Why We All Are Batman Inside?

Before I delve into the explanation of the weird title, I would like to do a round of introductions for those unaware. Batman is a superhero, but without any superpowers. He is a human being, who, even after all of his vulnerabilities, saves the day when the need arises. 
                          I came to know about Batman by accident actually. A 12 years old boy, at a book store looking for the latest issue of Super Commando Dhruv and Nagraj, suddenly spots a weird logo stamped on a comic book that has fell on the floor from the shelf, title reads 'Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again'. This was the beginning of my fixation on the Caped Crusader. Initially I found him very cool just because of the mystery around his persona, and I used to enjoy the comics for what they were, not really caring about the far deeper reason behind it (no one cares at that age). This fixation kept on growing over the years because of innumerable comic books, animated series and of course, The Dark Knight Trilogy by Mr. Christopher Nolan!
                         But now when I look back on all those years of crazy fandom, the obsession with the concept, I realize that there is a far deeper, more profound rationale behind it, and if I had to put it simply, I would say that Batman is all of us, and all of us are Batman.
                         I know it still sounds weird, but just for once, try to think of it the way I do. Each and every character, each and every human being around you, is being a superhero everyday, without even realizing. A woman managing her home, her work, her family and herself. A mother ensuring that her child is a raised in the right way, taking care of everything else around her at the same time. A man living in 2 different worlds at home and at work, yet ensuring he is the wall for the family and the ideal role model for his kid. A working daughter/ son, living away from home, dealing with new pressure each day, and still acting strong when they speak to their family. The guy who delivers your food, on a chilly winter night. The list goes on and on. There are countless examples of such people around us, including us. We all are vulnerable, we get hurt, we feel pain, our mistakes sometimes outweigh our good deeds, we get pushed down. But we do get back up, we overcome the pain and get on with the life, taking on the next challenge upfront.
                        I know these are trivial tasks which aren't even noticeable in the fast pace of life, but ultimately, all of us, everyday, are doing something valuable, no matter how minuscule that is. All of us, everyday, are rising above one or the other fear within ourselves, no matter how limited our capabilities are. All of us, everyday, are saving the day, no matter how vulnerable we are. All of us, everyday, are being a superhero, doesn't matter if it is for those who we care about or for ourselves.  
      And this is what The Batman is all about, and this is what, in concept, makes us all Batman!

P.S: I know this piece is largely influenced by my obsession with Batman, but I do feel the similarities I have pointed out are genuine. Some of you can obviously have a different opinion, which may or may not be in line with my beliefs. Please do share your thoughts in the comments section.
