Superheros - Which One Would You Like To Be?

    If you were to play the role of a Superhero in a movie - which one would you like to be?

    For me, it would have to be Batman as I would get to dress up in one of those amazing black rubber form fitting Bat Suits, live in a great big old house, and drive really fast cars. With my shapely rubber clad Bat Girl at my side, we would set off each night and sort out all those baddies. I may even get to seduce a leather clad Cat Woman in the course of my night's work!

    So what is your Superhero fantasy?

    Jimmy McNulty.

    What's his super power?
    Being one the most cliched and banal of characters in an otherwise well thought out show (he's a cop, let's make him Irish...and an alcoholic....and with a poor relationship with his family due to overwork)?
    Or perhaps having the worst Baltimore accent in the history of the world?

    I think that's a bit harsh.

    And, furthermore, Dominic West can't act for toffee....especially bad at acting drunk even though his character was drunk about 50% of the time

    I can agree with that to an extent. I still completely disagree on the McNulty character though, I thought he was great.

    If you think about would anyone want to be Superman or Batman. There are huge negatives to their lifestyles.

    Superman's disguise is Clark Kent and for the majority of his life he wears this mask. A feeble stuttering coward who also appears quite dim. He will forever hide who he is and only really connects with his parents who will eventually die and Lois Lane who is magnetic to danger. So to be Superman you must hide who you are forever.

    As for Batman, his life is one of isolation. Bruce reluctantly plays the part of the playboy once in a while to keep up an image but is much happier brooding in a cave. He allows no to get close to him and those that do usually perish. He is bitter and lonely following his parents death and in a sense never recovered from that and never matured. Batmans life is lonesome and thankless, also due to his lack of superpower get regularily the snot knocked out of him.

    The novelty of Batmans cool car or being physical invincible would soon dimish into a life of emptiness and repetition.

    Thanks why the correct answer is most likely Iron Man. Tony is a free spirit, enjoys life, embraces his alter ego, publicies his alter ego and his extremely witty and intelligent.

    Well, to be fair, cop characters are generally a mix and match of cliches

    Johnny Storm. He can fly, and play with fire. Throw in Chris Evans' physique and what more could you want?

    The main disadvantage would be burning all your clothes every time you want to fly. I would imagine that would be a bit of an inconvenience.

    Piss of course so you can blast 'em with it.

    I always float/fly in my dreams. I think my subconscious is trying to tell me that I have power to fly and I just need to harness it when I am awake.

    Conclusion: Superman. Because we have something in common.
