...I found myself starting to explain some of my feelings to a friend by invoking Marshall Rogers' interpretation of Batman to Frank Miller's. So I think I did the tribe proud.
(For the record: Rogers approached Batman as being driven but sane and in control of himself, and Bruce Wayne as being a real, multi-faceted persona for whom the Batman is a mask and a tool. Back before he went just plain silly and nuts, Miller was of the view that Wayne is a shell of a persona that the Batman uses when he can't be in the cowl, where he is most truly himself and free. I am imprinted on the Rogers interpretation, and this could segue into a long ramble about the ways in which Ceri and birth name feel real or not to me, but it won't right now 'coz I'm tired and too warm.)
