I figured out what's been bothering me about Bear's weird interpretation of his PM. It reminds me of Pleonast in Dr. Horrible. Both of them jumped to bizarre conclusions not stated in their PMs based on their own assumptions.

In Bear's case, if this is a fake claim, he could just as easily claimed that the PM actually did say Batman had to target him instead of admitting that it was his own idea. It would make much more sense to say it's actually in there if he's lying.

*I joke-claimed Batman, Vigilante Detective in one game. No one believed me. Probably because it was not a Batman themed game.

What was Pleonast's alignment in that game? (Not sure it matters ultimately, but it seems the obvious question.)
