John Blake

John Blake is one of the main protagonist in The Dark Knight series. John Blake was an orphan and grew up in Gotham City Orphanage. When he grew up he idolized Bruce Wayne and was a die hard Batman fan. The man who goes through rooftop to rooftop with his grappling hook and the bat signal up in the sky where he gave up hope a millions of people in Gotham City. By the time he grew up and join the Police Force. Gotham City crime wave decreased and the city is crime and corruption free thanks to Batman. But he did hear rumors, that Batman was responsible for Harvey Dent's death and blamed the area on Batman. Batman never killed Dent, it was his idea to pin the death on Dent because if they find out about Dent being Two-Face and working with the Joker, people would lose hope and the Joker would win. It was a tough decision back then, it was the worse idea ever so Batman took the blame to protect Gotham and not lose hope. Bruce did lose hope and let Lucius Fox take over the company while he went reclusive and Gordon couldn't live with himself when they did this and he couldn't be the commissioner he used to be and it cost him his marriage to his wife and they end up divorce. John figured out Bruce Wayne, by doing research for a long time that Bruce and Batman is the same guy. Blake knew Bruce was Batman and visited him in his mansion and knew he was innocent with Dent's death. Even though Bruce never told him why he did this and it was his idea to protect Gotham. When Batman returned, it took him a while to earn people's trust and they figure out he was innocent. John Blake reminds me of Bruce himself and wanted to make a difference too. Blake teamed up with Batman, Gordan, Kyle and Fox to take down Bane, Talia and Daggett when they tried to destroy Gotham and failed. Bruce faked his own death as Batman and Batman became the true hero to Gotham again and bring back the bat-signal to call him when we need him. Fox became CEO again and Bruce survived his ordeal and went to Italy with Selina. Mostly Wayne would get some money since Fox will rebuild Wayne industries. The rest of the estate goes to Alfred and uses the Wayne Manor as an orphanage. Blake inherited the Batcave and all the Batman equipment to take over Bruce's place as the new Batman.
