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?

The m-b combination when you do one of the fuller versions ("I'm Batman." or "I'm the Goddam Batman.") rolls off the tongue really nicely, too.

Going from the m to the c or r in those others doesn't flow quite as well for me.
