| | IGN: Comics in Context #29: Ross's Thunderbolts |
 | | Whereas the Superman sequence was a celebration of family life, the Batman sequence centers on the destruction of the idealized family. |
 | | The killer of Bruce Wayne's parents, whether it is Joe Chill (in old comics continuity), Jack Napier (in the movie) or some unknown party (since the Zero Hour continuity revision), is a Jungian shadow figure almost entirely covered by literal shadow: at one anonymous and an embodiment of dark forces. |
