You must all tast the cinematic ambrosia that is Spider-Man 2. It was the perfect Ending to day of hard work. When I woke up, I was immediately drafted into dismantling my parents room.

One should also take into account that the batman of something like The Dark Knight Returns is a different beast from the more classic one. As such it's a bit unfair to make comparisons. Anyway, I sort of like it that he doesn't have powers; as one friend of mine remarked, "at first you ask yourself: why is some weakling like batman allowed to even associate with folks like superman and the green lantern? Then, you look at what batman actually does, and the question reverses itself: why are they even allowed to associate with him?" Because batsy uses what we in the business like to refer to as 'his noggin.' He actually manages to achieve through intelligence and fanatical devotion what others can only seem to achieve through superhuman prowess. Anyway, when was the last time your parents were murdered in front of you? It's true that in the real world, becoming a superhero in response to such an event is an unlikely occurence, but certainly no more so than being bitten by a radioactive spider, or descending in a space-pod from the planet Crypton (Krypton?), or any other sort of superhero origin. I think you seriously undersell how shattering such an event would be to a person's psyche, particularly a kid of that age. People have been driven to suicide and madness over alot less.
