We Need A Haiku To Save Us: Batman

Haiku's are sparingly used, and if they are it's usually some form of satire. The elegant simplicity of a haiku lends itself to mockery and bawdiness, which leaches the sincerity out of an ancient respected form of prose. My goal is to bring the Haiku back to legitimate literature circles, and what better what to do that then to focus on something near to me, and a huge part of our zeitgeist: Super Heroes. These titans are at their zenith of influential power right now, with their action grip clenched on the silver screen, and our hearts. Read the first installment here.

Batman is probably one of revered and loved of all the superheros. An orphan boy who uses his incredible wealth to fight the force that took his parents away from him: crime. Donning the suit of a bat to strike fear in the hearts of criminals, is above all badass. Throw in gadgets and kung-fu, and it's no wonder Bruce Wayne as The Batman has captured our imaginations for over 50 years. Here come the haikus folks!
