Well unfortunately due to current circumstances my family and I can't put up a tree. Though I always think it's weird that the media just skips over Thanksgiving and goes right to Christmas. Lol it's middle of November and stores are already putting up Christmas decorations, and playing Christmas music. Like damn at least wait until Black Friday!! 🤣

Well currently my favorite new novel isn't superhero or anime themed it's "urban themed" it's called "The Double Cross" by Anna J. It's about a man juggling a love triangle between two twin sisters!! Extremely interesting it was. My Father borrowed it and he was outdone himself! You're literally sucked into the story on the first paragraph! It's an interesting read, you should look it up too. But wait, you say in your bio that romance isn't your thing. So perhaps not, but the romance is overshadowed by the drama and suspense of wait for the love triangle to implode so perhaps I'm wrong, maybe you will enjoy it. There was also a really good Western themed novel I finished called "Shadow of a Dead Man" written by William W Johnstone & J.A. Johnstone. I've always loved westerns, I grew up watching them with my Grandfather as it's his favorite genre, y,' know come to think of it a western theme Manga/anime series might be a good idea! I wonder if one exists. 

Now regarding Batman, once again you're absolutely right. Hell, my best friend (who is a huge Spider-Man fan) has sort of a love-hate dynamic with Batman's characterization. He once said: "Batman is the only superhero that doesn't have superpowers,yet STILL manages to be OP". NGL he makes a very valid point. As so do you, in the wrong hands he is OP.

 One such instance was in the cartoon Batman: The Brave and The Bold, where Batman gets buried alive and has to ask for help via possessing the living with Astral Protection. And he explains it by saying it's an "Ancient Mediation Technique" I was like... Really -_-? Batman is The Deadman now? C'mon writers. In another story he escaped the same situation by making brass knuckles and punching out of the coffin. THAT'S more in character for Batman, now suddenly having Astral Protection which is technically a superpower, meaning it invalidates his lore of not having powers. 

Nevertheless, as a fellow Batman fan surely you can agree that's he's always fun to see in action. He literally stands side by side with his friends and teammates who are basically god's and is considered just as formidable as them. Hell, sometimes even more so. And they often turn to HIM when they need support for certain situations. Batman is just a human, yet he's one of the few heroes other than Superman that Darkseid recognizes as a worthy opponent. That in itself speaks much about his imposing status despite being "powerless". As his archenemy Joker stated "There's nothing MERE about THAT moral!" Regardless of how he's written, a highly skilled detective?martial artist fighting alongside his superpowered friends and actually being a heavy hitter will never be boring. 

Veering off topic for a second I would have liked to see a Quirkless Pro-Hero in My Hero Academia, I believe the closest to this was Knuckleduster. I would have loved to see Izuku get inspired by a top hero that everyone thinks has a superpowerful Quirk but is actually just a highly skilled fighter. That's how I would have written it, a Quirkless Pro-Hero inspiring Izuku to never give up because you don't need a power to be a hero, as Batman's character proves. 

There's another powerless hero I enjoy reading and seeing "Punisher" you like him? I think he's the most "realistic" hero in all of comics. He's not a metahuman, just an immensely skilled combat veteran in excellent physical condition. Men like that do exist in the real world lol, if course they wouldn't survive as long as Punishner has. I dunno there's just always something interesting about non-powered superheroes. 

Speak of which, Batman has the most interesting rogue gallery! You've already mentioned another shared favorite of ours "Deadshot " he's very well-written and just like Harley he's slowly moving into a more anti-hero/anti-villain role. Deathstroke would have to be my second favorite DC villain after Black Adam both of them also anti-villains/anti-heroes depending on how they're written. I also like Two-Face and Killer Croc, the latter of which I believe is the most tragicv illain in DC.

I feel like there's a wave of bots increasing both the love and hate rankings about characters in top 10. Not just for Levi, but also Light, L and Naruto too. Anime-planet management should do something about this now

Hey! Thanks for replying! I just came across the character page about Kou from Ao Haru Ride and saw your comment. Then I just read your whole bio and shed tears that someone like you exist🤣

I felt like you are me from some parallel universe after reading your profile! You feel awesome! 

Meh I had a pretty chill Halloween, lol it's not a Halloween I get super excited for, I'm more a Christmas man.

I'm slowly but surely building my book collection back ^^ I buy new books so often they're already crowding my room lol.

Regarding Batman.... You make a good point. As a matter-of-fact you hit the nail on the head. As a big Batman fan, I'd be lying and biased if I didn't admit that he does get his fair share of donning the "armor of the plot" lol. Especially when he's in battle against literal godlike beings such as Darkseid (one of my favorite villains btw)
