Batman, by contrast, is attached. He is attached to order. He is attached to the rule of "no killing." He is attached to the memory of his parents.

In Zen Buddhism, there is a famous koan: “What is the sound of one hand clapping?” It is a riddle without a logical answer, designed to short-circuit the rational mind and force a leap into intuition.

In the context of Zen-BAT01, the "01" is the —the face you had before your parents were born, before you were named Bruce, before the alleyway.

Zen offers a similar contingency plan for the ego. Your ego is Superman. It is powerful, invulnerable, and convinced it is the hero. Your mindfulness is Kryptonite.

But Zen says: You cannot revert. You can only witness.
