The Teacher, in Brain Aspect, is about evangelizing their own monstrous and dysfunctional view of the world, and when Beast, focuses on instructing others to develop an appreciation for the flawed and horrific things in which they personally take pleasure. Miss Havisham, from Great Expectations, exemplifies Brain through her dysfunctional tutelage of Estella. And Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs is a good example of a Teacher-Beast. Geoffrey Rush’s Marquis de Sade in Quills is a Teacher as well, though difficult to categorize definitively as either Brain or Beast. Perhaps it bears re-stating that you should expect the The Batmans you create and destroy to be just as classification-defying in retrospect. Type and Aspect again, despite efforts in this text to elucidate them with examples from literature, film, and history, are most emphatically not a categorization system, but instead a framework for the collaborative endeavor of The Batman creation.
