2022 Year End: Looking back while moving forward

COVID-19

In reflection: 

There is beauty in this day. The treasure that it offers. Time swiftly fleets. Moments come and can instantly be swept away. Standing actively alert. Carrying all my imperfections and historical patterns. Wanting to address what crooked forks taint in engagements I am immersed within. 

Seeking optimism in this new, yet to roll out year. Learning more each new instant I choose to embrace. Demanding more of everyone, including myself, to bring our better selves forward. Admitting where we all fall short. Offering more love and care in this place we call home. +++

New understanding: Near Enemies 🧠 🧐

“Near enemies are states that appear similar to the desired quality but actually undermine it.” — Chris Germer 

Examples: Pity is the near enemy of compassion. Attachment is the near enemy of love. Sympathy is the near enemy of empathy. Control is the near enemy of connection. Indifference is the near enemy of equanimity.

Batman #332-335. February-May, 1980. By Marv Wolfman, Irv Novick, Frank McLaughlin, Don Newton, Steve Mitchell and John Celardo.

Robin decides to leave Batman's side, refusing to tolerate Talia's presence in the Batcave. Not giving much thought to Robin's decision, Batman investigates the Gregorian Falstaff problem and discovers that his foe is being bankrolled by an outside interest from a Swiss bank account. He deduces that Caroline Crown, Bruce Wayne's new secretary, has been feeding Falstaff Wayne Enterprises information and, going to see her, finds Ms. Crown with a mutate, who threatens to harm "Elizabeth" unless she keeps up the information supply. Batman is unable to best the mutate in battle and is knocked unconscious, while Caroline Crown flees.

The next day, Caroline Crown confesses to Bruce Wayne that her daughter Elizabeth is being held prisoner by Gregorian Falstaff in an upstate hospital. When Wayne confronts Falstaff in the latter's office, he discovers that Falstaff has bought up the mortgages on Wayne's Asian oil properties, making most of Wayne's assets virtually worthless. Bruce angrily refuses Falstaff's offer to work with him as his lackey.

Meanwihle, Robin goes to Catwoman for help with the Falstaff affair. That night, Talia tries to drug Batman and goes to Falstaff's office herself. Batman, who just pretended to be drugged, trails her to Falstaff's place and confronts the crooked man's thugs an army of mutates. When Batman defeats the monsters, he goes looking for Falstaff. Holding Elizabeth Crown hostage, Falstaff sends an energy-globe at Batman using a strange weapon, but Talia kicks him from behind into the globe and Falstaff disintegrates.

Talia explains that Falstaff once worked for her father, who gave him the globe-shooter. She then embraces and kisses Batman, just as Catwoman and Robin arrive at the place to investigate. Heartbroken, Catwoman goes away leaving Robin behind.

On the high seas, Archer Templeton thinks he has made an escape from Infinity Island, a twin-peaked volcanic isle in the middle of the ocean, by raft. But a red energy-globe from one of the island's peaks engulfs him and destroys him. In his raft, a small radio transmitter beeps on.

Days after the previous events, Catwoman tracks down a gang of crooks pulling a chemical warehouse robbery. She apprehends all but one, Joseph Walters, whom she traces back to Karlyle Krugerrand, who was Falstaff's former right hand. Krugerrand is apparently continuing Falstaff's work as he informs Walters that he and Falstaff were indeed working for another master.

Krugerrand then tries to use the chemicals and the electricity from a Gotham power station to transform several subjects into mutates. Catwoman battles Krugerrand and knocks him backwards as the equipment, powered beyond its limits, explodes and Krugerrand, Walters and the mutates are destroyed. Catwoman trudges off, suspecting that Krugerrand's and Falstaff's employer is Talia, who, unknown to her, is watching her leave the power station.

In Katmandu, Nepal, King Faraday receives the radio signal from Archer Templeton's transmitter, for which he has been waiting ten years.

Meanwhile, Batman, disguised as Karlyle Krugerrand, is allowed inside the Criminal Bank in Montfaucon, Switzerland, which handles cash for virtually all criminal organizations in the world. He learns that Falstaff did business with the bank, but his disguise is penetrated and he is wounded while escaping. Upon returning to the hotel he is staying at, Talia heals Bruce with her special salve. In the privacy of their room, he confides to her that Falstaff was hired to ruin Bruce Wayne, but he does not know why.

That night, Bruce and Talia face another assassination attempt, and decide that the best way to meet their next contact, one Captain Torrents, in Hong Kong is to cross the heavily-guarded Red Chinese border. They manage to do so, despite several perils. Bruce leaves Talia behind as he boards Torrents' junk, The Phoenix. But once on board, Bruce is locked into a room which is filled with sleep gas, and he falls victim to the fumes instantly.

Robin and Catwoman are present when Ronald Watkins is released from jail for spilling information about Gregorian Falstaff. Timothy Fox, who also goes free, is astonished to hear that Falstaff paid Watkins to raid the Wayne Foundation building, to beat Lucius Fox and intended to have him kill Timothy later. Upon release, Tim and Lucius have a heartfelt reunion.

Later, Commissioner Gordon contacts Robin and tells him that King Faraday has been tryig to contact Batman. Knowing that Batman is not currently in Gotham, Robin and Catwoman answer the summons to Shanghai, China. Once there, Faraday tells the two that his old partner, Archer Templeton, recently sent a radio signal as agreed upon ten years ago. But all that arrived with the transmitter was an empty raft with the word "Batman" scrawled on it. Since Batman could not be contacted, Faraday opted to try for Robin.

Faraday, Robin and Catwoman go to meet an informant, who is killed by an assassin that escapes. When Faraday is kidnapped, Catwoman decides to get some information from the local criminals and she takes Robin with her in disguise. In her civilain identity, Selina and his "partner" meet Chin Ho, a fence and dope smuggler knowledgeable about all Far Eastern crime. While in his shop, Ho tries to drug them unconscious, but only Robin falls for the trap. Selina tries to fight back, but she is outnumbered and easily defeated.

Moments later, Selina and Dick awaken to find themselves strapped to slabs. Chin Ho informs them that he will now have revenge on Catwoman for her past interference with his smuggling operations. He orders his aides to inject them with cocaine until they die of an overdose.

Batman awakens in a strange room on Infinity Island and is soon attacked by a horde of men, who seem strangely possessed. Unconscious again, the Dark Knight is dragged to another room where he is shown the two classes of lives on the island. A strange voice then offers Batman the option to either become one of his loyal followers or suffer as a slave in the mines. The voice also tells the Dark Knight it has been he who was behind the dealings of Gregorian Falstaff in Gotham City concerning Wayne Enterprises.

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, Catwoman and Robin escape from the clutches of Chin Ho and free a captured King Faraday. Later, the trio follow Faraday's lead and find themselves in a boat on the Indian Ocean, where they are captured by red energy globes and transported to the mines of Infinity Island.

Batman, seeing Robin, Faraday, and Catwoman in the mines becomes enraged and refuses the mysterious voice's entreaty to join him. Dumped with the other three heroes, Batman leads an escape from the mines and they, in turn, head toward the Golden Dome at the center of the island. Inside the dome, the quartet encounters Talia, who has begun to age uncontrollably. Talia states she must join with the mysterious voice as only he can halt the aging process she is experiencing. While Talia joins with the mastermind, Batman and the others have to confront several of the mutates that control the island.

A minute later, Talia emerges from behind a curtain, young again, hand in hand with her supposedly deceased father, Ra's al Ghul. Ra's then offers Batman the “touch of immortality” or instant death for himself and his friends.

Batman accepts Ra's al Ghul's invitation to join his ranks and receive the gift of immortality, much to the surprise of Robin, Catwoman, and King Faraday. As the trio of heroes is escorted to the mines, the Dark Knight is shown Ra's Lazarus Pit, where Batman refuses Ra's "touch of immortality". Ra's sets his mutates on Batman and, under sheer weight of numbers, the Dark Knight goes down.

Knowing Batman's agreement to join Ra's was a trick; Robin spearheads an escape from the mines with Catwoman and Faraday. Through directions given by a remorseful Talia, the trio arrive in time to help prevent Batman from being turned into one of the mindless mutates. As the quartet confronts Ra's, Dr. Saltzer arrives unexpectedly and shoots Talia. Angered, Ra's lashes out and kills Saltzer. Then, seeing no other option, the Demon's Head places his daughter in the Lazarus Pit to revive her.

After the short procedure, Talia is removed from the Pit, but when her first words after coming out of the pit are for the Batman and not her father, Ra's feels betrayed and again a confrontation ensues. The Dark Knight instructs the trio of heroes to round up the others on the island and leave as he and Ra's have a final battle above the Lazarus Pit.

The confrontation is long and even, until Batman is forced to dump Ra's into the pit to save himself. However, the demon arises aflame and insane from the pit. In his new state of mind and body, Ra's has the upper hand in the fight and as a last resort, Batman knocks Ra's into the pit again, this time igniting the pit and causing the twin island volcanoes to erupt; an eruption that pushes Infinity Island beneath the ocean. Batman is only able to escape barely thanks to Talia, who was waiting outside for him with a helicopter. On their journey back home, Batman gives in to exhaustion and passes out.

Days later in the penthouse above the Wayne Foundation, a recovering Bruce Wayne is being watched over by Dick and Alfred. After saying his farewells to Talia, Bruce is left to ponder the feelings Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle seem to have for one another. And finally, after lots of arguing about Dick leaving college, Bruce and his ward declare a temporary truce.

From DC Wikia

As far as Ra’s al Ghul stories go, this one is not trying too much to be different. Most of their encounters require a trap (usually through Talia), making Batman do the demon’s deed, eventually an offer and a duel. Ending with Ra’s death.

While it is sad that this seems to be the case with one of the best comic-book wirters of all time, Comic-book writers are usually inspired by books they read. We are like ten years apart from Ra’s first appearance, and you have to remember, comic-book shops were not what they are now. So re-telling stories was in a way acceptable.

Re-reviewing this story I completely forgot what happened to Archer Templeton, which is odd as this story started with him. I imagine he was rescued by Faraday.

Wolfman was writing these issues at the same time he was writing the first issues of New Teen Titans (and you may have already caught the easter egg in the form of H.I.V.E.). His portrayal of Robin here is also strange. But my guess is that Dick Grayson is better when he is not around Batman. And we can understand him. Batman leaves him in the dark most of the times and can never acknowledge his feelings. So, even though we know Dick Grayson is one of the most mentally stable Robins out there (next to Tim), it is my guess that working next to Batman added an extra anxiety that made him less effective. Under these parameters I would have left the Batcave as well. Furthermore, Robin couldn’t be more different than Batman. While Batman has to be convinced to have company, Robin is not afraid to ask other for help (and he usually needs it, come on Dick, did you really have to drink that drugged tea?).

Another small detail almost by the end, Batman is about to die and pretty much throws Ra’s to his death. Now, I know it was self-defense, but it felt like he killed him. Even worse, he had to do it twice. So Batman doesn’t kill, but he doesn’t really disagrees with killing someone that wants to kill him (and actually can).

Or perhaps he already knew the “Ra’s al Ghul story formula” and that he would eventually come back.

I give the arc a score of 7.25.
