BATMAN
I've been thinking a lot about Batman this week. After watching Batman Begins last weekend with Jason, Debbie, Michael, Garth, and Karena, I can't stop marveling over the Dark Knight. By the way, the movie was really good, but probably a little too dark for kids.
Anyway, getting back to what I was saying, even though I still like Superman the best, there's something appealing about Batman. It's comforting, in a way, to know that you can actually become Batman just by working out hard, training, and having a cool utility belt (not to mention a cool car, a butler, and a cave ... and millions of dollars to throw away). But you don't have to get bitten by a radioactive spider or come crashing from another planet to have these powers to fight evil.
You can just be anybody ... like me.
(Or a guy who is very buff and likes to wear tight black shirts and because of stiffness and an arthritic condition, has to look up by using his whole body, not just his back. Hmmm ... who could I be referring too?)
