Visual Argument
Chase Fowler
This image is from Batman: Arkham City(if you can’t tell by now, I am a huge Batman geek). As you can see Batman is attacking one of the Abramovici twins, Hammer. In the background you can also see two Joker thugs coming in to attack Batman as well. Batman is clearly outnumbered and, by the looks of Hammer, out gunned. But he is on a mission and failure is not an option. He is willing to wade into battle against a larger and stronger force while risking his own life and limb. The image supports the notion that if you are willing to give up everything you had better be ready to risk everything and that life has obstacle bigger than yourself, but, like Batman, you can overcome them by using your head and playing to your strengths. The whole game is about unraveling and ultimately stopping a sinister plot that is being carried out against Gotham City by some of Batman’s greatest enemies. It’s a parallel to regular life, you have your ultimate goal for your life and you do anything you can to reach your goal and live your life’s dream(parallel in essence, not necessarily in threat level).
