I dream I am Robin, I am the only ray of color in Gotham’s dark nights, I skip , I jump , I punch and prance, like a graceful hippo’s dance. I would jump off a rooftop, Good God this is painful to write , I think I’ll stop.                                             -Robin ( Dick Grayson )

I dream I am Captain America, I would represent grand ideals beyond personal grief, I would be looked up to and I would be loved, I would fight to survive , not survive to fight, I would silence desperate screams, I wouldn’t need to dream.                                                          -Batman ( Bruce Wayne )
