So, since my last blog I have decided to talk about one of my favorite superheros. I want to say that I think it is incredible that these heros accomplish what they accomplish despite their mental disorders. So, without further ado I give you . . . Batman!
Now, batman is quite the character. He had a tough childhood and witnessed his parents' deaths leaving him an orphan; which must have left him with some mental scars. Some blame Bruce Wayne's future actions on these mental scars, but as I will show you Bruce Wayne's actions are better accounted for, not by his hatred of crime, but rather by a brain chemical imbalance causing a servere case of Bipolar disorder.
Bruce Wayne, or Batman as we will call him, runs the family business during the day and at night he runs around looking for trouble. He tries to find the thugs with guns or the villain with some super crazy weapon. Batman claims that he does this to end crime, when in fact he is doing this for the adrenaline rush, which is considered a risky or dangerous behavior (in the medical community we call this risky psychomotor aggitation), very common among people with bipolar disorder. Very well you might say, not everyone who participates in risky behavior has bipolar . . . true, but let me continue. The fact that he stays up all night and has a decreased need for sleep is a dead giveaway that Batman is bipolar. There is a mountain of evidence that Batman is bipolar; for example, he sleeps with who knows how many women, every batman movie I've seen he is with a different woman- this is called sexual indiscretion. He tends to spend excessively large sums on strange but goal oriented projects such as the Batmobile, the Batplane, the Bat-helicopter, shark repellent (yes folks, he really did use Batman brand shark repellent in the old school movie). And he definitely has in increased self-esteem. These are the classic signs of bipolar disorder. He is clearly not stable mentally. It would be for the good of society to lock Batman up . . . or at least after he has made a couple more movies . . . that last one was pretty good.

Biopolar Bat. very clever I must admit, but his episodes of depression arn't very depressive, sounds like he is just crazy!
Honestly, You have just too much time to think about these things. But it is very fun to read.
And somehow it looks as though i missed your birthday... Happy Be-lated Birthday!! Silly.
Jared, jared, jared,(I'm shaking my head as I say that, if you couldn't tell) What will we ever do with you.
From the looks of things someone has more time than they know what to do with. Heaven forbid they ever return phone calls. J/K So this is what you learn in medical school, how to analyze superheros. I am surprised you haven't analyzed the Pooh characters yet. They have loads of problems. Starting with Piglet and Rabbit. Oh well that is for another time.
