    he stopped being a cool guy the moment we could see him. he was the enigmatic batman/edison figure for a while, when most people only knew him by the projects he funded. then he decided he wanted to be a celebrity and as soon as we figured out who he is watching him fail miserably has become a pastime for most of us.

        a transition from people’s image of bruce wayne to what bruce wayne would be like in reality.

        I’ve always wanted to do a batman universe where bruce sees his parents killed, and immediately receives some form of mental health care. Just month after month, releasing comics about a guy who lives comfortably within his means, donates heavily to charities that help alleviate the need for most gothamites to turn to crime and uses his discipline and focus to cultivate an attitude of kindness and centeredness. a bruce wayne that teaches raja yoga, but all of it, not just the poses and breathing exercises. to me, batman is a story about the extraordinary things dudes will do to address their trauma other than go to therapy.
