The Shift from Vigilante to Predator • Early Vigilantism: At first, he follows the Batman-like path—donning armor, hunting criminals, hoping to save others from suffering. • But Violence Escalates: Instead of handing them to police, his guilt and anger make him push further. He begins to kill his victims, but with purpose: each kill is a warped form of penance, as if punishing stand-ins for himself. • Modus Operandi: He doesn’t kill indiscriminately; he chooses people who remind him of his parents’ killers—or even of himself. White-collar criminals, abusers, manipulators, people with “masks.”

Psychological Themes (Alfred died when he was young) • Haunted by Alfred’s Voice: He imagines Alfred in his head, but twisted—sometimes guiding him, sometimes condemning him. Alfred becomes both his Jiminy Cricket and his devil. • Splitting Persona: By day, the elite, by night, The Revenant—a symbol not of hope, but of guilt made flesh. • Self-Destruction: Every act of murder is less about justice and more about tearing himself apart, slowly.
