Character Profile: Batman

"People think it's an obsession. A compulsion. As if there were an irresistible impulse to act. It's never been like that. I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either."
-Batman

Another favorite character is the Dark Knight himself, Batman, the World's Greatest Detective and Protector of Gotham City. Batman is a legendary figure in the DC Universe, one who has overcome all obstacles and challenges through the force of will.
Ironically as a superhero, his alter ego is Bruce Wayne, he is Batman at the core of who he is. Although Batman is a hero, he is a tragic character who was scarred by a childhood incident that changed his life. Yet some wonder if it was truly just that incident that changed him?

Whatever the case was we have Batman, an individual with no superpowers and driven solely by his will. He used his vast fortune to train himself in almost every skill, not only is he physically skilled but also mentally. He has a sharp mind and wit, and has defeated almost every foe imaginable from the mundane to gods themselves. Sadly Batman's emotional state is kept in check, knowing no love or hate, trapped in logic and reason for his sole of justice.
