    This reponse Morrison is giving is making me see his approach to Batman in a whole new light. Morrison’s train of thought about Batman’s continuity is that everything is canon. And for Batman to be the figure that he is today, he had to grow from the gun toting knight of vengeance from the Golden Age to this beacon of justice that has sworn off killing that he is today. The original Golden Age version was like this single cell organism, but as time went on, that version of him had to adapt and multiply for it to survive. Each era of Batman is like growing pains in a child. Although the inherent DNA of Batman will always be there, he will no doubt change when I’m alive and will keep changing long after I’m dead. The train of thought of each era is like, “How does the inherent DNA react to a different enivronment and what kind of changes does it go through to survive?”.

    Even if my other post just there was not correct, his approach would still be valid because there are many different 'levels of description' in science, this is just one of them, a non-time-dependent broad view of things...and he gives it an ontological validity by explaining it in terms of 'mitochondria'..Dawkins, Daarwin do the same, the gene lives on through the generaions, is that false just because individuals die? Or genes only express themselves in individuals?

    I think that reality is really not as it seems to most people most of the time and that our brains have developed, and society conditions us, in a way that makes us see things not as they are. For example, we see ourselves as an entity in the present and the past behind us and gone, but science, physics, teaches us that the view of time in the video is much more apt. In special relativity there is no preferred inertial frame. We do trail back in time like snakes.

    Even though there might be this immortal mitochondria, it still, from what I gather, did not exist at the Big Bang or before. The conception of the immortal mitochondria on Earth or the seeding of it via a comet slamming into Earth would be something to look into. Abiogenesis would probably have more to say on this matter. It's a fairly interesting and logical assessment from a non-scientist though.

    This guy is my all-time favorite comic book writer, but why can't life just be life, death be death, and the past be the past? I've spent years of my life thinking that a profound realization could come from muddying up those lines, and come up with nothing- just a muddied picture of reality. I think that there is a point to life and a meaning to existence, but to find the answers, one must retain what one knows and expand upon it. Telling ourselves that we are confused about everything that we think we know will not lead us anywhere!
