Batman had no real superhero powers and his little
boy toy Robin.
Aquaman could talk to fish.
Batman was an ubermensch, a superior man with superior skills and extreme dedication to justice as he saw it. You don't see that much anymore.You can say that of most superheroes - that they had something special and something happened to them to dedicate their lives to vigilante justice. Batman is the poster boy for privileged kids having a shitload of money fall into their lap and doing something with it. He's also wildly insane as well (can you say mommy & daddy issues - yeesh!). I mean really, his response to having a traumatic event happen to him is to run off to Japan and become a ninja?!?
Aquaman was kind of like Obama (yes, I did it). He was the king of the seas but spent all of his time doing other stuff and the occassional golf game. Never did much king stuff. The name is lame too. Couldn't they do Namor, The Submariner?
Since we're talking about DC Comics what about Green Arrow? All he had was a bunch of trick arrows and pretty good skill. Then it turns out that he was light in the loafers the whole time. I can imagine how WTF felt when he heard that Elton John as gay and all of those love songs were about guys. I'm sure that WTF was devastated. Whatzup, not so much...
