And that's distinguished company, of course; Superman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine - winners all, and worthy of our respect and adulation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Batman rises above them all, because he is a \u003ci\u003eman\u003c\/i\u003e. Superman? Alien. Spider-Man? Radioactive bug bite victim. Cap? Supersoldier experiment. Wolverine? Mutant. Batman is none of these; we are reminded of Bruce Wayne's exchange with Barry \"Flash\" Allen in \u003ci\u003eJustice League\u003c\/i\u003e: \"What are your superpowers again?\" \"I'm rich.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBatman has no actual superpowers; he has only his mind, his wits and his resourcefulness. Billions of dollars certainly help, his wonderful toys are second-to-none; but Batman isn't a superhero by chance or genes or amuck science - he's a superhero through\u003ci\u003e sheer will\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe is often the superhero we want to be, the guy we wish we were. He prevails against the worst humanity can muster, not through overwhelming power, but overwhelming competence. His will is indomitable; he is an unstoppable force of nature because he \u003ci\u003echooses\u003c\/i\u003e to be. We covet that consciousness; we wish for that will. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd here in these brief pages, we'll celebrate him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798826310670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.26d","brand":"Scott Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852064076031,"sku":"9798826310670","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/batman-and-me-scott-robinson-9798826310670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
