1 17 Norlan Summary Batman, an American comic hero, has more than 70 years of history. Over these years, the character of the hero has been changing due to the writers and the eras where they write the comics, who are responsible for defining the characteristics of the Dark Knight. Christopher Norlan is one of such important figures who have established the popularity of the American comic hero in recent years. In this paper, I will prove what is so special about Norlan s works 2005, 2008 and 2012 on the Caped Crusader that some people overappreciate or others misinterpret and underestimate what is really intended by the director. 1 Norlan 2008 Norlan 70 Norlan Norlan 2 AC Detective Comics DC #27

Alfred: With respect, Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man you don t fully understand either. A long time ago, I was in Burma and my friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones but their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anyone who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby, the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away. 6
