Super Heroes

Superman.

The ultimate Super Hero.  The man of STEEL.  Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

UGH!!! Really? Is this who I want to look to for my ideal super dude?

I guess I'm more of a Batman ("I'm Batman")/Iron Man guy.  While Superman seems impervious to just about everything - well except Kryptonite, but we'll get to that another day - Batman is seriously flawed. I mean come on, he's a multi-millionaire and he dresses like a large bat?!  I really like the fact that he has issues.  Social anxiety disorder, multiple personality disorder (one a bat, one a playboy, who knows how many others are lingering inside that head), family issues and maybe even a savior complex.  I don't really know how he even gets out of bed in the morning.  Maybe that's the thing.  He's found something bigger that he is striving for.

It seems that through the echoes of his past he's found a direction.  A goal.  A reason to be more than Bruce Wayne (Spoiler Alert!).  I can't say that he's really dealing with all the issues that are present, but I do appreciate that he's used his resources to not only fund some "Make Gotham Beautiful" campaign, but to go out, get dirty and do some good.

SO - Why is this important to me?  Well I know that we all have moments when we don't really know what our direction truly is.  We flounder.  We fall.  We get kicked in the teeth, and many times it's by our own choices.  I want to continue to find ways to remove myself from the self-loathing, wallowing in self-pity person and find the Super Hero inside.

Oh, and I love all his GADGETS!!!!!!
