When I was a kid, Spiderman was my favorite super hero. But as I've gotten older, I'm really much more of a Batman fan.
Don't get me wrong. I still like Spiderman.
He's bitten by a radioactive spider, gets some pretty cool super powers, and then kisses Kirsten Dunst upside down.
Please let me know where I can sign up.
I will say that I was never much of a Superman fan. In fact, I think he's kind of a punk. He's the cool and sexy new guy in town, the one all of the chicks dig. If would have created him, I would've given him an exotic accent just to complete his douche baggy image and perfect abs.
He's got all kinds of superpowers on Earth which he wouldn't have had back on Krypton. There, he would have been just another dude, probably taking antidepressants and watching internet porn.
Thor is a god.
Well, that's not really fair is it?
I don't want to go to any parties where that guy is hanging out. He's just going to be showing off his big hammer and stealing all of the ladies' attention.
I don't need that kind of competition.
Batman is my favorite because he really doesn't have any superpowers. He's a dude who uses his own resources and determination to improve himself and the world around him.
We can't all be Superman, or Spiderman, or Thor. We don't all get the advantage of genetic supremacy or super powers.
But we can be a little bit more like Batman.
We can use our skills, talents, and resources to the best of our ability. And maybe make the world a better place, even if it's in small ways.
If that seems like too much, we can always begin with not judging people and minding our own business.
Also, you can get your uniform at Walmart.
