I do this thing every year where I convince myself that I am going to be very, very productive over the holidays. I schedule out my workload with the assumption that my brain is going to kick into high gear after Christmas and I’m going to push ahead on all fronts, and then I’ll be sitting easy in January. And then, predictably, every January is a garbage fire. This year was no different. Well, okay, we had an insurrection, so that was pretty different, but the point is that I spent my January digging myself out of a series of holes. But now I have (almost) fully dug myself out of those holes, and I’m ready to start looking at what this year is actually going to be.
Brilliant! The direction you're taking Batman was it's destiny and could be nothing else. You sir have your finger on the pulse. To sum up your theory on a brief personal level (I am 36) Fell in love with comics (2nd gen) age 5-9 (3rd gen was over my head) enjoyed 3rd and some 4th gen mid to late 90's. Quit comic books all together for video games and anime age 15-29 (exactly how noted). Got back in to comics age 30 strictly for monetary gain (flipping & speculating). The concept of DOT and ghostmaker got me back into reading and now I can't find the time for all the stuff I want to read. Feel like i'm 10 again.. Many thanks!!

Two sides to the conversation on fear and memory in Batman: Scarecrow and (Insert*).
*Insert should never be Batman in a Batman book.
What?
Man, I'm gonna be thinking about that generational theory for years. Brilliantly concise, given the scale of it all.
The true argument is which person is more dangerous the person who uses fear as a weapon or the person who takes the fear away?
