Batman Complex

This occurs when you do good/nice things for people and nobody cares or acknowledges what you've done for them much like the relationship between Batman and the City of Gotham.

Tom: So I watched over Joe's house while he was on Va-Ca and when he came back he didn't say thanks then he was pissed because i misplaced his frying pan. what a dick!

Pete: Yeah you've got a real Batman Complex on your hands.

Batman Complex

The tendency the general population has to follow and praise those who are slightly above average, instead of those who have achieved much greater things.

Average dude: "Hey, look at this athlete I'm following on instagram, he can bench 100kg!"
Well-read dude: "That's cool. I'm following this chick who can bench 110kg. She's a middle-weight powerlifter. You can follow her too."
Average dude: "I don't know about that..."
Well-read dude: "Maybe you have a Batman Complex then?"
Average dude: "Maybe.. Bye"

Batman Complex

someone who takes it upon them self to take on a perceived danger no mater how ridiculous (even if it is only a one percent chance)

Batman complex

When you do alot of good in the world, but you know that it will gain you many enemies so you shun much of public life. You gove up relationships, have an uneasy relationship with family, and you build up your body and your mind every day for the fight every knight

So why doesn't John ask Stephanie out?
Oh he cares too much about her. With his Batman complex, he knows that she will never be safe
