Batman Surrounded by Dark Knight Variants in DC Comics Art
Summary There are tons of different ways people have referred to Batman over the years, from the Dark Knight to the Caped Crusader, but one low-level criminal has just given Batman a title that perfectly sums up what he is. While everyone else may consider Batman to be the Dark Knight, one criminal knows he's more of a "nice-guy monster."
One man knows Batman's secret identity and is trying to sell the information, but he's absolutely terrified of retribution from Batman, especially given the possibility that Batman might kill him. While Batman certainly gives off a terrifying aura to make people think they're truly in danger, the low-level criminal, Belle, knows that Batman really isn't that scary and wouldn't ever hurt someone that badly.
Batman's Terrifying Reputation Only Goes So Far Batman Is Only Scary to Certain People Batman carefully cultivated his reputation to make him seem like an unholy monster who could appear from any shadow. This use of fear is what keeps Batman's criminals in line. After all, Batman can't be everywhere in Gotham at once, so making criminals afraid of him helps keep them from committing crimes, even when Batman isn't around to actually stop them.
As part of his war on crime, Batman often has to save civilians, and this wouldn't be possible if they were terrified of him. If he has to get a child out of a burning building, it would be difficult to have the child cooperate if they thought he was a true monster. This is why, as terrifying as Batman tries to present himself, he also has to show the softer side of himself sometimes.
