Like
the Caped Crusader, there are a variety of archetypes (social role
models) found within literature--and psychological astrology. Carl Jung
used the concept of archetypes to identify these role models through
mythology as examples of the life patterns that the zodiac signs
personify. Note that there are male and female archetypes. To me,
Batman is a Scorpio type of role model: fighting the Underworld figures
by using the dark of night and a cave as his hide-out/power.
