    This reminds me of a weird joke I heard once. It went something like this:

    Imagine Bruce Wayne (in a very generous interpretation of the character) actually achieving all of his goals, not only ending crime in Gotham City but ending the conditions for crime even happening in Gotham City. That Gotham City would become a shining city upon the hill that is an inspiration to cities beyond, and eventually entire countries. Eventually, the crime-fighting masked vigilante that Bruce Wayne portrayed wouldn’t need to exist as something for villains to fear, but for everyone to aspire for as an ideal. Wayne Enterprises would become more than a corporation; it would become a political movement, then a philosophical one, aspiring to invent a new and better way of life. Indeed, imagine centuries of this rising, improving way of life until life itself transcended its old boundaries, even mortality itself, until one day, on a distant world…

    A weary bedraggled being in search of answers to spiritual questions comes across a burning bush, awestruck by the sight, and asks the burning bush’s name.
