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.

Batman (1966–68), the kitschy TV series starring Adam West in the title role, premiered on ABC in January 1966 to instant acclaim.

Near the end of the third season, ratings had dropped significantly, and ABC cancelled the show. NBC agreed to take over the series, but before it could do so, it was discovered that hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of Batman sets had been destroyed. Rather than rebuild the sets, NBC dropped the project.

For most of the film, the underlying theme is vengeance, because both Batman and Riddler pursue revenge against the city that wronged them - but they were wronged in different ways.

Batman's main objective is to rid the world of such blind immorality and prevent anyone from experiencing the depraved world he was exposed to at such a young age. Personally-driven motives are typical of an antihero, but to combine this trope with that of the superhero adds a deeper dimension to Batman.

Batman is a symbol of justice: He is driven by a desire to make the world a better place. He fights against evil and corruption, and he always stands up for what is right. This makes him a very appealing figure for men who want to make a difference in the world.

One of the biggest relatable factors about Batman is that he is a human being, just like his fans. Unlike other DC characters like Superman and Wonder Woman, who possess other-worldly powers, Batman is a normal human being who uses technology and other human means to fight crime.

He is called "the" batman because it is less personal, and less human. Many of the Gotham city criminals have a fear of batman. They see him as a superhuman creature that always finds a way of defeating them, so they give him this inhuman title of "the batman".

While Batman has a strict no-kill policy, this doesn't prevent him from being violent when he needs to. It would seem that between good and evil, Batman appears to be more on the good side with his intentions, but his methods may just have him straddling the line.

So assuming he hangs his boots up and assuming he's not irradiated, we would estimate that he'll live to at least age 90, which is our forecast for average life expectancy. However, he could also easily live to 95 based on the fact that he's smart, fit and wealthy and at some point likely to meet the 'right woman'.

Like in the regular DCU, the Dark Knight in Batman: Year 100 debuted in 1939, the same year he debuted in the real world. Following that timeline, Bruce Wayne should be over 130 years old, seeing as how he became Batman around his early 30s.
