I adore Hageman's Batman, who's always a wonderful and rich combo of insensitive jerky guy and vulnerable. The play is hilarious and would be such fun to perform and to see, but it also, wonderfully and smartly, uses the Batman comics to explore toxic masculinity and the sometimes-challenges of male friendship. If you haven't yet read Hageman, read this or any of her other plays and you're in for a treat.
