Those Darn Superheroes

1. No unneeded lights

2. No plastic bags

3. Walk anywhere under 2 miles

4. Recycle

Well, I broke the walking rule again. My mother needed to go to the bank so Hannah and I could cash some checks, then my mom needed to get Hannah and Sarah's photos taken for passports, and Grace wanted to go to the library...you try to convince 4 people to walk downtown in misty crappy weather. Although I was pleased to be in the car when a microburst came through. Also, I shamefully have a plastic bag in my room. A friend gave it to me yesterday (after I blogged) because it was holding a few things. A few things meaning sidewalk chalk, the Alice in Wonderland video game, and a hand held fan that says 'Awesome'.

Anyways....Superheroes. I got to thinking about superheroes, supervillains, their foils, et cetera. They're not very eco-friendly, are they? Well, Captain Planet was, but I'm not counting him. I mean characters like The Flash, Wolverine, Batman, Bizzaro, The Joker, Deadpool. Those guys. I'm going to use Batman as my main example seeing as I really like Batman. Also, just to mention it, Wonder Woman's jet. Sulllfuuuuurrrrr....

I mean, the Joker's always blowing something up (especially Heath Ledger's Joker)(He is my creepy model). Batman's car probably wastes more fuel than a hummer. Catwoman who is a villain in the early Batman comics wears leather. LEATHER. And Harley Quinn...she's with the Joker. Surely she's done her fair share of blowing stuff up when Joker isn't beating her like an abusive husband.

Now don't get me wrong, I love superheroes. I love Batman. I'd love to be in Gotham if even for a day. I wouldn't be a superhero, though. I'd be that one idiot that always stands there screaming as the building material is about to crush me, only to have Batman drag me off and stare at me like I'm a moron....actually, make that Catwoman. Ah Catwoman.....so beautiful.

Anyways. I love superheroes. I love supervillains more. I love Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy...stopping there....and in their defense they did promote some pretty good things in their prime. Prime, in this case, means the age when everyone read Superman comics and had Bizzaro underwear. However, back then it meant "Remember kids: Throw your trash away! Robin does it and so can you!".

It would be great to see the superheroes being more environmentally conscious. Batman's car could run off solar or the pure power of his manliness. Joker can set fire to the homes of millions of innocent people using all-natural bug sprays as a repellent. Or hand sanitizer. Penguin has tons of money, he can buy all sorts of eco-friendly traps and explosives. Poison Ivy is excluded here; she grows and manipulates plants plants and has green skin. You cannot possibly get greener than that. So is Killer Croc, for he is a crocodile. So is Manbat, for he is a man-bat and does not use human anything.

So in conclusion, the super everyones need to get their acts together and get with the times. If the supers do it, then maybe children will be more influenced to do so. I know I would be. Especially if it was Catwoman telling me to....ah Catwoman. If she robbed me I wouldn't complain.

Actually I would. Just not for too long, because it's Catwoman.
