WAW separation begins

[GoatGal]

OK, rayzzz, here we go.

The Disclaimer:
"This in no way substitutes for the sage advice of veteran DBers who have been in and out of the trenches. It is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care... yadda, yadda, yadda, stuff that lawyers care about and we don't...."


Now I'm cool, but sorry. No beer!
(Except the virtual kind. I prefer a nice German Pils myself, but hey! Each to his/her own. And a case? Forgettaboutit!!!)

Here goes:

YOU. Are BATMAN.

SHE: Is Poison Ivy.
(Or Catwoman, take your pick. Uma or Halle, they're both good for our purposes)

Batman:
Has a secret cave, lots of cool gadgets, tricks up his sleeve, and he has... what's his name? Arthur? The helpful butler.
(That's us here at DBing!)

Batman's car can turn into whatever he wants---it can fly, it can go underwater.
That's your super-power. You are able to ADAPT to the situation!
And when Batman gets injured or needs to regroup, what does he do?
He retires to Wayne Manor and takes refuge in the Bat Cave.

Is he ashamed of retiring in order to rest and formulate his next plan of attack?
Hell NO! He is savvy, cool, collected, always in control.

Now for our friend Poison Ivy.

She has an agenda.
Some would say "evil", others might just say "self-serving".
(Hey, I try not to judge.)

Point is: She's HOT! She's determined! She's a little, well, "out there".

She's also like a bad skin rash if you touch her... or if she breathes too hard in your direction.

(See where I'm going with this?)

You need to give her a wide berth until you understand her evil plot.
The catch here is: You might NEVER understand her motivations!

No matter what Poison Ivy does, Batman has to remain strong because he has the entire city of Metropolis to look after! It's all on his shoulders!

He can't let one babe in a crazy green costume throw him for a loop no matter how good looking and scintillating she might be!

Batman is working from a much bigger platform; one that involves the welfare of others, (as well as his own), his values, his entire reason for being.

Poison Ivy is going to do what she will do.
But learning from his Ninja training in the Far East, (they left this out of the movie so I'm adding it here), Batman learns to DEFLECT.

To KILL with KINDNESS.
To take the high road.
To resist---passively--rather than actively.

He acts when he HAS to act to protect the greater good.
He does not act out of fear, or anger, revenge , or jealously.

Eventually his tactics will weary an opponent over time, rather than in one short battle.

Batman understands that the less ammunition he gives to his opponent, the better. So he bends like the willow, instead of breaking like the mighty oak.

Time is your friend.

Pick your battles.
Bend like the willow while holding your roots fast.

Everyone who knows trees knows you can never kill a Willow.
They just come back from their roots once you cut them to the ground.


How helpful this might be for you is anybody's guess.

Entertainment value?

I hope that's higher.

And----I'm done.

Keep fighting the good fight, rayzzz.


Meanwhile, always remember that Batman's abs were plastic, but they still got chicks to swoon...
