I like how Lib Jie doesn't give a fuck about Hero's image. After all he's been retired a long time ago, now becoming a freelancer hero for monetary reason.
@anotherone i recently heard the theory that each batman villain is a twisted reflection of batman — though apparently it wasn’t so solid that i remember which facet and villain go together. either way, the villain as something the hero _could_ have become is a good storytelling technique
