#18: Favourite movie hero?

Dude, this is hard. I like the new Batman (Christian Bale) because he is a psychopath and there's not very much that separates him from the villains in the films. I mean, Superman and Spiderman are basically goody-goodies who have powers—Batman is a guy with serious mental issues who uses his wealth to build gear that allows him to track and kill people. There's something cool about that.

At the same time, I quite enjoy the softies like Scott Pilgrim and Griff the Invisible, who you might argue are not really heroes at all but protagonists who stumble their way through their respective films.

Then there's Wolverine, who is a violent misanthrope, an anti-hero, and yet like Batman happens to be working on the 'right' side. Heroes are so complicated nowadays.
