batman does too. even while denny o'neil wrote the books. ... until denny o'neil later unwrote his own books, and everyone elses.
whoops!
Son of the Demon was one of the better Bat-stories I have read. Editorial decree has rendered it an Elseworlds. Fucking stupid. Best bit of development in Bats' life ever, and Denny decides Bats doesn't have sex.
