I saw Harinder on my way into work this morning, so we chatted for a bit. He said that he had seen a batman bumper sticker on a chevy, and it made him think about batman versus superman. The end-point of his reverie: Batman is a "normal" human who uses technology, while Superman just has super powers. I pointed out that Batman's ninja skills are certainly exceptional, and can be considered barely human, and also that Superman's fortress of solitude was made using alien technology and not super powers (at least as the latest movie would have it). Harinder just shook his head, and said that even so, the general trend holds.
The moral of the story: Old geeks never get less geeky.

my daughter said much the same thing as H. is that why she said she liked batman so much...a man who uses the resources at hand to solve his and the world's problems. He is kind of over the top with his physical prowess....maybe that molded chest plate is a muscle enhancer?
I'm Batman!
there was a thing on the science of spiderman on the history channel the other day. i was entranced. i can't decide if i want to be one of the doctors who talks about superheroes on tv, or if i just want to be a superhero...
I want to be a superhero.
Or rather, a time lord. Because travelling through space + time in a 1960s police box and having unlikely adventures would be SO MUCH FUN!
