The Truth About Batman’s Mask: It’s Not About Protection

Описание: Batman has survived 80 years not because he is a hero, but because he is a "Protean" character—a blank slate reflecting our deepest societal fears. From the Gothic architecture of Gotham to the post-9/11 anxieties in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, the Dark Knight is a response to a broken world.

This analysis argues that Bruce Wayne isn't protecting Gotham; he is participating in a complex psychological defense mechanism to avoid mourning his parents. By comparing Batman to Frankenstein’s monster and his shadow-self, Bane, we expose the "hero" as a liminal figure who must become a monster to fight monsters.
