Padma Lakshmi

I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman.

Bob Kane

Our masks, always in peril of smearing or cracking, in need of continuous check in the mirror or silverware, keep us in thrall to ourselves, concerned with our surfaces.
