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-archetypical 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!

Sorry, sorry, not your fault at all. I was being facetious about the costume. Something about the heroic caped crime fighter in black leather. Although, let's face it, the show pretty much made their own joke about that in 8.6 with Lucas in the biker gear. Actually, now I think about it, even the coat he wore for a couple of episodes of season 7 could suffice as a sort of parodic superhero costume. He was wearing the coat when carrying out his capture-and-turn exercise on Mr Kachimov, so the revenge angle is covered there as well

Thanks for the interview information. I will keep an eye out for the season 7 boxset at a sensible price. Or, you know, work on perfecting my cross-continental mind-tapping skills to retrieve the necessary information direct from RA's brain. One of these options is bound to result in success
