When Movie Characters Go Postal

Batman, Rambo, Jigsaw and more go from mild to wild...


Batman Begins (2005)

Average Joe: Billionaire Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale).  So not particularly average, then.

What turns him?: The desire to avenge the death of his parents, gunned down in front of him before he’s a kid. 

But first, there’s that pesky chiroptophobia to deal with. What's that?  Go on, guess.

Postal in costume: Bruce didn’t get ahead in business without knowing how to compartmentalise.

By day, he’s good ’ol Bruce… but by night, he dresses up as masked vigilante/crimefighter Batman.

Experimental armoured suit? Yeah, whatever. You’re not fooling us, Bruce; this is psycho stuff.  

The technical term, we believe, is 'batshit crazy.'

Next: First Blood
