Please note, Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne and Time and the Batman are rated T. In the past, we've seen Batman's final conflict with evil incarnate in the form of Darkseid. We even saw Batman being reaffirmed in his identity. In the course of this journey, though, Batman is directly attacked by Darkseid. He's infected with radiation from Darkseid's Omega Beams, and he's chased through time by Darkseid's Hyper-Adapter. He's directly impacted by the evil he faces. It even tries to make Batman forget who he really is. At the end of the journey, Batman has to be purified of evil's influence to the point of death. Only then can he be made whole. Only then can he continue his mission. In this world, we face evil around us everyday. It can seep inside us. It can lead us to do things that we don't really want to do, as Paul says in Romans. In times like these, we may need to repent. That means turning away from the road we've been on and turning back to God. Baptism is a form of doing that when we first join the Body of Christ as we die to sin and are reborn in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Along the path of life, though, times can get difficult. We might find ourselves in need of renewing our Baptismal Covenant. We do that through services like Reaffirmation, as spoken of before. Batman shows us that ridding ourselves from evil is possible. Just as with Batman, we never do this alone. We do this only through the help of Christ Jesus.
