Up there.. its a bird.. its a plane.. its... just some superhero showin off..

I was watchin 'Batman Begins' again today... I just love that movie... a movie that finally shows a superhero from a realistic point-of-view... but there's just one phenomenon that still goes unexplained... I realized this after Batman's first victory (which occurs when he defeats Carmine Falconi): after his first victory, the movie then goes on to show the superhero standing on the peak of some tall building, usually gazing down upon the city... I saw this in Batman Begins, n it even occurs in Spiderman (after Spiderman's first victory, when he kills his uncle's killer)

basically wuts the idea behind it? does the director try to show the superhero's now assumed responsibility for the entire city from WAYYYY up there?? alotta good that's gonna do if he cant even see/hear a crime from that far up ahead... just imagine someone gettin mugged down below, lookin up at batman on that tower n screamin 'Get ur butt down here, dumba**!!!

or maybe, deep down inside, that's where the hero always runs off to in order to avoid the cops.. i mean hey, its the highest peak up, no stupid cop's gonna come up there, rite??..

LOL, while we're on the subject of Batman Begins, check this out... in the scene where Batman grabs Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes) n drives off half-way across Gotham on a wild goose chase, this conversation takes place:

Batman: Stay calm...

Rachel: (Wakes up from her slumber, but has a peaceful look bout her, besides the fact that a giant bat is right next to her.. i mean, she must have read the comics :P... but neways, she's calm, cuz.. well.. Batman told her to be calm...)

Batman: You've been poisoned.

Rachel: HOLY CRAP!!!! WUTTHEF**K YOU TALKIN BOUT??? (actually she just gives off a huge gasp... but my point is... y bother tellin her to stay calm n then tellin her she's been poisoned?? its not like she's thinkin ohh wait i'm with Batman, its alright if i get poisoned..)

Conclusion: Batman's gotta put some serious work into his people skills...

another thing bout superheroes.... im sure most of the people readin this wud have seen atleast ONE episode of Smallville... now i gotta say sumthin here... its a very inspiring series yes, I often find my optimism rejuvenated after an awesome episode every now n then... BUT:

ever notice that even through all those frikkin episodes where some guy/gal or the other always mutates as a result of all the kryptonite residue lyin around... doesnt anyone EVER think of evacuating the city in order to clean it up? i mean, do they KNOW or EXPECT that somehow sumthin or someone will save them from wutever happens... like they know superman exists...

n this observation about Smallville from a brother of mine, who requested anonymity (well, he didnt really request it, but im damn well givin it to him...) : What about when Clark Kent actually becomes Superman? he's already walkin around with no glasses.. so when he finally becomes Superman, how's he gonna hide his identity??? a mask, perhaps??????

ending on a happy thought: Katie Holmes looks SERIOUSLY appealing in a silk top without a bra... go figure... then again, so does Jennifer Aniston... n Angelina Jolie... n Holly Valance.. and... this cud go on a while... u get the idea...
