* bundled extra: when I talk about narrative exhaustion for a lot of these characters, this is the kind of thing that springs to mind. I have to imagine all the Batman bad guys have battled a few times since 2000 or so. Comics used to get around this by swapping out the entire audience, but comics has in recent years had a significant part of their audience stick around for several years.

* not comics: Tucker Stone writes about twenty years since the horrifying-sounding incident that looks like it saved his life.
