Trust vs. Mistrust is the first stage of Erikson's theory of psychological development. Beginning at birth and ending at 18 months. During this stage, infants learn to trust their caregivers based on how well their needs were met. According to Bruce Wayne, he exited out of this stage with trust. He believed in his parents/butler, trusting the world is safe (until he reached the age where his parents did die), and he said all of his needs were met.

Dating, marriage, and romantic commitments are important but so is friendships and other social relationships. Batman aka Bruce Wayne left this stage with Intimacy. He didn't get this when he was younger but got this when was much older. He had build an empire of people he could trust and not trust. He had close relationships with his friends and family.

Generativity vs. Stagnation is the seventh stage of Erikson's theory. This stage occurs during the middle of adulthood between the ages of 40 and 65. This stage allows middle-aged adults to strive or create a nurture things that will outlast them often by parenting children or fostering positive changes that benefit others. This stage Bruce Wayne learns Generativity as he finds out he had a biological son at 41. Damian was 8 years old when he came into Bruce's life. Damian was raised by his mother who was a trained assassin teaching Damian her ways. When Bruce got to him, Damian had to learn the right between the wrong at being a superhero. Bruce made commitment to others, mentoring others, and contribute to the next generation.

Integrity vs. Despair is the Final stage of Erikson's theory. This stage begins at 65 and ends at death. People reflect on their life that they had lived. They either find a sense of wisdom and fulfillment or and sense of disappointment and regret. It's shared by past experiences, choices, and relationships. At this stage, either integrity or despair is the choice for Bruce Wayne. He had a meaningful life of becoming Batman and cleansing the world of evil but he also lived with some regrets he made during his lifetime. In the end, I think he had integrity at the final stage.
