I had just finished playing Arkham Knight. Batman faces his fears, his paranoia, and his hallucinations in the end and overcomes. I basically sobbed as I finished. Why? Because I have schizophrenia.

It's not even that bad, I'm high-functioning. I joke that it's just enough to ruin your life, but not enough to look disabled to others. But the unintended message hit home.

I paid for a Cameo video from Mr. Conroy. In the introductory text I believe I simply explained how my name is pronounced, that I had schizophrenia and had been extremely moved and inspired to face my fears as Batman did in Arkham Knight. I ended with "THANK YOU".

His reply, this video, is my most prized possession. It's saved me from suicide countless times. Batman telling me he believes in me is extremely powerful... but over time, it's become Kevin believing in me that is equally powerful.

I was not going to share this video until I found out about the comic he did where he discussed his schizophrenic brother. I think it's okay to share since he talked about it publicly. If any of his family want me to take it down just let me know. But this video has inspired me in my hardest moments, and I hope it will inspire someone else too. Push through, because batman believes in you!

This Batman in my opinion is

I loved her, she’s so underrated as catwoman. Doesn’t beat Pfeiffer but does the job!
