Why the animals?
What is the significance of people turning into animals in Bruce's mind? Why those animals? Any reference to a specific children tale?
shareI don't know if they reference anything specific, but they obviously represent his own hidden demons and they seem to appear any time he's under stress or especially emotional. The tapeworm is a good example of how he considers himself a parasite, feeding off the results of his terrible behavior.
"Same rules apply, Bruce."
