One person that exemplifies "Batman" to me would be Ashton Kutcher. He is mainly known for his acting jobs, however, he also is involved in many humanitarian movements. One of the biggest organizations he is involved in is called "Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children." It is a non-profit organization that he co-started with Demi Moore in 2012 to help save the children in the sex trafficking "industry." As of Thorn's 2018 report, Kutcher's tool (a device that helps track down victims) and the law enforcement have identified over 10,000 victims and exposed sex traffickers. He's been part of this organization for years and not many people know about it.
He is like Batman because he's made a huge impact on the world by trying to save current victims and prevent future victims behind the scenes as Bruce Wayne does. Batman did the same for Gotham as he tries to stop the huge amounts of crime and brutality with his tools. Kutcher once said, "You can roll up your sleeves and go try to be like a hero and go save one person, or you can build a tool that allows one person to save a lot of people." I think this quote epitomizes Batman because Bruce, Arthur, and Robin (whomever it may be) team up to build tools that help Gotham. I also think that Kutcher is like Batman in the fact that he most likely wishes that he didn't have to even build this tool to save thousands of children every year. He wishes that there wasn't a human trafficking issue like this. And, according to Frank Miller, Batman is a hero that wishes he didn't have to exist. Batman wishes Gotham wasn't so engulfed in crime. He wishes that Batman didn't have to exist, but he knows Batman is a necessity to saving the citizens of Gotham.
I like that you showed the certain characteristics of how Ashton Kutcher really is like Batman. It's cool that you added that he wants to help the future and doesn't want to have to do the job. And in my opinion, he does sound like Batman and is a real life Batman.
