Your Biggest Fan

I’ve claimed before that I’m Batman’s biggest fan. How­ever, I think this guy might be. That’s a LOT of ded­i­ca­tion to get a movie made the way you wanted.

And, of course, the rea­son I love Bat­man over all other super­heroes is that he’s the liv­ing embod­i­ment of the Neal Stephen­son quote,

Until a man is twenty-​five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right cir­cum­stances he could be the bad­dest moth­er­fucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-​arts monastery in China and stud­ied real hard for ten years. If my fam­ily was wiped out by Colom­bian drug deal­ers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal dis­ease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wip­ing out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.”

And he made us believe that any­one could do what he did. Per­haps not as well as he did, since we don’t all have trust funds and pri­vate jets to get the best train­ing in every­thing around the world, but that it was within the realm of possibility.

But then Kick Ass came along and made real the dan­gers behind what most of us knew to be flights of fancy — we don’t all have for­mer Army medic but­lers, let alone super heal­ing mutant abilities.

But still… if Bruce Wayne started around 25, he should be in his 30s now. I’m behind the curve, but if I trained even harder, I could still catch up!

This seems like a good place to start -
