Bat-Boy

For those of you who have been keeping up with the world of Batman comics, you know that, about a year ago, Bruce Wayne was killed, while saving the universe, of course, by a ruthless demigod. Quickly, the other heroes of Gotham City recognized that a Gotham without its Dark Knight would be a Gotham that would fall into criminal chaos. A short challenge ensued and Richard Grayson, the original Robin emerged as the man that would wear the cape and cowl of Batman.
Rai, you weren't even born when this 'battle for the cowl' was going on. Still, it's never too late to go after what you feel you deserve. Now that you're walking, you're definitely ready for the acrobatics and physical feats that are necessary for success as the protector of Gotham City. So, you are calling for a new 'battle for the cowl', you enter as the last, and most worthy contender. If cuteness and an infectious laugh were the only criteria, you'd win this competition hands-down. They aren't, however, so you may be in for the showdown of your short life.
Whatever the result, whether you are the new Batman or not, doesn't really matter, though because these past few weeks have brought the latest news to Bat-fans everywhere. Bruce Wayne is not dead. An impostor corpse was discovered in his grave and a series of clues has enlightened everyone to the fact that Bruce Wayne is actually trapped in history. To escape his certain demise, he threw himself into the timestream and found himself lost in time. This summer, the Bat-books will follow Bruce Wayne as he makes his way from one important historical era to another, searching for a way back to his natural place in time.
With this development, the Batsuit that you earn, Rai, may only be available to you for a short time as Bruce is coming back to claim it. I think, instead, you should consider your future as a sidekick. No, I don't mean Robin. How about Bat-boy? That position is still available.

  1. Rai, I have an alternative, just in case Bat-Boy is too demanding for your tender age. Because we sing together everyday, why not consider......Bat-Boy, The Musical. It has been out for 15 years and has traveled the globe with rave reviews in Korea and Japan. We'll need to begin practicing the score of 30 songs so you can be comfortable in the role. A few of my personal favorites are: #4 Hey Freak, #22 Burn, You Freak, Burn, and #25 Is All You Taught Me A Lie? No time to waste. Let's get started tomorrow morning, Little Guy.
