Whether we call it confidence, happiness, well-being, or serenity, what we are fundamentally referring to is a certain notion of energy. The happier we are, the more we tend to move towards higher energy spheres. In his book “Power vs. Force,” David R. Hawkins explains this. He even precisely outlines the hierarchy of emotions.

Batman is one of the few superheroes without any superpowers. This fact would make him similar to the average person, causing us to forget that he is anything but ordinary.
