Batman, need I say more?

Batman is a modern icon for us boys that are still young at heart. Think about it, out of all of the superheroes Batman is the only one who is self made. Granted having what seems to be an unlimited cash flow gives him an upper edge on the normal man. Let's look at this a little.

Where does Batman get his supper powers from?

He earns them, studying martial arts, engineering, and critical thinking. It's amazing that he can come up with most of those gadgets on his own. I know he probably steals most of them from the employees of Wayne enterprises, but he probably does have to modify them so that they resemble a bat, and so that the people who work for him don't figure out that he is Batman. What a thinker Bruce Wayne is, he must read all the time he's not running a multibillion dollar company, fighting crime, or sleeping. Which brings me to my next point, has Batman figured out a way to go through life without sleep? Or does he sleep on the job?

I think the reason being Batman is so appealing to so many people is that it almost seems achievable, except for the cash flow deal. With other superheroes they were blessed* with their powers. I personally think that one day if I tried hard enough, I could become the next super hero. I could wear a costume if it ment that no one would ever by able to reveal my identity. Being one of the other super heros might definitely be appealing, just not as realistic as the man with such suppressed rage and aggression as the man who thrust himself among the ranks of those with gifts that we deem on real in an imaginitive world.

I may be way off, but in my opinion it seems most likely that a person who wanted to become a superhero could follow in Batman's footsteps instead of search the galaxy for a way to alter their DNA in such a way that they would obtain super powers.
