Who Is Your Batman?

A person I know who epitomizes Batman would be my cousin, an individual that dedicates himself towards giving back to the public. As a former soldier and now dedicated doctor, my cousin exhibits "Batman-like" traits such as assisting those in need or being charitable; however, all are done inconspicuously and under the radar. His sole purpose in life is to help those who need it most, negating from the attention, since my cousin views any praise as arbitrary and often unnecessary. Batman functions without the prying eyes of the media as well, performing as a hero the best when it's just him and the perpetrator, just like my cousin. With his desire to serve justice, my cousin parallels the realistic aspects of Batman and his persona, such as putting all of his efforts towards aiding the masses as a respected soldier and doctor. The quiet but intelligent characteristics of my cousin emulate Batman as well, since both men keep to themselves and their immense intellect. Batman, while violent, is also guided by his strong moral compass, distinguished by a boundary he drew to never kill. Retaining the same ethical mindset, my cousin also exhibits the incredible amount of courage like Batman, where nothing stops him from saving civilians from harm. The level of grit, will, and ambition that my cousin exhibited in the hospital and battlefield is unfathomable. He's Batman like in nature, with the same morality, ambition, and innate sense of justice, but would never push the limits of violence like Batman, let alone relish the pain of criminals or perpetrators.
