Another Batman Moment

Ok, I can't even begin to describe the combination of joy and consternation that this picture induces in me. Therefore:



I know that Batman likes to dispense his very special version of Justice, but this is starting to get a little on the weird side. I am not much of a Batman fan, so I don't have a clue as to who this woman is, nor the photographer, who at least seems to getting a real kick out of his work.

What on earth did this poor woman do? Peek under his mask? Try to check out his utility belt more closely? Is she a truant officer, trying to get Robin back in school? A social worker trying to get Robin out of that damp cave? Alfred's mistress? I'm stumped.

Besides, according to the child psychologists, spanking is a bad form of punishment. You are supposed to give her a "time-out" Bats. Otherwise, you'll damage her self-esteem! Of course, considering the type of criminals that Batman fights, I'm not sure that self-esteem is a good thing. The Joker is LOADED with self-esteem. Of course so is Hal Jordan, but that's another whole kettle of fish.
