The Possibility of Real Superheroes
Becoming Batman
Neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr, has thought of a clever marketing slant for a book, appealing to the kid in each of us. The University of Victoria professor states that Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes and takes us on an assessment of whether a real person could train themselves to kick ass Batman-style. POW! You will no doubt continue to see headlines of Mr. Zehr's book as the idea is so interesting. In fact, I could see a series of books or even a television series that tests the strengths of well known super heroes.
