thinking heroism inspired
First of all, what made him [Duke in "Zero Year"] captivating is this sense of somebody who wants to save the city regardless of whether Batman wants to or not, but has been inspired by Batman. He's always been - not combative with Batman or anything - but I think he has a sense that what Robin is and what heroism is in Gotham is something that's inspired by Batman and sort of separate from Batman.
believe character heroism
Duke is a character who believes that heroism and the Robin mantle can exist entirely separate from Batman himself.
hero reason
I really wanted to make sure that if we set Duke up, that he's set up the right way and he's his own hero for the right reasons.
hero people training
A post-9/11, modern take being Batman training people to be the heroes they know they can be on their own.
hero character thinking
KGBeast starts chasing our heroes in a big way, and you get the return of an old character from the mythology that I think people will be really excited to see.
hero personality psychology
I spoke to Geoff Johns a lot. We went back and forth, and found a way to bring up the best qualities in his personality and psychology and also fill a niche in Gotham that we've never seen. It became about is there a way to really plant this hero in Gotham and say this is someone you haven't seen before - both in terms of who they are as a person and who they are as a hero.
cruel exhausting families limit meaning past people push tv
TV didn't show how cruel this was to them, ... It showed rescues, but not people with no homes, no families because they were gone. It was exhausting in every meaning of the word. You had to push to the limit and push past it. You can't think of yourself.
bruce excited exciting gravitate piece psychology respect toward using wayne
When I get the possibility of using a character like Bruce Wayne or Dick Grayson, I try and think about what's most exciting or interesting about them as a person, so I try and think what they are at their core, or what piece of their psychology do I gravitate toward that I respect, and I'm excited by it when I read books about them.
competence element level people scary seems stories worried
I like stories where people have to face some big demons internally. It always seems to be an element of horror, because it's pretty scary to have to face yourself and the things you're most worried about: your own abilities and your own capabilities and your own level of competence in being a hero.
grad history liked relatively took
I've always been a relatively big history buff. In college, I took a lot of history courses, and when I was in grad school, I liked to audit them.
plenty region showing value
We still see plenty of upside. That region is still showing the most value.
basis certainly country market people region room value
We still see more value in the Asia-Pacific region than in the U.S. market, where people are still panicking over inflation. On a 15- to 20-year basis for a country like Japan, which has had years of market turmoil, there is certainly still room to run.
absent approach four last pragmatic
This is a very pragmatic approach which was completely absent for the last four years.
adhere asked books historical school teacher
I remember when I was in school I had this teacher give me this E.L. Doctorow quote: They asked him how much historical research he does for his books and he said, 'As little as possible.' So I try and adhere to that.
