All simplicity is a lie.
Gotham's evil incarnate is a simplification of the problems that we face, and Batman is a simplification of us, of all of us, who do the good that makes the world work. In some peculiar way, we are all bat-people: not the heroes Earth needs, but the heroes Earth just happened to get.
Gotham's criminals aren't a product of disenfranchisement and undervaluation by culture. "Some people", as Alfred tells Master Wayne, "just want to watch the world burn." So, Batman is a reflection of our anger and our ambition and our frustration that our powerlessness to fix that things that we…
Individual people cannot have, and do not have, and should not have the power to change everything on their own, and when they try to do it, it always turns out bad,

I'm always keeping my eye out for new and unique ways that superheroes are being created, because i think it's a really clear indicator of what we're becoming obsessed with and what what we're becoming afraid of.
Can a person ever be free from their upbringing?
We all know that video games are a simplification of real life, but I think that's what's compelling about it. Because real life is complicated. Video games give us goals and you know when you failed and when you succeeded. In real life, that's pretty rare.
As you get older, everything you do is a combination of success and failure. There is no absolute success and failure.
