12 Greatest Lone Wolf Characters In Movies

The character of Batman is another example of a superhero who utterly emits lone wolf energy. While the Batman Family are an integral part of this character's time in the comics, games and animated shows, the movies, for the most part, have stuck to presenting him as an individual vigilante - particularly in his inaugural film with Tim Burton.

Bruce Wayne is a brave yet damaged man, who seeks to protect Gotham's citizens from petty crime and dangerous supervillains. In Batman (1989), Michael Keaton plays the role and does an amazing job of turning the caped crusader into a force of intimidation.

While certain movie projects have seen him escape the loner stereotype, such as the Schumacher films and DCEU, the Burton and Nolan titles delve deep into the character's desire to act as a singular threat and keep those he cares about safe.

What's interesting about Batman's solo status is that it's bred less of a desire to work alone, but more a concern for those who put themselves in danger. He refuses to allow those he cares about to be drawn into the line of fire, which makes his lone wolf status quite admirable.
