Who Is Your Batman?
The person whom I believe epitomizes Batman is my mom, referring to his positive qualities of course. Like Batman, my mom always tries her best to put other people first and help them in any way she can even if it means that she stops taking care of herself at times. One of the main reasons why I liked the character of Batman so much was because of the fact that he reminds me of my mom in this was as well as having a strong moral compass. While Batman tends to turn towards madness at times, that never gets in the way of his morals, like my mom. There are certain things my mom stands by and she always ends up sticking to it no matter how hard things may get, she never breaks her morals. Another one of Batman's aspects that reminds me of my mom is the way he looks to Robin as an anchor to reality whenever he feels like he is about to lose to his darkness. There have been many times when my mom has told me that I am her anchor and that I am the only thing keeping her from unraveling when life gets tough, I give her the will-power to believe in herself. Batman also sees Robin in that way, she represents the youth and enthusiasm, to save the lives of Gotham, he sometimes lacks when he feels too weak, she represents the reason why Batman does what he does. In the end, Batman was a good person who, like my mom, had many personal problems but in the end managed to take the good out of it and helped others who needed more help than themselves!

I never thought of Batman as a parental figure before you mentioned similar qualities your mom and Batman share. Like you said, your mother puts others before her own life, which is essentially what Batman does. I believe that because Bruce has experienced this first hand with the death of his parents, he took it upon himself to fill that role for the youth of Gotham. He plays that role of a parent to Robin and the mutant gang, as seen from the lack of interest parents have in their children in this city. For example, the parents of the mutant gang wanted the children to stay in jail and Carrie's parents are too wrapped up in themselves to remember they have a child. Overall, it is great that you acknowledge this trait about your mom, and what a coincidence it is that mother's day is just in a few days. :)
