Every generation has its Batman. Every generation around it could find fault with the portrayal, only as with the divisive nature of religion, there are too many gods in which to hoist your devotion and understanding too. Better it seems is to acknowledge that each interpretation is but a part of a whole, take what you want from it, leave good karma, and revel in perhaps one of graphic novel and comic history’s finest ever creations.
