All I Want For Christmas

I wish I were a superhero.

Not the kind with a cape or the fawning Lois Lane figure or any special superpowers; just a humble, homegrown, populist, masked vigilante.

They would call me a man of the people.

I’d skulk at night in dark city alleyways, protecting New York against the greatest foe it’s ever known—and when he came I’d serve justice with extreme prejudice, sledgehammer in hand, pummeling the living shit out of his cheap mid-nineties Japanese import until that motherfucking car alarm stopped blaring at 3:30am.

[cut to Gary Oldman saying I was the hero Gotham deserves]
