Conversation with Ceiling 001
Topic: Why Batman is the greatest superhero on the superhero circuit.
I had come back from the theaters after watching batman begins. I can safely say that it was ‘the’ best batman flick. The George Clooney one just made me wanna throw bowling balls in the sky and try to get my head under it as it came down…
So anyways, as most humans do for about for about 2-3 seconds everynight, I stare at the ceiling. And occasionally I talk to it. And the topic of coversation was Batman, and why he was the best crime fighter.
Firstly lets dish out who are the other crime fighters. At the top of the list comes superman. Now, superman as most of us know comes from the planet Krypton and because of his biological composition makes him impervious bullets and that sorta thing. And he can fly too. Then there’s Spiderman. This dude takes the cake. He was bit by a radioactive spider and mutated into the web-slinging hero we know today. He cant fly but he can swing like a monkey all over the place. Lets see… whose next???? Hmmm, there’s Green lantern, flash, Wonder woman, captain America, the X-men. Well, u get the gist of them…
Now that we’ve got an idea of the superheros available to us, this is the reason why Batman is the coolest. Are you ready….
Batman is human…
He doesn’t have any superpowers. He’s not a mutant of any kind. He doesn’t have any magical rings to give him power; he’s just plain human. If someone shoots batman in the face, or poisons him, he will die just like the rest of us. Another cool thing about batman is that his alter ego is cool too. Bruce Wayne is a millionaire. Very unlike Superman or Spiderman who are dicks in their alter ego lives. A nerdy reporter and a photographer. (note: Clark Kent is never around when something happens & Peter parker makes his money clickin photographes of himself as spiderman. How exciting is that?)
So, as a concept, I think that Batman/Bruce Wayne are Superheros worth idolizing. In either form they are cool.
Plus which other superhero drives around in an over flamboyant car.
Note: still a one-way conversation with my ceiling. Although I have given a philosophical outlook to a comic book character. Its not a mindless babble after all…

I was nearing the end of the post, and wondering why you still hadnt mentioned Batmobile! Well you did :)
Batmobile is sooo cool.
I like the analysis... isnt it better to have a superhero who is human, than someone you know you'll never be, coz he just got 'lucky' about his powers?
moreover what it signifies is that we can all be superheros.
robin is so gay.
wow...part 1 of conversation with the ceiling....yippee....and an interesting one as well and u r right...we can all be super heroes...
true...
robin is gay.
alice: glad to see you are enjoyin my insanity.
Don't care much for superheros and the like... but after yr analysis im beginning to like batman a lot more.
More celing conversations...
How can u people like batman... Batman's so.... errr... right... human... boring!
how can you not like batman conman? wheres you imagination? wheres ure creativity? just think about the innerworkings of a mind that created the concept called batman? not think of the man. think of the idea behind the man!
andy: Azrael, aka jean paul valley, actually turned out to be a mistake. as he was from the order of st dumas. Azrael got some genetic mutation done to him, and when he did become batmans replacement he went mad with the identity crisis. so all in all... azreal was a bad idea but did spin off some 10 odd issues.
the filthy rich bit holds true though as he probably wouldnt be able to carry the persona of batman without bruce waynes money. so it can be said that money is a handy means to being a superhero.
i love insanity.....and insane people....
weirder u get better i like u....
next conversation is about a movie and a rockband. ure gonna like this one....
Thankfully I saw some of the earlier batman movies before I went to watch Batman Begins - the penguin and joker ones.. and I'd thought they were such a piece of crap! Exactly like the cartoon series.. only made from human actors. But Batman Begins is something else! (Maybe if I watched the earlier batman movies on big screen, i'd change my opinion.. but i doubt it.)
