Aristotle's Character types



Virtuous: Batman
Source
Batman works tirelessly to protect the city of Gotham from evil. On his dangerous missions and battles, Batman never even considers doing the wrong thing. The Joker, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, etc. could not entice him with evil even if they tried. Batman always does what is right because that is what he wants to do, and believes needs to be done.




Continent: Catwoman (Anne Hathaway Version)

In The Dark Knight Rises, Catwoman is a burglar who always gets the better of Batman. At the end of the movie, Batman needs her help clearing an exit path to save the people of Gotham. Once she does this, she has the option of leaving Gotham not knowing if it will be safe and ensuring her own safety, or to go back and risk her life to help Batman fight. She wrestles with the decision for a little bit, but in the end makes the right decision and helps Batman.



Incontinent: Michael Scott

In an episode of the tv show, The Office, one of the main characters, Michael Scott, gets a girlfriend. All of his co-workers are suspicious of the woman and decide to do a little investigating. Upon investigation, they find that Michael's girlfriend is actually married. Michael painfully chooses to keep dating the woman, even though he knows it is wrong.



Vicious: The Joker

In the Batman series, the Joker is Batman's arch enemy. He is always looking for different ways to wreak havoc and destroy Gotham. His motives are all unjustified. He knows that things that he does are wrong, and happily does them anyways. He actually believes some of his evil actions are for the Greater Good. "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
