Batman

When his parents die (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&so (Author of Batman Begins))

I was born the child of Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne. They were very loving parents, and were also very wealthy people. When I was a young boy, my parents and I went on a family outing to the cinema. On our way home, we unknowingly passed through an alley known for crime and my parents were mugged. The thief then shot both of my parents and ran off. As I knelt beside the bodies of my beloved parents I swore that I would have my revenge for what the thief had done. The cops came and comforted me but I was not placed in the system as an orphan because Alfred Pennyworth managed to keep me out of it. He took me home and raised me. When I turned 14, I traveled to every continent to learn what I needed to get my revenge. Over time, I learned and mastered every fighting style. Then, I studied criminology, psychology, and forensics. When I felt that I had forged myself into the ultimate weapon, I returned to Gotham. At first, I stalked criminals in the form of a normal plainclothes vigilante. However, I barely survived my first night on the streets because the people I was trying to protect ended up beating me. I sat in my study that night, still bleeding from the attack, and realized that I needed to make my enemies fear me before I could do anything else. My inspiration came to me when I saw a bat in the study. I created a secret base beneath my mansion and became Batman, determined to fight the villains of Gotham. Alfred Pennyworth still took care of me, keeping my secret and tending to my wounds. Through my work I met a cop who didn't like my methods but appreciated my help in ridding the city of crime. As my enemies continued to grow, I found help in a young boy who was also orphaned by a vicious criminal.

In an interview with Batman, I discovered what he thinks of when he hears the word hero. Batman believes that a hero is someone who does something for the greater good, and not for themselves. When I asked if he thought of himself as a hero, he said yes. To answer the third question of how it made him feel to be called a hero, he clarified that he didn't care for the label of being a hero, just that he protected innocent people. For the next question, I asked if he thought of teachers as heroes. Batman does in fact think of teachers as heroes because they give children an education out of love for the job, not for the pay. I also asked if he believed that there is a gray area between good and bad in a person. He disagreed in there being a gray area, saying people are either black or white, good or bad. The sixth question I asked was if that rule also applied to children, since he had taken in a boy who had tried to steal his tires. He replied that it was a little different for children, as they have yet to firmly choose their path, so they deserve a second chance. When asked if he ever got tired of what he does, he vehemently denied it. Next, I asked him what made him want to be a hero. People probably expected him to say his parents' death, but he said it was actually because the thief got away and the police could never find him. The next thing I asked was if being a hero took a toll on him and his life. He thought about it for a moment and said not really because it IS his life. To wrap up the interview, I asked if there was anyone he thought of as a personal hero. Batman named Alfred Pennyworth as his hero for keeping him out of an orphanage and taking care of him for so long.

Batman deserves to be inducted to a Hero Hall of Fame because he is a normal human being that suffered a tragedy and rose up to make himself a hero. He isn't an engineering genius like Iron Man, and he doesn't have superpowers like Superman. Batman didn't get bitten by a spider to obtain spider reflexes like Spider Man. He's not a god like Thor, nor the result of an experiment like the Hulk. Batman is simply Bruce Wayne, a man who worked extremely hard to become a hero from his own strength, without help from anything else. Batman has suffered many losses and tragedies and still continues to go on being a hero and doing the right thing because he is a genuinely good person. Sure, he has some really cool gadgets, but he mostly uses his own body as a weapon and constantly risks his life to save others. Batman is an inspiration to everyday people like us because he shows us that normal people can be heroes too.
