I looked up what DC Comics and some other books said (about Batman's physique). I settled on the estimate that Bruce Wayne started off at about six-foot-two and 185 pounds. I gave him a body fat of 20 percent (slightly below average) and a body mass index of 26.
Surprisingly, then, the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, offers a very good (or rather, very evil) account of wickedness that aims not to 'solve' the problem of evil but to expose wickedness in all its savaging awfulness.
But be warned, here there be SPOILERS! First of all, let me clear one thing up right away -- yes, Bruce Wayne really is still alive at the end.
The Bat-Signal is a distress signal device appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, as a means to summon the superhero, Batman. It is a specially modified searchlight with a stylized emblem of a bat affixed to the light, allowing it to project a large bat symbol onto the skies over Gotham City.

Batman takes the blame for Two-Face's crimes to ensure that their fallen ally is remembered as a hero. Harvey Dent's legacy plays an important role in The Dark Knight Rises. Set eight years later, the film reveals that the "Dent Act" legislation has all but eradicated Gotham's organized crime.
Dent cross-examines Two-Face and wins an acquittal for Gordon, determining that Two-Face has effectively blackmailed Gordon by implying that he had committed murders to aid the Commissioner. In Gotham Central, Two-Face meets detective Renee Montoya.
Whereas most of Gotham City in The Dark Knight was filmed in and based on Chicago, the island boroughs and harbor were more clearly modeled on New York — a trend that was even more fleshed out in the third film, The Dark Knight Rises.
Her clone of Damian, known as the Heretic, stabs Damian through the chest and delivers the killing stroke to her son, leaving Batman devastated. After the Heretic loses his final confrontation with Batman, Talia kills him, destroys Wayne Tower, and challenges Batman to a duel to the death in the Batcave.

And his death – he was blasted by Catwoman with a projectile from the Batpod – felt anti-climactic. Bane deserved to be more interesting than he turned out to be.
