About this listen

In this episode of Adoptees in Fiction, we take a look at Batman...not as a superhero but as a child shaped by sudden loss. Bruce Wayne isn’t adopted, but his story is rooted in parental death, identity fracture, and the lifelong attempt to build meaning from trauma. We explore how his grief, emotional isolation, and obsession with control echo familiar patterns many adoptees recognize and what it means to create a persona to survive what was never processed.
