My favorite photo of my favorite suit.
I'm on the same boat- don't care one bit about Star Wars.
Wow - this guy means business too.I'm 31 and SW means Nothing to me. I've seen the movies but Not a Huge fan. Batman always trumps SW

He spelled 'nothing' a capital N.
Of the nerdy things I like as an adult,
Batman > Star Wars
Terminator > Star Wars
Robocop > Star Wars
Lord of the Rings = Star Wars
Star Wars > Indiana Jones
Star Wars > Back to the Future
Star Wars > Marvel
Star Wars > Spider-Man
Of the nerdy things I liked as a kid,
Batman > Star Wars > Everything else
Nope, just pure speculation at this point.
I've always liked Star Wars, but Indiana Jones is the one that clicked with me. I guess what it comes down to is a matter of preference, and, to me, pulp adventure is greater than the "space opera."
In the pantheon of Geekdom, however, Batman is my Zeus. Frankly, I dare say that a character who debuted in the pages of a 10¢ comic magazine is one of the single greatest creations in all of contemporary fiction. The irony of that being that he is inherently derivative, but, nevertheless, it's like all of those different elements combined to form something magical. It really is curious, though, to wonder what the staying power of these characters will be. Denny O'Neil said that superheroes are our modern mythology, and that's a fascinating statement. Will people remember these characters in one thousand years the same way we look at Greek Mythology? The advent of film is a relatively infantile one, but it also seems like an incredibly durable one. I don't know. I know I kind of spun off on a tangent, but it's a prospect that intrigues me greatly.
