The title is a critique of pop culture and the perception of superheroes.
Batman may not have supernatural powers, but his dedication to the fight for justice and the protection of the innocent categorizes him in the realm of superheroes. In the work when we see "Batman without a costume" it clearly suggests a loss of identity due to the internal struggle as a superhero and his personal self. This strange behavior indicates that he is restless to find a connection to his sick need to express himself outside of his role as a defender of justice. The action establishes a mysterious dialogue when he writes a letter to Pablo Picasso, raising his doubts about what it means to be a "hero" in art and in real life, implying that it is an encounter between two worlds and still being able to resist the inevitable influence of art in popular culture.
