A little Ariadne-thread would probably be appropriate.<br /><br />I thought the same thing when I read that sequence in TDKR #2, as well, but I guess the guy Bats shot just "got better." Kind of like Ben Urich in DAREDEVIL, who seems up and around in record time after being skewered by Elektra.Gene Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495562795211277146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621995982503387078.post-66787832635671179992011-04-16T14:32:13.317-05:002011-04-16T14:32:13.317-05:00Thank you for posting these.
I've had a diffic...Thank you for posting these.<br />I've had a difficult time understanding this mythopoetic stuff and these help.<br /><br />I remember arguing with a fellow Miller fan about why Batman didn't finally get rid of the Joker (JOKER to Batman: "They'll never KNOW...that you didn't have the NERVE"). I told him that Batman was a wuss for not having the guts to finally stop him. He told me Batman had a code he had to live by and he could not kill the Joker. I responded by mentioning that Batman had already broken this code when he saved the kid from the Mutants in Book Two.<br /><br />P.S. I'm having a tough time understanding Frye's ANATOMY OF CRITICISM. In the future, could you post a "Mythopoetics for beginners"-type thing, with some book recommendations? I would appreciate it.AT-AT Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542516243211094101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621995982503387078.post-78602583819280947102011-04-16T14:27:14.153-05:002011-04-16T14:27:14.153-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.AT-AT Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542516243211094101noreply@blogger.com
