Are there any songs out there that you reminds you of characters from movies, books or games? If so tell us which and see if you can explain how your choices fit.

To me, Johnny Cash's version of Hurt fits perfectly with Batman.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
Bruce Wayne's lifelong war against crime and the physical repercussions of it. Also the memory of, not only his parents death but the events that have happened to him as Batman i.e the creation of Joker, Two-Face and his loss to Bane.

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
Everyone who he has ever cared about leaving him one way or another. Barbara Gordon/Batgirl was paralyzed, Dick Grayson/Robin I left him to become Nightwing, Jason Todd/Robin II was apparently killed then came back as a villain

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
The meaningless existence of Bruce Wayne's public persona and how he will fail to be anything other than Batman.

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
Not only his unwillingness to give up "the mission" despite how people react to him but how his sense of vengeance is never ending

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
If given the chance, Bruce would stop being Batman
