A parallel I am drawing How do you mean, in terms of the costume? I was referring to the idea of Batman being the anti-archetypal hero; someone who is rather dark and twisted by his own desire for revenge, yet is still essentially a hero at heart (if that's what you were asking? Sorry, I typed out my post in the early hours of the morning and may not have been very clear!).

There isn't much else about him in that particular snippet, I'll re-watch the clip and see if RA mentions anything else. I'm not sure he's spoken much about the finer points of Lucas' character though If only we could rope him in to explain to us exactly what was going on in Lucas' head!

Also, I was in London today looking at various art galleries, when I happened to stumble across this Blake quote in one of the exhibitions:

"I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create."

Naturally, my first thought was "Lucas!" (you know you're a fan of Spooks when... ), so I thought I'd share it with you to support the argument that Lucas has a desire to control the system rather than be under its control, yet perhaps because of his inability to control the system surrenders his control to others? Interpret as you wish!
