Opinion Essay

I think Batman is the coolest hero in the D.C. Universe. His utility belt contains
everything a hero needs to defeat enemies. He has thought of ways to defeat villains
and his friends if they are corrupted. Batman also uses technology to fight crime
and research crooks. Because of his multiple skills, Batman is a great hero even
though he doesnt have super powers.
First, Batmans utility belt has all sorts of tools and gadgets that help him defeat
enemies. For example, he has bat-bombs that he uses to create smoke and blind
enemies so he can get past them. He also has a special laser so that if hes stuck in
ropes he can use it to sneakily burn his way out. If Mr. Freeze comes along, Batman
can also use the laser to unfreeze objects or people that shouldnt be frozen.
Secondly, Batman has a plan for defeating anyone, including his friends. Batman
has fought enemies that use mind-control powers to corrupt his friends. For
example, Brainiac used his big skull space ship to take over the brain of Batmans
friend, Superman. Because of Batmans just in case kryptonite box, he was able to
use the mineral from the planet Krypton to weaken Superman and temporarily
remove his powers.
Finally, Batman uses technology to research and solve crimes. He analyzes D.N.A.
found at crime scenes to find out who committed the crime. For example, the
handle of a knife can be tested and the information can be used to match up the
D.N.A. with villains who are in his database. Batman also uses technology to
communicate with Commissioner Gordon and his other friends Batgirl, Nightwing,
Red Hood, Robin and Alfred.
To sum up, Batman is the coolest hero in the D.C. Universe because he relies on
his awesome tools and intelligence to defeat villains.
