I've been riding around town at night. Late night marauder. There are certain qualities that become apparent in the night - Alone at night when it's all true, speeding downhill on my bicycle, neck-breaking speed... Where is it, what is it that is found in the night? Aside from the super cool gadgets that only Bruce Wayne can buy, what is it that attracts us to this cowled crusader? I'm all for conquering your fear, but I just can't seem to put my finger on the reason we all appreciate Bruce so much. And okay, maybe YOU don't like him. Perhaps you hate him. It doesn't really matter because at some point in your life you wanted to be like the Batman (I've known a few Selina Kyles in my day) Don't deny it, we all have. His stealthy abilities, his perceptive nature on the human mind - Yet, he doesn't even have any super powers. He's just a man, but also more than man - You can definitely count on his raging will power in the face of his parents' death. So, what is it that gets the heart pumping with excitement when we see the Bat-signal, or the moon, the stars in the sky?

  1. Being a creature of the night myself, I completely relate to this! (This is Tony from the cafe, BTW) I hope you don't mind that I joined your site. If you are interested in mine, it is also an e-blogger site called, Andante Contemplativo. Lot's of poetry, music, and random stuff. Cheers for now and keep on writing.
