I am not Superman, I am Batman

Or maybe I should better say: I’m 80% Batwoman, and 20% Superwoman. 😉 I’m not a big comic fan, so my apologies in advance to all who take comics seriously if the analogy that follows seems a bit farfetched to you. However, I have seen enough movies to know that...

I’m not Superman, I’m Batman.

Or maybe I should better say: I’m 80% Batwoman, and 20% Superwoman. 😉

I’m not a big comic fan, so my apologies in advance to all who take comics seriously if the analogy that follows seems a bit farfetched to you.

However, I have seen enough movies to know that Superman’s superpowers are innate whilst Batman’s are acquired. Where Superman has the strength to lift cars and stop bullets, Batman has gadgets that pull him up, a cape that doubles as a parachute, and a cool car that turns into a motorcycle – not to mention a top-notch trainer and a heck of a support system and partner in Alfred.

In that sense, I think of my interpreter self more as Batman than Superman.
