On my recent brain breaks, I've been tagging posts at scans_daily. Sometimes it's just basic information, like which characters are in the panels, but the majority of the time it's tagging the "scary bat god" posts.

What I'm classifying as "scary bat god" is posts that deal with Batman as being part Bruce and part psychological/spiritual aspect that's a part of Bruce or something Other. I haven't gotten very far, but it's things like Ahtman in "Trinity" and the Batman as really fucking scary imaginary friend of Bruce's in #24 "Gotham Knights."

It's interesting. And it even has a tiny bit of linguistics, because of the names of Athman, Kellel, and Dianna in "Trinty." Which make perfect sense phonologically.

Example: Batman -> Athman

b -> p -> [bilabial fricative (which is similar to f, but not quite) -> h -> [glottal stop] ( or null )
a -> schwa
t -> [aspirated t] because it's the stressed phoneme in the stressed syllable ( like in "attack" )
