    There's always ways to make the streets safer. Look for petty thieves and drug dealers rather than some obvious super villain trying to take over the world. Sometimes you have to work hard to ferret out the bad guys.

    You shouldn't literally fight in school, because you can get in a lot of trouble for this. If you someone being bullied, speak up and defend the person, or go tell an adult. Stand up for your principles, but don't physically harm anyone.
  • Question
    Do my parents have to be dead?
    Community Answer
    No. If you are searching for a traumatic backstory, there are plenty of other options, but you don't even necessarily need to go through something as awful as that. Most superhero/vigilante stories (including Batman) just have the parents killed off to give the character motivation for their heroism in taking down the villain/criminal.
  • Question
    I don't want to copy him, people will think I'm some clown and a wanna-be Batman, but could I copy the outfit to be a superhero?
    Community Answer
    Maybe attempt something that is mainly black for stealth, but drop the bat gimmick. Find something that fits better with your personality or childhood. You may know the character Black Canary (from comic books and was shown on the CW show Arrow), she chose her name because of a pet that she had as a young girl and her love for the bird. There is also Black Panther (from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who made his debut in Civil war and is now gaining his own movie), who chose a panther because of his culture.
  • Question
    Do I have kill my own parents?
    Community Answer
    That would be an emphatic NO. Killing anyone, let alone parents, is liable to put you on a fast track to prison. DON'T kill your parents or anyone else. There's dedication to costuming, but this would be going too far.
  • Question
    Do I have to break bones to interrogate my enemies?
    Community Answer
    No. Simply them knowing what you could do can make them talk. Try not making it seem obvious that what they know is very important to you, because if they know they have something you want, they might use it to get something out of you, too. Instead attempt to find non-violent leverage.

  • Question
    How can I find drug dealers and/or petty thieves and how should I go about taking them down?
    Community Answer
    Things like that are fun to pretend and fantasize about, but in reality, seeking out criminals is a really dangerous idea. Stick to pretending and be a superhero to those around you by helping out instead of trying to take down criminals.

  • Question
    Did Batman talk to his parents about a plan?
    Community Answer
    No, Batman's parents were dead before he ever decided to be Batman. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your parents informed of what you're doing, especially if you decide to do something that could be dangerous.

    You shouldn't do anything that would be breaking the law that could get you arrested. You should contact the police if you find yourself in a situation like that. If you are ever wrongfully arrested, you should hire a lawyer.
