That's like when they made Selina Kyle blonde in Batman: TAS just because Michelle Pfeiffer played her in Batman Returns. She'd always been a brunette in the comics, and it was nice to see the mighty creators swing her back around to that in Season 4.

And I don't think anyone wants to read about "perfect" people. Writing perfection, from a writer's point of view is A. hard, and B. boring. Flaws (both physical and emotional) are way more fun to write and more relatable for people to read/watch. One of the main reasons Batman is my favourite character is because is so damaged. Yeah, he's rich and handsome and successful, but he carries around one hell of a lot of emotional baggage, and it's that baggage that determines how he interacts with other characters and hence makes him interesting.

@Starling Starwing, That is one of my all time favourite JLU quotes =)
