Is this post your most heroic moment??:rolleyes:

From a couple of months back...

A taxi driver in New York drove 80km to track down a woman that left $21,000, some jewellery and a couple of passports in the back of his taxi. When the woman offered him some of the money as a reward he declined. Borderline heroic if you ask me...

As a child, I seen my parents killed by a young criminal. I vowed to avenge their deaths in a lifelong battle against crime as the Batman to conceal my true identity.

Gotham City is under the control of crime boss Carl Grissom. Despite the best efforts of newly-elected district attorney Harvey Dent and police commissioner James Gordon, the Police department remains corrupted. Reporter Alexander Knox and photo-journalist Vicki Vale begin investigating the rumors of a shadowy vigilante figure dressed as a bat who has been terrifying criminals throughout the city.

Vicki and Knox attend a benefit at my Manor, where i'm taken by Vicki's charms. Knox, however, appears somewhat jealous of (as well as a little intrigued by) the chemistry between me and Vicki. That same night, Grissom's second in command, Jack Napier , is sent to raid Axis Chemicals factory. After the police receive a tip-off and arrive to arrest him, Jack realizes I's been set-up by his boss, angered by his affair with Grissom's mistress. In the midst of the shoot-out, I arrive and take out Jack's henchmen.

In a bizarre accident caused by his own ricocheting bullet, deflected by my metal-reinforced gauntlet, Jack's face is ripped open. Reeling from the pain, he toppled over a platform rail but manages to grab a lower rail with one hand. I momentarily clutched Jack's free hand, but the grip is soon broken, and he falls into a large vat containing an unknown chemical solution. Shortly thereafter, he emerges from an adjacent reservoir, his hair and skin discolored. Following a surgical attempt to repair his face, Jack is left with a permanent and twisted grin, giving him the appearance of a grotesque clown. Driven mad, he fashions himself as "the joker".
After killing Grissom, the Joker takes over my empire and holds the city at his mercy by chemically altering everyday hygiene products, causing those using a certain combination of products to laugh to death. I attempted to track down the Joker, who has become romantically interested in Vicki. It is revealed to me that the Joker, as a young criminal, was the very man who killed my parents. I destroyed the factory the Joker used to make the poisoned products. The Joker holds a parade through Gotham, luring its citizens on to its streets by dispensing money, intending to kill them with lethal gas. I foiled his plan, but the Joker kidnaps Vicki and takes her to the top of a cathedral church. After a fight with me, the Joker falls to his death from the bell tower. Commissioner Gordon unveils the Bat signal along with a note from me read by Harvey Dent, promising to defend Gotham whenever crime strikes again.

I felt pretty heroic after that.
