You don't get heaven or hell. Do you know the only reward you get for being Batman? You get to be Batman.
~ Neil Gaiman
- - - - -Leslie sent me a video with a little kid arguing with his dad about Batman. His dad kept calling himself Batman. Then the kid would say, "You're Robin. I'M Batman." It went back and forth for a while and then the dad finally gave in.
Well, I wrote back to Leslie and said that the kid wasn't Batman that I am the one who is Batman. I said it very directly and firmly. I think I used an f-bomb and exclamation points.
I talked to Leslie later about it and she told me that I had actually typed, "I am Barman."
I am a Batman who doesn't conform to your standard notions of Batman. On so many levels...
