My Love Affair with Batman

Recently I had a discussion with a friend about superheros, and which ones were our favorites. It started as a light chat to pass the time on the beach but it soon turned into a pretty enlightening discussion. Since I was a kid, no movie has struck me emotionally and caught my attention as much as Batman 1 and 2 did. Till today I remember the goosebumps I felt when Batman went into The Penguin's cave and how seeing Batman didn't bring the YAY reaction from me as Superman would. Instead his presence made me silent and intrigued. So my friend kept asking why Batman? My answer to that was always because he was more human than all the other superheros. He's a deep dark person with complexities. He is mysterious, with a lot of layers to discover. I just was attracted to that. Why would I do that to myself, I don't really know...but there it is...I am insane! And like complex people who don't necessarily fit your definition of "normal". Oh well, maybe life will teach me to start liking Superman instead...wouldn't that be a drag?
