I
must say my favorite superhero is Batman and I feel that way for numerous
reasons. I’ve always liked Batman since
I was growing up and he was the one superhero I watched the most on
television. Batman attracts my interest
so much because I can relate to him I feel more than other superheroes because
batman has no actual super powers and is a normal person fighting crime.
I can remember watching Batman on
the television when I was 8 and my brother was 10. We would play the roles of Batman and Robin,
and of course since my brother Patrick is older than me, he was always Batman
and I was Robin. I always enjoyed
playing their roles around the house, but I can remember a part of me wanting
to be Batman instead of Robin. I viewed
Batman as a really awesome guy with fast cool looking cars, weapons I had never
seen before, and a mansion with secret rooms I wished I could once visit. One year for Christmas I got a Batman play
set with action figures, the Batmobile, and a Batcave; I played with the toys
for so many days and it was my chance to be Batman for a change! I still have the play set to this day, and
when I look at it, it still brings back memories.
Now that I am older and understand
more of the meanings of what some superheroes are trying to get across, I could
see a relation of what an adult might do in his life while reflecting on what
Batman would do in the same situation. I
feel as if Batman is working for the better of the world by fighting crime and
doing the right things, and that can help adults to lead a better life in
helping out their communities and being involved in activities that may prevent
violence, or even by taking the steps in the direction of stopping the violence
of crimes personally. I believe thinking
like Batman is a wonderful thing for numerous reasons. The more you are involved and the more you
help others, the better your community can be and the more you will feel good
about yourself for doing the right thing.
Just because you don’t have super powers to stop the “Villains” in our
world today doesn’t mean you can’t help to fight against those who do wrong. Standing up for what you believe in and taking
action in the littlest ways can make you become a superhero to someone else who
just needs a little assistance.
