That it isn't Superman's job isn't enough? That it's almost always better to gain entry quietly through picking a lock rather than making a big noise that will attract more trouble strains your believability? It's too much to ask for Superman and Batman to work together as a team rather than...

Maybe it is, and maybe it's stereotyping too. So what. Playing a character consistent with what his culture and background is supposed to be is still, in my opinion, good roleplaying. You could, if you could come up with a good in-game reason why a dwarf is there and why he's taken up the...
