You, Too, Could Be Batman In 10 To 12 Years

"You could train somebody to be a tremendous athlete and to have a significant martial arts background, and also to use some of the gear that he has, which requires a lot of physical prowess... In terms of the physical skills to be able to defend himself against all these opponents all the time, I would benchmark that at 10 to 12 years." The problem is, even after that amount of training, no one could remain on top of their game for more than a few years. And "Batman can't really afford to lose.

So I'm trying to gravitate towards the lighter side of things. Work is producing more and more backlogs, thanks to the concept of fate and a little of procrastination.
I need a good, hearty laugh. Nothing seems to be funny as of late and I don't know about you, but I liked Will Ferrell's stuff so much more in the past.
