Batman’s villains often reflect who he is, but The Wrath is different. He’s not a metaphor he’s Batman’s dark opposite. A man shaped by trauma, consumed by vengeance, and in The Batman, he even has a Robin of his own: Scorn.
This short gives you a tease of my analysis into how Wrath and Scorn serve as a moral and philosophical mirror to the Dark Knight, why they were doomed from the start, and how The Batman adapted these ideas from the comics to tell a story that’s both thrilling and unsettling.
