You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so that you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.

Thinking about the newer bats (Duke, Cass, Steph, Tim) speculating on Jason's age because he looks like a recently divorced 30 y/o but he's younger than Dick, and he acts like a 50 year old man (he still has a Nokia, out of the loop on Internet and pop culture, primarily listens to dad rock), and after they've exhausted all their guesses Dick breezes in, informs them he's like 24, and then leaves.
The bats then have to come to terms with the fact that Jason NINETEEN when he took over the criminal underground.

Broke: vampires are vulnerable to the trappings of Christianity only, particularly Catholicism, no matter how dubiously applied. (See: Van Helsing's Communion wafer grouting).
Woke: vampires are vulnerable to sincere faith of all kinds, and atheist vampire-hunters need to believe very strongly in the Power of Friendship or their love of Star Trek to get by.
Bespoke: vampires are vulnerable to the faith that they followed when they were alive, and hunters tracking down an ancient vampire are obliged to learn about Neo-Babylonian theology or Middle Palaeolithic bear cults.

Astolfo debella le Arpie - Astolfo vanquishes the harpies
by Massimo d’Azeglio
The painting was executed in 1835, as it is remembered as a recently completed work in a letter from Francesco Gonin to the artist dated 1 January, 1836. The subject is taken from canto XXIII of Orlando Furioso. D'Azeglio's predilection for Ariosto is clearly expressed in Ricordi, chapter VII, dealing with early readings of the classics: "I preferred Dante and Ariosto to everyone, and still today I prefer them". The relationship between literature and painting is a typical trait of Azeglian work, but it is all the more present in these Milanese years which coincide with the writing of the novel Ettore Fieramosca with the attendance of Manzoni and Grossi, with the resounding success of his landscapes animated by historical and romantic scenes. The painting was exhibited in Brera in 1837, where numerous paintings by d'Azeglio were presented, including three of Ariosto's subjects. In the work the interest in the landscape (mountainous and wild, just lightened by a grazing light) is preponderant; the winged figure, pointing downwards, suggests depths and hollows between the first and second floors.
Gift of the Marquis Emanuele Taparelli d'Azeglio, Turin 1877

Always love how much folklore especially creature folklore emphasizes that there is a way for you to win. These are the steps to ensure the dead don't rise: take them out through a hole in the wall and give them iron shoes. Vampires cannot abide sunlight. If you hear a dog howl on a churchyard path turn around and get home as fast as you can. Iron and salt and the colour red. None of this doomed idea, the world is incomprehensible but if you're a bit clever you'll survive it just fine, there's always ways out.

I love it when characters are immune to psychic attacks/emotional manipulation magic/psychoactive drugs or whatever, but for DEEPLY mentally ill reasons.
Fear gas? I already have an anxiety disorder. Also you don't know the meaning of fear until you have a category 5 autism event in the middle of a social scene and know you'll get severely punished if you act out
Depression aura? Bitch I live an economically productive, nutritionally balanced and physically active life that other people rely on like this.
Haunted? How would my ADHD ass even know?
Pain machine? Hm. If your machine's "10/10" is my "4", I should probably talk to my doctor about better meds.
Oh, we're all mutually unintelligible? This is Tuesday with Autism and Audio Processing issues.
There's something very cathartic about a character facing down the horrors and laughing because the antagonist can't even get close to what they already live with.
