I'd made the vampire cry. Great. I felt like a real superhero. Harry Dresden, breaker of monsters' hearts.

About This Quote

This is a quote from the novel "The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller. This quote is a nod to the comic book hero Batman. In the comic book, Batman always defeats his bloody and dangerous foes with his wits and cunning. The idea of Batman being able to defeat villains with his brains instead of his brawn appeals to us because we all strive for powers that we can use to be more successful in life.

We all want to be the hero of our own story, but it’s hard to be the hero when you are alone or when things are stacked against you. The idea of being able to take advantage of the situation instead of wasting energy on fighting back appeals to us because it shows that you can accomplish anything when you put your mind to it.
