Anyone? Anyone?
My guess would be that they both fight crime. Batman took an extremely proactive approach, while Jesus used more preventative measures (the 10 commandments, thou shalt not steal, etc.).

Nowhere Girl by B-Movie. Brilliant tune. One of my faves. Good times.
"Clear parallels can be drawn between the figure
of Batman and Jesus.
Like Batman he was a
radical figure who changed people by the
example
he set. As Bruce Wayne himself says:
‘People need dramatic examples to
shake them
out of apathy.’ That is what both Batman and
Jesus are.
Through standing up against fear when
no one else would, they inspired
others to also
stand up. But Jesus is much more than an
example. There
is a strong difference between
Jesus and Batman in that Batman always
fights
evil with force and violence whereas Jesus has
already won the
decisive victory over evil by
sacrificing himself. Jesus did not use
force; he
used grace and love to win. Because of this
victory, there is
hope of a new heaven and a new
Earth where there will be no more
corruption or
violence.
Whilst all of us experience fear at some point in
our
lives, the Bible gives us a strong reason not to.
In 1 John 4:18 it
states, ‘Perfect love drives out
fear.’ Knowing and experiencing God’s
love
expressed in Jesus’ death and resurrection means
that we have no
reason to fear anything. Whilst
Batman Begins has the important
central message
of one man fighting against fear, that man
uses
violence and anger whilst the Bible teaches
us that it is God’s love
that has put an end to all
our fears and that, thanks to this love, we
have a
place without pain or violence to look forward to."

Wow, I didn't know there really was an answer to this question.
Thank you Klearchos, you win the million dollars! Of course, I don't actually have a million dollars...
