i think it so interesting how bruce wayne, refers to himself the same way he refers to batman. as if he is a persona. he’ll say his name, bruce wayne, as if he isn’t one in the same. it’s actually heartbreaking that he categorizes these parts of himself, and he can never fully be one or the other. and i think it says so much about who he is as a person, as a character. and it’s one of the reasons i relate so deeply to him. he is so complex, and people / fans will demonize him over & over.
his moral compass goes hand in hand with his personality, with his inability to recognize that he is bruce wayne. his trauma runs so deeply, and i will forever defend him. he is by far the most complex character ive ever seen, and he is my favorite character (possibly ever, in any fandom)
