HeroesYou scored as Batman, the Dark Knight. As the Dark Knight of Gotham, Batman is a vigilante who deals out his own brand of justice to the criminals and corrupt of the city. He follows his own code and is often misunderstood. He has few friends or allies, but finds comfort in his cause.

Who I'd like to meet:
Groupies... and I mean interested females who have real MySpace profiles, not just links to adult dating sites like Adultfriendfinder or Fling, or to porn websites. Now, I could have about 300 "friends" by now if I pollute my page with this crap, but who cares about that? So, to all the cuties sending me cookie-cutter requests, chasing after "hottest MtSpace girl" or some shit: No porn links, please...
