Spartan Buddha

I can’t speak to animals or read their minds (yet) but I imagine wild animals like wolves and tigers have no religion. Having a moral compass dictated by some authority figure probably isn’t very useful when everyday is like a game of Russian Roulette to find food and survive. Their morals are ‘Stay Alive.’ Wild animals probably aren’t happy because happiness is for domestic creatures but wild animals never have mid- or quarter-life crisis either. I think.

Batman is about a domesticated boy grieving over his parents death by creating himself into a wild man. He’s wild in the sense that he’s above the law. He created his own set of rules and moral codes. Batman answers to NO ONE but himself. He has no god. On one hand you can say that Batman is miserable because he’s obsessed with fighting crime. But on the other hand, you can imagine that he gets a kick out of running the Batmobile over Killer Croc’s leg and fracturing the Riddler’s floating rib with a well placed kick. Then he finishes the night by going back to his mansion and pouring champagne on supermodels to maintain his secret identity.
