I can vividly remember the night Ian Peek revealed who Batman was.

My whole family was sitting on the couch together (yes, my mom and dad of all people, were sitting together just to find out who Batman was), and there was popcorn and Coke. The TV was on, and Mom was asking me to sit on the couch with her. Apparently there was something good on the TV tonight, and both my parents wanted me to see it.

So I sat down with them. I didn't know what I was going to be seeing until Terry's blurred image without his mask on appeared. When I saw that, I told my parents I had to go to the bathroom. Dad tried to get me to sit, but I told him it was an emergency. He kept insisting that I could hold it, and that I hadn't appeared to need to go to the bathroom when I sat down with them.

When the footage began playing, I got out of there and ran to the bathroom and locked myself in there.

I can still remember how much I wanted it to be a dream. How much I wanted someone to pinch me to wake me up.
