''Batman's a really big deal,'' adds Goyer, nodding to the pressure that they're under. ''It's funny. I remember when I was writing, we were invading Iraq. And I was sitting on Chris' porch [with] The New York Times. And on the front page there's a photograph just above the fold of this Marine in Fallujah and a bunch of Iraqi children around him. And one of the kids, who couldn't have been more than 2, had no pants and a filthy, bloody T-shirt. A Batman T-shirt. I pointed to the photo and I said to Chris, 'This is how big Batman is. This is what we've taken on here.''' With that, Goyer pauses to consider the obvious implication: Batman may be the greatest American icon of the last 100 years. And they better not #@!* it all up.
