We get to see something very special here: the power fantasy shown in books like Batman are unrealistic in reality. Dark Night challenges and conquers this belief by celebrating heroes. We will never be Batman, but he can inspire hope that tomorrow things will get better. For a lot of people, me included, the point wasn't to become Batman. I don't do tights. The point was to remember that somewhere, someone is fighting for the world to be better. We don't have to sit around and wait for anyone. We can do it in our own way. We can make the world better for ourselves. We might even have to rescue ourselves.
