Every so often I like to stir up the muck, open a few eyes, raise a few fists, and perhaps invoke a couple of smiles. I made this digital photograph using a recently devised camera technique. I created the image ‘in-camera’ using my mirror-less FujiFilm X-T1 with the electronic shutter; I did this without unusual external attachments, filters or complicated post-processing manipulation. So, how…

What do 16 Sodiums and a superhero have in common?
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Batman!!
Alright, so here’s the thing about Batman: he’s a hero, a good guy, a defender of justice, and he’s simultaneously being hunted by the law. It doesn’t matter how many bad guys he brings into custody, he’s still a vigilante and is hunted by the police.
Why is this?
It’s because of how they have twisted his image.
To the news reporters, the police, and especially the higher-ups, Batman is just some punk that’s not following the rules. Because of this, he’s put into a light darker than his angst and is seen as a bad guy himself. Of course, most of the general public knows that he’s good—at least the less fortunate (and those that are not convinced that he caused the bad guys to exist, but that’s just in The Dark Knight Returns).
That’s the thing about the media, though. They twist the truth until it fits their purposes. They take the symbol of justice- in this case, Batman- and twist him into a no-good criminal. Although Batman may be technically working outside of the law to arrest the criminals (by ignoring the politics of red tape and bribes that keep the criminals secure from the cops), he still gives them over to the police along with any evidence they need in order to bring down the force of the law on the deplorable characters of Gotham City.
And this is why we can’t have nice things.
