A (very) Rare Batman Post

Let's face it, Batman is no Guy Gardner. Or even a Hal Jordan for that matter. I find him to be brooding, occasionally petulant, and frequently an utter wanker. He seems to be improving a bit lately, which is a good thing. A very very good thing.

Rachelle over at Living Between Wednesdays likes him however,so I guess he can't be too big of a tool. And coincidentally, she has given me an idea...an epiphany if you will. Such as WHY does Batman see the need to keep teenage boys in that damp cave? He's already got Alfred doing all the work, cooking, cleaning, laundry, nursing, etc. That's a lot to ask of an old man, so I thought originally that perhaps Bruce decided that Alfred could use some help. Then it occured to me, that trying to get a teenager to pick up ANYTHING, much less do some yard work, is a lost cause.

Then it hit me. Batman needs Robin...to work his batcomputer for him. And possibly also to program his dvd player and VCR. No grown man can get the 12:00 to stop flashing! Bruce also needs Robin in order to figure out how to download all the Batporn.

The latter is probably why there will never be a trophy case devoted to Stephanie in the Batcave. While Jason was a whiz at finding Batporn, Stephanie found it and said "eeeuuuwww!" and then erased it all. No Memorial for you, Steph!



His parents are dead you know.
