In ‘Batman: Gotham After Midnight’ by Steve Niles and Kelley Jones, Batman says this to Comissioner Gordon, ‘This is the second time she [a police officer] took credit for my work. I don’t like it. You know how important it is for criminals to know that it’s me taking them down.<\/span>‘ Sounds like an egoistic statement? It’s really quite the opposite.<\/p>\n

There’s no ego involved because no one (okay, few) knows who is behind the cape and cowl.<\/span> What Batman wanted was to live up to his reputation of being a relentless vigilante whom all criminals should fear and thus think twice before perpetuating lives of crime. It’s great compassion! Reminds me of Bodhisattvas who work selflessly and thanklessly in disguise.<\/p>\n
