Every wonder why Batman doesn't have an enduring love interest? Spider-man has Mary Jane, Superman has Lois, Green Lantern had Carol, and on and on.
Reuben has been growing in his seemingly insatiable hunger for super-heroes, and we recently picked up a bag of them at Value Village. Among them were a couple of Batmans (Batmen?) and a large-sized Wolverine. It didn't take long for one of the Batmans (resplendent in a yellow and black costume) to notice this large and very manly man. Perhaps it was the similar ears. Perhaps it was the colours. Perhaps it was sympathy for Wolverine and the claws missing on his left hand. Perhaps it was just one of those beautiful mysteries.
Regardless, by this afternoon, not 24 hours after receiving these action figures, Reuben had these two walking hand in hand, was asking Sarah "Mommy, do you think that Batman would cry if he loved somebody?" And by bedtime, Wolverine and Batman were tucked in nicely together.
