The Dark Knight in You

It takes a brave, brave man to dress up like a flying rodent, wouldn't you agree? Perhaps that's why since childhood I have been captivated with the super hero who really doesn't fit the definition of "super" or "hero."

He doesn't have any gamma ray induced abilities, no spider bite steroid effects, and he can't leap over tall buildings in a single bound while simultaneously telling children to obey their parents.

In fact, his parents were murdered right before his eyes, and the person he grows up to be is a study in conflicted personalities. He doesn't spout family values and conservative ideals like the man of steel, but Batman does have the heart of a lion.

He's a man with an edge and a deep internal conflict. Batman's weakness isn't Kryptonite… it's himself. He is painfully aware of his own vices, which might be the fuel for his passion for saving Gotham City.

The Batman comics of my childhood is a far cry of what Batman is today. Just shows what direction our society is going.

When God created us in his own image he created us to do magnificent accomplishments and to overcome extraordinarily. Our inate desire to do so is what prompts this superhero admiration. Though our society changes and is darker, we still need to see good prevail. I'm no fan of the entertainment industry as a whole, however ther are some producers out there promoting good. Know your facts, there are Christions and Jews of faith supporting God's agenda even when masking it in high kitsch. Shalom.

People like celebrities but then they find fault with them = iconoclastic arrogance
•People tend to put them on a pedestal
•The make that person an icon or role model
•When the icon does not live up to unrealistic standards then the adoring fans change
•That’s when the feet of clay pop out as they all seem to do and people gets disappointed
•When disappointed, then disenchanted, anger, bitterness, etc. at their one time hero.
•They proceed to tear down the icon – assassinate
•It makes them feel good to bring someone famous down to their own level = pure arrogance
•Someone else’s misery becomes their entertainment and amusement

It's unfortunate that Christian Balie will not continue the series. There are so any villains more to complete the collection.

Hollywood Idols, American Idols, I'm sick of it. I think God is ready to spew many out of His mouth. And I'm not the cleanest when it come to TV/Movies. But with the grace God has given to forgive me much I am more determined that ever to repent thoroughly before Him.

No more eyedolls or eyedollatry for me.

Ahhh, the forgotten hero's of yesteryear. I'm 63, and when I was a kid, Batman was just a comic book character. Television was pretty new, and as far as I can remember only Superman, a guy named Commando Cody, and there was an outer space type program whose name escapes me. We did of course recognise these folks as fictitious characters. Today it appears that some folks look at them as being real, in a sense, anyway. We did have people and TV shows that displayed good moral character however. They weren't super hero's, they were just regular Joe's with integrity, honesty and right on their side. Sky King and his niece Penny come to mind, also Captain Midnight, an ex WWII fighter pilot. Westerners like Roy and Dale, Gene Autry, The Lone Ranger and Hop-along Cassidy. Just good male and female roll models. They went to church, they helped the needy and there was a good moral to each program. I don't need super hero's. There is only one Super Hero in My Life, and that's Jesus Christ. There is "no higher power"!
