Keeping It Real in Gotham: "Of all the mega-popular superheroes, it is Batman and his universe that are the most grittily realistic. He is not faster than a speeding bullet. He doesn’t swing around Manhattan with the proportional strength of a spider. Batman cannot fly, shoot laser beams from his eyes, or regrow damaged body tissue. He’s a guy who puts on a mask, blocks out the pain, and takes to the streets of Gotham City every night to beat evil into a bloody pulp. The world Batman inhabits isn’t the same fanciful, brightly colored comic book macrocosm of Superman or Spider-Man, at least it shouldn’t be, despite several attempts to turn it into one."
