I have been coming to this website for about a year now and while i quite enjoy reading all the spoilers and editorials i find that i am baffled by the amount of comments in regards to realistic Superheroes. Now let me start by saying to me Batman is my all time favourite superhero without question. He also could be considered by many to be the most real world superhero this i feel is because technically someone could conceivably become Batman where as someone could not at all become Superman. Now i would like to pose some questions to my fellow comicbook movie enthusiasts .
1. Why should super heroes be realistic? There name has super in it which by definition makes them "A hero especially in childrens books or cartoons possessing extraordinary or magical powers" thats for sure not me . I dont really feel the need to relate to my superheroes when i read a Batman story i dont think man if i was a billionaire and trained all my life that i would want to do that. I think man what an awesome story i am glad i got to spend a couple hours away in this fantastic world instead of in the world where we all live where there is war and famine and greed and generally douchebaggery wherever you look.

2. Why do people want to relate to there superheroes? I do not feel the need to have my superheroes relate to me and my life because quite frankly if my life was in anyway relatable to a superhero i would probably be a doctor or in the army because they along with a few others are what i consider real world superheroes so i just choose to be thankful for what they bring to my life and the advantages i have because of them. So tell me why do you want to have realistic superheroes that you can relate too?
