The Dark Knight Rises: 5 Reasons Why Lucius Fox Is Batman's Unsung Hero

By Oscar Harding /

Conclusion

So, it seems obvious that Bruce relies heavily on Lucius Fox, and has a great deal of trust in him, seeing him as another figure to fill the gap his parents left. He€™s saved Bruce€™s bacon not just when it comes to fighting bad guys or savingGotham, but protecting his parent€™s legacy and his secret identity. And that, friends, is why I hope that Lucius Fox is considered a necessary constant in every single interpretation for Batman on screen from now on, and why he is truly the unsung hero of The Dark Knight Trilogy. Because he€™s the hero The Dark Knight Trilogy deserves, but doesn€™t need right now. So we€™ll not appreciate him as much as we should- because he can take it. Because he€™s not a hero. He€™s a silent guardian. A Watchful Protector. I€™m Morgan Freeman- thank you for listening.
