I disagree that covers it. If it does, then the categories are so broad as
to be meaningless. When your seven plots are "funny", "sad", "conflict",
"romance", ..., I think the analysis is pointless. It's like saying "All
programs fall into only a few categories: GUI, CLI, Server, ..." It tells
you nothing useful about the program itself.
Which one is the monster? The city? The mob? The joker? Two-face? Crane?
Batman's own fear?

Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
I get "focus follows gaze"?
