The Batman of Gotham city is unquestionably one of the most popular and awesome superheroes (that too without any super powers) to have ever been created. Whether you like Michael Keaton’s original portrayal of the hero or Zack Snyder’s Batfleck or Robert Pattinson’s new version of the caped crusader, Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight trilogy will always be remembered for its characters, storyline, and mostly the gripping lines that always hit us to do something extraordinary.
The man behind the mask, Bruce Wayne, although he’s known as a superhero, Batman doesn’t have any actual superpowers. Instead, he depends on his physical and mental prowess and his passion for justice.
Batman certainly has mastered all the aspects of being a true hero; one that the city doesn’t need but deserves. The Dark Knight himself isn’t a man of many words; but when he does speak, it’s almost as if everything he says is quotable.
