Nornagest: We\\\'ve been discussing this title on the forums, and a consensus seems to have been reached to rename it to I Am The X, its original YKTTW working title. Use of \\\"trope\\\" as a metasyntactic variable in titles is considered harmful.

If this consensus is not broken before 5 June 2009, the contents of this page will be moved to I Am The X.

Lale: Batman\\\'s line originated in the animated series, unless someone can find a comic book quote that pre-dates it.







For the record, some debate has arisen over the name, although there still seems to be a consensus to rename this page.

Stormtroper: Ahh, thank you, that makes things much clearer.
