Over the Hedge

Does Batman even have a Bat-sub.   I should know these things, but I’m not that big a comic book super hero fan.

<GASP!>

I know.  It’s sacrilidge.  But, they’re just, you know, pretty silly.   I love science fiction.  I”ll suspend disbelief to read about a stranger in a strange land.   But men in tights that can slow the rotation of the earth seems a stretch.   I love graphic novels.  Maus.  Anything by Neil Gaimon.   But vigilante mutant (physical or mental) freaks leave me wanting.   Maybe it’s that in the real world if someone had superpowers, we would all become terrified and figure out a way to destroy that person as quickly as we could.  It wouldn’t matter if they were good or evil.  Power seeks it’s own level.   And extraordinary power corrupts extraordinarily.

Except for Wonder Woman.

What?
