It Pairs So Nicely With "Goddamn"

Okay, so, there are a whole lot of aspects of his character, and of his overall story, that appeal to a vast number of people in this day and age. Something about him strikes a chord within us, resonates with our ideals and fears and wishes.

But I can't help wondering if any of Batman's long-lasting popularity is due to his name being so incredibly fun to say.

Just try saying "I'm Superman." Doesn't have nearly the same ring, does it?

I also like that he dismisses his own archetype at one point: "I'm a rich kid with issues." Yes, but you handle them SO entertainingly.
