Five Life Lessons Learned from Batman

Everyone has a role model in their early childhood years. Some look up to presidents, others to movie stars. Mine at the age of five, was Batman. He was my hero. Once, while having surgery as a child, I was overheard yelling" Batman, Batman. It's Robin. They're torturing me. Save me!" I thought Batman could do anything! We all receive life tips and adivce from different sources. Some of us even look to our heros. But if Batman taught us lessons for life, what were they? Listed are what I consider to be five of the things we might have learned from Batman, without even knowing we were!

rst of all, Batman was always prepared for whatever might happen. Whether the Joker had him dangling by a rope with sharks waiting to eat him, or The Riddler had him under a saw, preparing to cut him in two, Batman was always ready for the situation. After all, he had instant shark repellent in his belt, and he was equipped with rust solution for the saw. So lesson number one is to always be prepared .

Lesson number two was, always be kind to peoplebecause you might need them later in life. Batman had a knack for feeling sorry for the underdog. We could never figure out if he liked or hated Cat Woman. His kindness to her, got him and Robin out of more than one sticky situation. I'm sure all of us Batman fans remember his predicament when he was tied to the bed, and Cat Woman let him go, because she too was confused about how she felt about the masked wonder.

We can't forget that, Batman knew that appearance mattered. Now we look back on that dorky 60's outfit and think what were they thinking. But for the time, it was considered rather chic. What seriousness would he have received if he was a mess, or his cape wasn't on straight. As a child, I thought he looked so cool and pulled together. We all know a proper appearance carries you a long way in life.

Fourthly, Batman was loyal and devoted. If you remember, his Mother and Father were killed by the Joker. His whole mission was geared towards remembering his parents, and avenging their deaths by fighting evil. He felt like he was being loyal to his parents by putting a purpose to their early demise.
