Batman and Lambeth?

[Pontifications] 25 Jul 2008--And Batman? "On the subject of Batman's religious affiliation, there is some disagreement among fans as well as among writers about whether the character is a mostly lapsed Catholic or a mostly lapsed Episcopalian. There is universal agreement that the character is not an active churchgoer in any faith." An extended essay and page here, with images. (Given the state of affairs in both churches, I think either answer would be correct.)

So what would Bruce Wayne, er, Batman, make of the doings at Lambeth, where the Vatican's ranking rep at the meeting, Cardinal Ivan Dias, this week diagnosed the Anglican Communion with Alzheimer's and/or Parkinson's diseases? Nice.
