Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Heh, Tom guess what the topic of my first column?

It certainly is a version of that concept, but is also both goes back to the ur-myth of the hero's journey. Boy literally marked (lightning scar/demon mark) for greatness, girl who is smart but not physically skilled so she can be useful without threatening, and well, the friend. Ron is a very English version of the friend, ie batman, while it is usually an darker (but not a dark) version of oneself.

From what I can tell, Naruto is the Japanese Harry Potter, only much more violent. Which makes it way cooler, of course.

I can go with that! Although Harry is celebrated as the Boy Who Lived, whereas poor Naruto is almost universally reviled. And none of the Hogwarts teachers read porn in front of their students.

I ♥ Shikamaru.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

From Theo's link, gayest. Robin. Ever.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Wow. There are a couple of those I would love to turn into LJ icons (BatMona especially).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Frankly, I've seen Batman be gayer than this. And this.

"Batty Night" is a perfect concept, although neither attempt got the execution quite right.

Well, yeah. For example...

That first Wonder Woman painting is truly a thing of beauty.
