Even though at 17 it was limited, I had a life before Batman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman.
I was a big Batman fan when I was a kid.
Looking at the Batman pages is like revisiting my youth. My first seven years in New York were the first seven years of Batman itself. While my time on Batman was important and exciting and notable considering the characters that came out of it, it was really just the start of my life.
I'm only 24 so I like to think I'm still close enough to 17 to still remember what it was like. Besides, I could just fake it and get away with it... it's not like there are any teenagers that still read comics.
We've spent almost ten years of our lives making 'Batman' films.
When I was auditioning for 'Gotham,' I got a handful of comics from different decades, so I had a perspective - it's been around for 75 years, which is a long time.
I wasn't as big a comic book aficionado as some of my friends, but I definitely had some Batman comics.
I think about it, and I realize there's been some version of a Batman or Spiderman or Superman franchise since I was a boy, since before I was a boy.
Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime.
Honestly, I wasn't familiar with the whole DC comics world and the Batman world before I was part of 'Gotham.'
