I AM BATMAN

 

There are moments of weakness, where a man finds solace in darkness. There are days when man looks for shelter amidst the raging storm. Everybody wants to be remembered for something good that they have done, everybody wants to be the hero in the shining armor riding a white horse. Everybody cannot face the demons inside them and choose to ignore it completely. Sometimes the image the mirrors show frighten men, show them exactly what they have become. They walk away from the broken pieces of silver that reflected their inner selves because they were afraid of what they had become, their thirst for fame and name as a saviour, as messiahs all lost to the paths that they took to achieve them.

As they escape into the darkness of the night where the moon allows them the little grace of a completely unlit road, great people are lost, people who could have made a difference, who could have stood as generals in the vanguard in a war for Humanity.

It shows how weak mankind is and how necessary it is for someone with the guts to face their demons to exist. One who embraces darkness so that others can see light. One who is not afraid to burn down his own image and name to chars, chars as black as the darkness he embraced. It is from such ashes that a hero of the night awakens; a hero like none other, a hero who fights, not for fame or name, not for honour or light, but a hero who fights for love, who fights for hope, who protects because people need it, even if he is not the one they call for.

From such darkness he rises, The Dark Knight, who fights in the darkness, who shrouds himself in black and one who lives in the shadows so that his people, so that Gotham can see the light of the day.

From within such shadows the hero emerges to save the ‘day’ with just three words to instil belief in his people, “I am Batman”

I wouldn't say this is a story per se. I tworks nicely as an intorduction to a story, or a character outline. It's a good start to something, but it needs some actual plot content to be an actual story.

Thank you so much, I was not intending on posting it as a story, but I just couldn't fit it under a suitable genre. But yes it is meant to be an introductory narration. Once again thank you!
