Batman! (Duhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh) BATMAN!!

Ok, so, I've found a new obsession. His name beith Bruce Wayne... Better known as Batman. Here is how it started...
I just absolutely could not wait for The Dark Knight. So, forcing my mother along for the insanity, I rented the 6 precursors to The Dark Knight (Or so I thought). We watched from 1989 on, including pathetically awful spinoff Catwoman. Ick. After some research, I did discover that the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batmans (Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin) were in fact their own franchise. Batman Begins acts as a franchise restart. So, I guess I wasted my time with the old Batman movies.
So, the obsession. Batman is the realest of all of the superheroes. His skills are from training, his weaponry from hard studying and lots of money. He himself is based on fear and determination. The villains he fights are not special, really... He fights corruption and "Evil", which typically takes the form of someone traumatized or just vengeful. And Batman Begins is one of the best films I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I love this movie more than I can even describe.
I wish that there was some way that I could become and injustice fighter, some way that I too, could become fear itself.
Of course, my sister ES has decided that loving Batman is shameful. Whatever, butterfly girl.
Count Down to The Dark Knight: 11 days :)

be your fear,
Batgirl
