Batman — like Santa Claus — is a myth that teaches kids individual responsibility, the difference between right and wrong, generosity, and how to be an asset to society.
This year, when celebrating our Santa Claus myth — a hero whose superpower is miraculous generosity — why not encourage the ideas of justice through the myth of superheroes who risk everything for the good of society?
Walmart is making it easy by putting this adorable Hauck Batman Batmobile Ride-On Pedal Go-Kart on sale for only $89 (normally $129).
Your young one will be first on the scene when the bad guys strike with these wheels! And everyone will know he is there to save the day because that's what Batman does!
It's pedal-powered and has an easy-to-use hand brake that stops both wheels so that careening to the crime scene is safe (yet dramatic). This is real old-school fun. It's not battery-powered. And there is no screen time involved.
When you want your tiny hero to put down the screen and go outside, you won't have to keep repeating, "Go outside and play!"
Just suggest that the Joker is up to no good, and toss your child his cape. Your hero will fly out the door, leap into his Batmobile, and pedal to the rescue.
