Moon shine

The Moon and the Sun have always been objects that have been revered by humans. Needless to say, people have been assisted by the light provided by the moon at night, and the sun during the day. Because of the significance these two objects have in the lives of people, they have been related to religion and super natural beliefs. The Batman (or Bat-Man) series takes advantage of people's preconceived ideas of the moon and apply it to the significance of Batman. Batman is the knight of the dark who appears from shadows to bring justice to the city of gotham. The usage of moon in the background of panels highlights the significance of Batman and how he is considered as a hero of gotham. In addition, the moon is used as if it were a spotlight in a theater. Whereas everything at night is dark, the moon resides behind the mysterious figure of Batman and leads the readers to focus their attention on the hero. The moon is used not only to shape people's perceptions of Batman, but to draw their attention to him.
