BATMAN. Let's talk about Batman, because I don't think anyone has said enough things, made enough memes, or re-posted enough news stories about all things concerning BATMAN.
I’ve always figured being a superhero is a pretty shitty job. Yeah, you’ve got supernatural powers that allow you to keep mere mortals safe from the evils of the world, but one’s nobleness would no doubt be undermined if he or she invoiced every damsel rescued from distress, right? I’ve never actually read a comic book, so maybe someone can tell me if there are any that can confirm whether or not the pay is shit. Case in point: super villains. Besides taking over the world for some reason, the primary motivation for most super villains is gettin’ rich while our fabled heroes struggle to stop them solely out of an obligation to their moral sensibilities.
Back to Batman. He’s the exception here. Bruce Wayne was born rich and had a bone to pick since he was a kid, when The Joker or Plant Girl or someone killed his parents. He has no supernatural prowess, but rather an arsenal of the most dangerous toys money can buy and the funds to bankroll the intense training only a ninja fantasy camp in the Himalayas can offer. When he’s not fighting crime, he’s probably playing golf with the Green Hornet at the Gotham City Country Club while Superman works a day job and flies to the North Pole to squat in an ice cave.
Even if you disagree (meaning your opinion is indeed wrong), you probably STILL want to know why you’ve read this far and I haven’t seen a single word that relates to music. This is still a music blog, right?
