If you could do some power stuff......would you fight crime? This was one of those late night editing conversations Chris and I had. His answer was a pretty good one, how do you go and "fight crime?" and "...no". Would you feel a responsibility to move to Sudan and help people if you had some super human ability?
On a related note: I love batman but he needs to stop getting credit for "not having super powers." Being a super billionaire is a super power. He has Super human abilities that 99% of the world can't have because he has the money to make whatever he wants. If spiderman is in a jam he has a couple options: jump or shoot some web. Batman can do almost anything and you'll accept it because he is super rich. We need to put an end to this madness. Alright back to work.

My super hero name would be Red October
To be able to move objects with my mind, crush a skull, explode a tank from within.
Yep that's what I'd want.
And no--fuck other countries.
We have enough shit going on here to keep a slew of super-heros busy for a long time.
Besides, you really should have your own house in order before you go around trying to tell others how to live!
Mostly devise situations where I do something awesome and then flirt with hot guys at the bar afterward.
Never have to drive...
Does this then mean that the world becomes a better place? Or does this then mean that other problems, like manipulative abusive people, move to filled the void where physical violence once was? Would there in the end be a net gain? Or is it some kind of conservation of shit that would mean that horrible things will always happen and the hero with the powers can just change the venue of that shit?
Done pondering.

But I also agree with Monty's counterpoint that Batman is always aided most by his humanity and adaptability.
There was an animated movie about two years ago: Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. I suggest you watch it for an insight into what one of the biggest villains in the DC thinks of Batman in relationship to the rest of the DC Heroes.
When you have time...
The money is not what Batman uses to fight crime. He uses his intellect (world's greatest detective) and martial arts he's been trained in. The money merely funded his suit and gadgets (gadgets that were made not for him originally, but for military uses). So, he does not have super powers in the vain of the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, and other super naturally or incredibly powered heroes or gods of various pantheons.
Same goes for Tony Stark/Iron Man, he just uses his gadgets more often/all the time.
And yes, being rich is a super power.
