Who is a Batman?

Not everyone has to experience the loss of their parents, dress like a bat, talk in a very deep voice and go around beating up criminals to be Batman.  But Batman does display certain qualities that can be found in people today such as selflessness, intelligence and is very wealthy to some extent.  So in my eyes, one of the people who I see as a Batman like figure in the world is none other than Bill Gates.  Bill Gates as most of you would know was the man who founded Microsoft and donated large amounts of his money to charity and scientific research.  Bill Gates is a Batman like figure in that both invest their money in helping society.  Batman invests his money in his science to develop his weapons, such as the gas he uses to make criminals relive their worst nightmare.  Similar to Bill Gates investing his money to charities that help people in need as well as to help scientists push the knowledge of man and woman kind farther.  Both Batman and Bill Gates could have kept all their money to themselves but they chose to use parts of their money to making the world or Gotham City a better place.  Another example is that both Batman and Bill Gates use their intelligences to benefit the people around them.  Bill Gates used his intelligence to found an create Microsoft which would go on to be widely used in the world.  Likewise Batman uses his intelligence to create gadgets such as his bat-mobile, bat-a -rangs, gas pellets and so much more.  Because of Bill Gates' intelligence Microsoft allows for media and news coverages to spread world wide and Batman is able to use his gadgets to cut down on crime in Gotham City.  Batman and Bill Gates are not the same people but they have both demonstrated their intelligent and selfless acts to making their respective societies safer.
