Superheroes
Posted by R. Weiss on October 7, 2007
This morning Superman and Batwoman got on the BART at my stop. Superman had a buzz cut and pock marks on his cheeks. Batwoman was carrying a purple Vitamin Water and a paper bag that was no doubt concealing a liquor bottle. A purple Crown Royale pouch hung from her plastic Bat-belt.
I wondered where they were going at 10 AM on a Saturday morning. Their casual demeanor, scruffy appearances, and alcoholic accessories, made me think it is probably time for some new superheroes. They didn’t appear to be in any hurry to fight crime.
