Or, alternately, played for pathos rather than hypocrisy. When the Bat says "he who forgets the face of his father" he's thinking about the
image of his father's face as he died, burned forever into his memory.
The only real problem is the dissonance between the Gunslinger, who follows essentially a religion of the gun, and the Batman, who refuses to use one. Their
attitudes towards death are similarly unalike.

Jean-Paul Valley was just a mild-mannered, somewhat socially inept computer programmer, until he woke up one morning and discovered that he had been
brainwashed by the Order of St Dumas, and had had an avenging warrior-psyche implanted behind his own, calling him out to do battle against the unrighteous.
Check. It was a little odd, but he's learned to deal with it. He adapted. Then, this morning, he woke up and something *else* was different.
Specifically, he was a teenager again. A female teenager. An aquatic, female teenager with a cave full of sporks.
