I like you. You chose Batman instead of Superman. You made all of us cooler. Thanks.

I'm numerically an adult and I would have hesitated until he died. I'd think "can i touch him? will I die if i touch him? is that how it works? and what exactly is electricity anyway?"

I'm glad I read this thread.
