: Finally, the reason why Batman wears the suit makes total sense. In Phantasm, Bruce Wayne goes out for his first night of crime fighting wearing all black and a ski mask. When he meets some criminals, they laugh at him and attack him. He wins, but he gets his ass kicked. He goes home and tells Alfred: "They weren't afraid of me, Alfred. I have to make them afraid of me!" That's when he gets his inspiration to fight crime in a costume. It makes so much sense.
Yeah, but I'll take the whole thing from Year One over it. He gets the shit beaten out of him by hookers, and he's going to die unless he thinks of a way to scare them. Enter the old, hackneyed bat-through-the-study scene.
Oh, and sorry about the subject line.
