A couple of weeks ago on my facebook I declared today Batman day. This announcement is because today two great Batman items hit the stores. Batman: Year One gets the animated feature treatment. This is a Frank Miller comic book, an d one of his good ones. It looks at the growing pains of Bruce becoming the Bat-man and the tough time Jim Gordon has in adapting to life on the Gotham PD as opposed to the Chicago force.
The other item is the Batman: Arkham City game, of which I will be picking up the collectors edition. I have had Batman: Arkham Asylum since it came out and played it to death and would still happily do so, so my expectations for this new game is high and given that you can play as Batman, Robin, Nightwing and even Catwoman! I'm pumped to get my hands on my copy tonight and begin playing.
I have however made the decision to take time to go to the gym this afternoon in spite of the overwhelming desire to just go home and play.
I've mentioned earlier on here that the drive and dedication of Batman (among other people) are part of what kept my mission for fitness going, so it wouldn't really be right to skip the gym to sit and play a game, even if I have been waiting on pins and needles for almost a year for the game.
With that in mind, since I declared the day in the first place, I proclaim that part of Batman day is doing something that exhibits your drive and dedication to do something amazing. Go forth and celebrate!
Today my drive had me on a mission to complete my Christmas shopping. I left the house at 7:45am and returned at 8pm. I almost achieved my goal. Love, Your Wife.
