Batman

Analyze Batman in terms of the three different types of heroes we have discussed (archetypal, tragic and anti-hero). Which type of hero is he? Is it possible that he is multiple types?
Batman is mostly tragic hero because he is self sacrificial for the innocent people of Gotham City. He protects them from the evil villains and helps reduce crime on the streets. Batman could also be classified as a mixture of all the hero types because he shares a little bit of each trait. Batman dedicates everything for the people and taking down villains with his cunning ways. He always wins his fights and even though there is suspense sometimes where it seems like he isnt going to make it, he eventually wins and defeats. Also Batman wants to bring down crime as does Harvey Dent, but Harvey does it without hurting any other innocent people while Batman on the contrary always causes more destruction to Gotham. One of is flaws is also Harvey Dent and the relationship he has with Rachel. Bruce Wayne loves Rachel and when she gets killed by one of the Jokers men he feels responsible and upset that the people of Gotham City want to bring him down and have him turn himself in.
