It's a spider, not just some bug. And at least Spider-Man is being consequent : he was bitten by a spider, this gave him some spider-abilities and he calls himself Spider-Man. Easy as pie.But why did Batman decide to dress up as on overgrown Bat-thing ? When you think about it, he has nothing in common with a bat. And please don't say that just like a real bat, Bruce Wayne prefers the night, because I find that a lame excuse. And the fact that according to Frank Miller a bat flew into his house when he was doubting himself, doesn't convince me that much either.
If I had to dress up as every animal that flew or crept into my house whenever I was doubting myself, I should call myself Mothman. Or Bugman. Or Mouseman. Or Creepylittlething Man.
Well, he had to find something that would strike fear in the hearts of his enemies! I don't know about you, but I would be scared if an lunatic dressed up as an overgrown bat would come after me. 🙂
