My nine-year-old nephew made perfect sense.

He mentioned that, of all the superheros in the world, he most admired Batman.

"Hmmm. Why is that?" I asked him.

"Look..." he said, "What those other guys do isn't heroic. It's no big deal to stop a speeding bullet that you know won't hurt you. But Batman's just, you know, human. He could actually get hurt saving someone"

I like the way my nephew thinks.
