"Once I decided to retire from my position as a butler.
'I need a disguise' said
and I thought it was completely mad with grief, especially for the next words. ..
but when I understood what he meant,
when I saw how he surrendered to an ideal ...
how he used every test, every pain and every failure to make itself a better man ...
what could I do but bend in humble admiration?
And keep his wounds cleaned and ironed his uniform.
and send it with my blessing on his way.
The enemy will turn away for an instant only, underestimated for a split second too long.
And as the night is dark ...
evil will have no place to hide. "
Alfred Pennyworth
