I'm a little confused about Batman's statement that "this time... it's forever!" That implies that he was blind before the operation and has become blind again, but that's not true, is it? I thought he didn't see CLEARLY, except for bright colors, not that he couldn't see at all - seeing colors was his whole thing. Is he one of those people who are 'legally blind', and that's what Bats is referring to, or what? (Come to think of it, I bet he'd have a hell of a hard time driving a car...)
