batman...

Life is a composite of certain infallible truths... there are decisions and regrets based on those decisions that plague our lives.. this for one is not a self assessment and thus an entry filled with stories of what all has and is going wrong...this is just me trying to interpret what its like being a superhero...everytime i see a superhero flick the kid inside me wakes up toying with the idea of  self mutation/deprivation/space travel/gamma exposure and the like to basically transmogrify (calvin like) into my alter ego... akin to stupendous man...
Now this is in itself is far fetched I know but then again that is not the point why I started typing, what I do wanna discuss is superheroes... the ones that are not the me that is not...Batman by far (in his current avatar and thanks to christopher nolan) is the one I admire the most and its not because of his hoarse tone... its not because The Joker made the dark knight what it was... its more so cuse of the dark inner side he has... the genesis of his being is somewhat similar to spiderman... a common thief/street urchin laying to waste a somewhat perfect life... and thats when the story differs... Batman makes himself who he is by sheer willpower and loads of gymtime... and unlike superman/spidey/x men/green lantern etc he became the vigilante the protector... so every wound every scratch leaves its mark. the people he takes on are not in the same class as maybe the goblin or the sand man or as influential as lex luthor. But they pack a punch... the Joker, Dr freeze, the riddler, two face r not your average joes... n they are menacing, but Bane is by far the deadliest. Joker as essayed was a portrayal of a mad man... Bane is a mad menace and his superhuman strength makes him a vicious tyrant.

So in a fudged attempt to hide my disappointment over the spidey redux version I now start the countdown to July 20th... when the final chapter of batmans yet illustrious career gets written... In a world beset by inequities and full of individuals who rather see it burning I wait for the dark knight to rise and step forth to claim the crown of the superhero we await adore and love so much...
