right in front of him with a gun. Guns should be horrific to him on a visceral level. But in his earliest days, Batman actually carried a handgun, and used it without hesitation. Batman v Superman was the dark apotheosis of that particular trend. They may have different methods of enacting justice, but at the end of the day Batman and Superman share a deep respect for each other. Batman is a genius.
His skills of deduction would rival Sherlock Holmes. And yet there are a few characters, like Mr. Terrific and the Atom, who are just as intelligent, and have managed not to descend into the depths of obsession and paranoia that afflict Batman. Also, for all his skill and drive, Batman tends to make his mission too personal - preferring to beat criminals to a pulp rather than make a concerted effort to change the systemic issues of corruption and wealth inequality that have lead to Gotham going to rot.
That is both weirdly judgmental — Batman has been consumed by vengeance since he was 8 years old, so what version of Bruce she loved is a little hazy — and just plain wrong. The real man is not the demon dressed in black, barking at criminals as he dangles them off rooftops, any more than the real man is the drunken, oblivious playboy who buys hotels to impress dinner guests. The Joker might give up crime and start working at Hot Topic if Batman would give him as much as a chuckle.
But even the stuffiest iterations of Batman generally have a dark sense of humor, or can at least acknowledge the absurdity of a grown man who dresses up like a bat to beat up bank robbers. BubbaGump Bland User.

Gordon not asking or caring about Batman's true identity, but realizing what he brings to the table and the type of person he is, is the sign of true friendship -- the kind that never falters and at its core is ultimate and total understanding.
Gordon and Batman, at least in the comics and cartoons, have that. I hope that is expounded on in this new series, too. Batman Dramatic Example. Joined: Oct 1, Messages: 19, Likes Received: 5. Batman needs Gordon in order to obtain information and certain privileges he can't get through interrogating a thug or gathering evidence that the police may have looked over. Gordon provides his inside eye into the corruption of Gotham's police department, aswell as his key to vital information and clues that help him solve most of the big cases in Gotham.
And that's ignoring the level of humanity he brings to Batman, given that Bruce isn't stupid enough to think he can take on an entire city's crime and corruption by himself entirely. This was true with Burton's interpretation, and with most interpretations of the character period. So why he can't have Gordon as a friend and confident is beyond me.
It worked in the comics, in the cartoons, and in Begins. So it should be able to play out pretty decently relevant in TDK. GoogleMe94 Registered. Joined: Feb 19, Messages: 2, Likes Received: 0. El Payaso Registered. Joined: Jun 10, Messages: 15, Likes Received: 1. CConn Fountainhead of culture.
