In the past, I've probably talked about having super powers and wishes from Genies... but it's on my mind right now and I've got a few minutes to kill before a meeting.
If you could be a super hero? Who would you be? What would you stand for? Where would you live?
We'd all like to think that we would stand for Truth, Justice, blah blah blah. But would we stick to that? In a world with no evil super-villains, where blue-collar workers can be just as deadly as a crack-head living on the street, who would you target? When you discover that the police department wants to bribe you to turn the other way, would you take the money? Would you "play ball"? How about the day you realize that you could use your powers for evil? Become a crime boss....be surrounded by women, money, and loyal followers.
Ok, now that we're on the same page, here's the real question:
If you had to pick one super hero to become, who would it be? Superman? Batman? Bananaman? (I bet you don't even remember that show).
They all have strengths and weaknesses, and I don't mean kryptonite. Sure, it would be great to be Superman. He's almost unstoppable. But he can never "be with a woman". If his super powers got out of control then he'd probably kill her.
Batman is my favorite. He's just a normal man, but he's smarter than most heroes. He pushes his body to the limit every day, and he wears a cool outfit. But think of the emotional trauma he deals with? He can't function as a normal person in society. He's constantly angry, and obsessed with stopping crime. He'll die old and alone some day.
They all have good and bad qualities. So which would you choose?

I've always been partial to Robin. You've got Batman watching your back, you're almost as smart, strong and as good a fighter as he is, and you're aren't bound by the silent conviction to die old and lonely like he is.
