The Batman, we've entered a new era, one fit for old graying millennials who were scarred and at the same time enthralled by The Crow as a child, eho were introduced to detective noire after school by WB's brilliant Batman animated series, who listened to early industrial goth techno pop and scoffed while the adult world marveled at the new Internet and its unlimited possibilities, whose parents worked hard and provided well but were emotionally absent, who discovered the world of secret and not so secret conspiracies, one where whistleblowers were no longer heroes but enemies of the state. This is our Batman.

[Bruce] is fully committed to being Batman and he’s just not seen by the city at all. He has no desire to be Bruce in this and he wants to just throw it away. He thinks that this is the way he can save himself, by living in this kind of Zen state as Batman, where it’s just pure instinct and no emotional baggage. —Robert Pattinson
