Dark Night

“It's taken me years to accept what you told me back then, that you were there for me that night. Not as a vigilante swinging to the rescue, but as an ideal, an inspiration. A voice I heard in darkness, commanding me to stand up. The same voice that tells us when we get beaten down, we can accept being a victim or choose to be the hero of our own stories. And we make that choice by standing up.”

A wonderfully told memoir by someone who was such a huge part of the Batman universe and ended up being profoundly affected by him in his real life. It was touching to see how Batman and characters like the Joker helped him on his road to recovery and showed him how to get back up and get through life again.
