The ambiguity is characteristic of the work by Adriaan Rees and it is manifested especially in Pieces of Batman. Batman is a lifesaver and a black angel at the same time; someone who protects lives but also takes them. This batman is not a stout-hearted hero – he has been critically dissected and exposed.
