“I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!” Here's what you must understand: When Batman says that “I am vengeance”, he does not mean vengeance for himself, he is saying that he is a “spirit” of vengeance.
“This should be agony. I should be a mass of aching muscle--broken, spent, unable to move. And, were I an older man, I surely would... But I am a man of thirty--of twenty again.
The Batcycle, Batblade, or Batpod is the fictional personal motorcycle of the DC Comics superhero Batman. In the comic book universe, Batman's personal Batcycle is a modified street-bike with a 786 cc liquid-cooled V-4 engine. It contains a computer-controlled carburetor and bulletproof wind-guard.
From the classic Batman games to many of the movies, Batman is known not to kill, but he still inspires fear through his violence. The Dark Knight is a nickname given to Batman that essentially symbolizes that inner rage and penchant for brutality.
The film features a prevalent chant of the phrase deshi basara, which, according to Hans Zimmer himself, means "rise up" in a language which he says he's happy to have kept secret (allegedly Moroccan or another Arabic dialect, even Mongolian word "deeshee bosooroi" means literally "Rise Up" though this is disputed).
Frank Miller has written some of the most iconic interpretations of Batman to date. One of his more infamous stories is All-Star Batman and Robin. However controversial this story or interpretation may be, “I'm the goddamn Batman” remains one of the most iconic Batman quotes.
Batman was originally introduced as a ruthless vigilante who frequently killed or maimed criminals, but evolved into a character with a stringent moral code and strong sense of justice. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers, instead relying on his intellect, fighting skills, and wealth.
The editor later created a policy for all published characters from killing, which stated "Heroes should never kill a villain, no matter the depths of his villainy." Officially, Batman's "no killing" rule came into affect in Batman #4.
Batman: The Animated Series kept the no kill rule as relevant as it had ever been, with Batman's refusal to kill criminals cropping up numerous times. This makes as much practical sense as it does for comic books, as killing off a villain only means they can never return to the show.
Batman has abandoned his "Bruce Wayne" name and adopted a new secret identity as a dock worker named Lenny. Batman's alter ego, Zur-En-Arrh, has started influencing his actions due to exhaustion and trauma, making him more vicious than ever before.
That one rule is Batman's, the only one he rigidly adheres to: no killing. Seems easy enough to follow until you realize what kind of pressure it causes in his line of work and how much easier it was all be if he broke it just once.
