Batman is one of DC's biggest and greatest heroes, standing alongside paragons like Superman and Wonder Woman as one of the pillars of the superhero community. He guides every other hero, big or small, as they fight to make the world a better place. Despite being just a man, Batman's position is even more impressive when you consider that he's just a human with access to an incredible array of weapons, vehicles, and crime-fighting devices. He battles to save his home every night, driven by a determination to make a difference.Batman has a reputation for being a brooding vigilante driven by rage, but he's also an inspiration that proves someone, even when shackled to grief and trauma, can push past all their limits and be the best version of themselves. Today, we're examining five of his most inspirational or hopeful moments, each of which reveals that he's so much more than a crime-fighter.Tom King's run on the Dark Knight's title is controversial to this day, but while it definitely had some low points, its heights hit like a freight train. My personal favorite moment from this run came at the tail end of the 'I Am Bane' arc, when the villain pushed Batman to his physical and emotional edge. Yet, despite all the pain and having no way forward, Bruce stood back up.He told Bane how he had heard villains proclaim his death every night for years, but he was still there, protecting Gotham. This is the greatest showcase of Batman's unyielding will. His greatest strength has always been his determination, and this spells out exactly why he's unstoppable in one of the coolest ways possible.However, what elevates this moment from cool to amazing is the conversation afterward. Beaten and concussed, Batman imagined his mother congratulating him, saying that he did everything to win, but Bruce told her no, as everything he did to fight Bane, to fight every villain, wasn't to win, but to save someone who needed help. Batman isn't just driven by vengeance.His main reason for being Batman is to help people and make sure that nobody else ever has to feel the pain that he has. Batman is a hero who will fight through death itself to help a single person, and that's downright inspirational. Keeping on with the greatest showcases of Batman's determination, few storylines prove that better than Grant Morrison's legendary run on the character.The entire first part of their run, building up to and concluding with 'Batman R.I. P.,' was entirely built around breaking Batman down. Doctor Hurt and the Black Glove cult spent decades slowly conditioning Batman for their final attack, driving him insane and burying him alive. Their efforts truly drove Batman off the deep end, convincing him that none of his life was real and that he was utterly insane.Yet, despite all their efforts, Batman woke up and crawled his way out of his own grave, as sane and heroic as ever before. Batman plans for everything, and even here, at his lowest, he proved that there was nothing any villain could do that could break him in a way he couldn't heal from. Morrison's entire run was built around the mythology of Batman and the single belief that Batman and Robin are eternal.This story imagined him as more than a man, but as the embodiment of determination and heroism who will always rise to meet any challenge. There are few things more terrifying than needing to dig out of your own grave, but Batman did it because it needed doing, just like how he always saves the day. He's a true hero who literally cannot be stopped.There are many awesome origin stories for the Dark Knight, but none are quite as beloved or influential as 'Year One.' This issue was the first chapter of that legendary story, and featured Bruce at one of his lowest points. He'd trained for years to become the champion Gotham needed, but when he finally tried to strike out, he failed to inspire fear in anyone and nearly died. He sat in his grandiose house, contemplating how to move forward.Sitting there, knowing Alfred could save him if he called, but refusing because he couldn't keep going if he didn't have a way to actually accomplish his mission. Then, this moment shows more than anything just how much Bruce is willing to give to his mission. He hasn't just dedicated every waking hour to it, but his very life, being unwilling to live without the option to do what he knows that he has to do.Being Batman is a spiritual need for Bruce. He can't go on unless he's fighting to save his city. The fact that ringing the bell is what saved him is equally as important. The first thing that Batman did was ask Alfred for help, which dispels any notion that Batman is a loner
