Super hero implies there is something supernatural about you, in my opinion. So nah, I wouldn't consider Batman or even Nightwing etc a superhero. In fact my friend who reads the Nightwing comics told me that on his first mission he ends up getting... shall we say
sexually used against his will... by a woman. There ain't nothing super about him if he couldn't even stop that one :P
Haha good point. But every superhero has their slip ups. I'm sure that even Superman has screwed up at one point. Just because they're superheroes does't mean they are perfect. For example, Batman screwed up when he could have prevented Jason Todd from dying. That was super sad. :c
What is your favorite Comic Book company: MARVEL!
Who is your favorite character?: Iron Man. But also Wolverine.
What is your favorite comic book TV show or movie?: I really liked X-men Evolution :3 My favorite live action movies in this genre are Batman The Dark Knight and the whole Iron Man trilogy. Batman because Christopher Nolan is god, and Iron Man because Tony Stark (RDJ or not) is love and I loved all three movies.
Why do you want to join the club?: WHY HAVEN'T I JOINED THIS CLUB YET AASKJH GARBLE GARLKLnj hi I just want more superhero comic talk in my life. :3
As for the topic, I don't think you need a supernatural power to be a superhero. The difference between hero and superhero imo is the costume, the defining "powers" or accessories as well as a mission/crusade/goal to be fighting for. Which most often has to do with countering supervillains. A hero could be anyone doing something heroic.
Woooooooooo! Welcome to the club man. We now have cookies!
baked them myself. Feel free to take one...IF YOU DARE!! :3
ow we gotta get Sheep and Dero to join. xp
Is Batman as much of a superhero as someone like Superman or Captain Marvel?
I definitely have to say this, superheroes doesn't mean you're a hero. Its the symbol, the example it stands for, that matters more. If you haven't watched the Dark Knight trilogy, watch it. It is the perfect example when Batman/Bruce Wayne explained it.
Hm, different. I really liked your answer to the question; great example too. That trilogy had some of the best quotes, many of them coming from Alfred. Symbolism plays much in heroes, yes? It also plays a large role in the villains as well.

Besides the delicious cookies, here's some more food for thought:
“I Don’t Read Comics As A 49 Year Old Man” – Nicolas Cage
What are your guys' thoughts about older people reading comics. Do you think there should be a certain cut off age where comics can become immature? As he says in the article, there's nothing wrong with it. However, much of society looks down on comic book readers. The stereotype that all comic book readers live in their mother's basement and eat cheetos all day has been prevalent throughout the ages.
