Diana Muldaur: Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Quotes 

• Bruce Wayne : I couldn't go to a psychiatrist. You're the only doctor I trust, Leslie. It's like I'm living someone else's life. I don't know anything about me anymore. Help me, Leslie, please.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Even though I'm not a psychiatrist, Bruce, your problem seems clear. You've led the sort of life where everything has been handed to you, even Wayne Enterprises. You don't feel you've accomplished anything. It's all been laid out for you. So your unconscious created a life more satisfying to you. You've identified with someone whose every deed has great value.

  Bruce Wayne : Batman.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : It's called disassociation, Bruce. Once you find pride in your own existence, then these delusions will vanish.

  Bruce Wayne : Then all these years of training and discipline... what happened to my parents...

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : A delusion.
