Batman has been adapted into several different types of media. Some of these types it has been adapted into include comics, film, TV, video games and quite a few others.
I think that Batman's essence is expressed best in movies because they are an easy thing to follow and everyone can understand how Batman works better in a movie. Also when Batman is portrayed in movies it makes it easier to see how Batman spends his day to day life an how he becomes the character that we all know and love. Another reason that movies express his essence the best is because you can see his struggles and the image is right in front of you, whereas in comics you are left to create the image yourself even though you have the pictures to help you.
Video games are an okay way to express his essence because instead of watching or reading about Batman, you are able to actually play as Batman and get a feel of what his life is actually like. By getting the chance to play as Batman you get to experience how Batman works and all of the cool things he can do.
Although comics were Batman's first form of entertainment and most people would consider it to be Batman's best form, I personally think that they don't express his essence that well. This is because with comics you have to come up with the image yourself and you don't always have the background information that you need to come up with that image and the essence that Batman has.
