Groups A and B should answer TWO of the following (in other
words, if you didn’t answer the questions last time, do these ones!)
Q1: At the end of the Chapter Three, Gordon thinks to
himself, “He’s a criminal. I’m a cop. It’s that simple. But—.” What makes him
add that “but”? How has Chapter Three changed his ideas about Batman? Why is
Batman less criminal, and why is he less just in his actions?
Q2: Throughout the
comic, Batman’s plans never quite come off, even though he’s obviously spent a
lot of time planning them. What seems to be the problem with being a superhero
for him? What does even he conclude that he needs to make his career
more successful?
Q3: The Gotham media mistakes Selina
(Catwoman) for Batman’s assistant, which pisses her off. But according to the
comic, why does Selina become a costumed vigilante? What might this suggest
about the nature of superheroes, and why there are so many of them in comic
books?
Q4: Why might it be significant that Batman’s most
successful mission in the comic is when he isn’t wearing his costume at all? Why
doesn’t he wear his costume (or change in a convenient phone booth) to save
Gordon’s son?
