Hehe…j/k. I do like the abundance of superhero references though. But let’s not distract you from posting pictures of your blonde experience. We haven’t forgotten.

I should’ve known not to be flippant in my references to Batman, You’re right- he’s more complicated than all that. At least he has Alfred, though. And later he gets Robin, although Robin may be more trouble than he’s worth.
Thanks for your thoughtful words, though. Yeah, the citizens of Gotham often don’t even know they’ve been in danger, let alone that a masked man has risked everything so that they can continue to attend glamourous circuses and stuff. Wait, I guess they see the bat signal. Hmm. Maybe they’re more in the know than I allow. But those Metropolis dudes? They have no idea. And Spiderman’s New York… well. You get the picture. A hero’s life is a lonely one. No doubt about that.
I can’t wait for the 3rd X Men movie to come out. I literally can. not. wait.

Denver boys and their comics/video games analogies. :-)

If not, I think it’s high time you picked up The Hero With A Thousand Faces!

But I don’t think that Bruce Wayne is a jerk because of all of that stress and loneliness. He’s a jerk so that people won’t get close to him and so that he can avoid all of that drama.
As far as relationships go though, I think you got it right by making this comparison. There is a lot of selfless stuff that goes on in a good relationship that others will never realize…sometimes, that’ll even include your partner. But in the end, those selfless acts are what make the world a better place.
I hope that makes sense. It’s 1:30 in the morning here.
