Onto Batman...

[neotoma]

so, sanj, ellen_fremedon and I were talking today as we walked from the Takoma Folk Festival, and the question came up of "what House does Batman sort into"?

ellen_fremedon brought up that you really have to take his personae into account here. There is 'Bruce Wayne the playboy', Batman, and the combination that is the real Bruce Wayne.

'Bruce Wayne', the silly role that Batman fronts to the world is, pretty much a Gryffindor in the eager-but-dim-puppy school. No one thinks he's dangerous, or even observant.

Batman, on the other hand, is an angry Ravenclaw. sanj was most firm on this -- *angry*, then Ravenclaw. Yojimbo was brought up for comparison.

The combined, *actual* personality of Bruce Wayne is, of course, Slytherin. Terrifyingly so.

Of course, we can't leave out Hufflepuff. That's Dick Grayson. And Superman. And Wonder Woman too, come to think of it.

Batman needs a lot of Hufflepuffs to sit on him, apparently.

I'd like to point out here that the reason I'd peg Superman as a Gryffindor is his santimoniousness (it's a word, shut up!), not his bravery.

Uhm, Hufflepuffs are conformists, and can be quite firm about enforcing the rules. Generally it is through guilt-trips and social isolation, but Superman is a bit more active than that

...which is why I would've probably said he was a Gryffindor. ^_^
