Jamie has quite definitely settled upon Spiderman as his favorite superhero/alter ego. He has still not, of course, ever seen a Spiderman movie, TV show or comic book, but he knows what he likes. While I was in London, Sarah and he happened upon a Spiderman costume in a store. Jamie was shaking with excitement about it, but had to wait for a less exorbitant version from e-bay. He now wears his Spiderman outfit more or less all the time when we are at home. He has also taken to answering the question, "What's your name" by saying, "Jamie, but my real name is Spiderman!"
I guess because he's never seen the actual thing, and because he's 4, he is full of questions:
What does Spiderman do?
Why does he shoot webs?
Why does my costume have a spider on it?
Does Spiderman ever sit down?
Does Spiderman lie down?
Can Spiderman ever die?
Is there a green Spiderman?
Can Spiderman be a bad guy?
And, in response to a movie poster featuring Spiderman and Kirsten Dunst: "What is Spiderman doing with that woman?"

Finn loves Spiderman, too! his Spiderman undies are his favorite, and he says, "he's my favorite guy." It's nice they have so much in common!
Oh, Spiderman underwear... sounds like a must-have (for Jamie, not me).
