The Humanity of the Dark Knight
Growing up, I loved superheroes. As a preschooler I loved the Power Rangers . Advancing in years, I became a fan of Superman, Captain America, The Flash, and both the Justice League and the Avengers. They were strong, powerful, courageous, and always seemed to do the right thing at the right time. While I my favorite superhero will always be Captain America (for his unwavering commitment to 'Merica ) I always felt a close connection to the man in black, the caped crusader, the Dark Knight: Batman. Looking back at it, I always connected with Batman because I could (very unrealistically) become Batman. Superman was from another planet, Captain America was injected with a special serum, the X-Men were mutants (and Wolverine became stronger with adamantium), and the list goes on. Side Note: A similar case can be made for Iron Man. Iron Man was gifted with incredible intuition and intelligence by his father, Howard Stark. All Batman inherited was a cool house and some neat toys
