A Hero on Every Page
I’ve been watching Arrow for many months now. It’s the “thing” my husband and I do on Sunday evenings. We’ve finished the third season now and WOW, talk about tying things in a pretty bow. All this to say: I’ve come to the conclusion that nice girls (and guys) make lousy superheroes. Wait! What? Isn’t …

Superman: the perfect ideal. Flawless. All the men want to be him. All the women know he’s too good to be true. What the man needs is a little cellulite. Okay, maybe that’s more of a woman flaw. But let’s face it, perfect heroes are unrealistic. The average person doesn’t relate to them. This is …

Our world needs superheroes. Instead, we’re plagued with villains. If Wonder Woman were here, she would stop terrorists in their tracks.

The bad guys are holding out. Torture is messy and deplorable. In waltzes Wonder Woman to save the day. You know what she’s going to do- whip out the golden rope and lasso the criminal. This is not “truth serum” you might be able to fight off. This thing has magical powers. Wouldn’t you like …
