Psychological Analysis of Batman: Shadow, False Self, Inner Child, & Fear


Listen Later

Matt Reeves’s new movie, The Batman, is a case study in psychology. 

Both Batman and Riddler have deep psychological trauma. They both handle it in immature ways. And it reminds me of almost all guys who are trying to do better with women. 

Batman, Riddler, and many single guys who can’t get women create a false self, disown their shadow parts, and exile their inner child out of fear. But they don’t realize this cripples the healing process. 

In this episode, you’ll discover what Batman and Riddler should’ve done instead to heal their traumatic lives. And how you can heal yourself from any wounds you picked up.
