Let's say I'm Batman! And let's say I suck my way out of a great and eternal problem!
But let's also acknowledge that it's a societal problem, and that solutions need to be found, not bought 'n' sold!
And let's also concede that Batman doesn't solve all the problems, but he's by far the most interesting and compelling character to come out of the story.
How well do you know Batman?
I know tons!
Batman doesn't solve all the problems, but he's a compelling character. Why not flesh it out into something more interesting and better explored, you know? Maybe stick with Batman?
What?! I'm gonna be a T-Rex!
I'll be a robot that walks on eggshells! And let's say I stomp this house, okay? And let's say I kill this criminal and make my last words to anyone else be "He's Batman, so he's supposed to be saying this." And let's further this by saying "I stomp him every day, and even if I don't kill him, I leave him in the cold, and for good!"
And let's further this by saying "I kill all the Batman, and only if the criminal is really bad at being dead." And let's further this by saying "I put him in a box and put bacon in the microwave, and only if the criminal is really bad at microwaving."
Um, this only worked because the box contained bacon?
Batman doesn't jail break, dude!
Which means even if the criminal were truly bad at microwaving, he still had enough microwaves in his body that by breaking bread and bacon I'd get him a box of bacon.
Can we reach an understanding, some small, about bacon?
I don't think we can, dude! The prison doesn't even house the best part of it.
And I don't think the prison doesn't know bacon's purpose is any more evident than the prison FEELS. And if it exists, I'm pretty sure it'll be a good character to follow.
We'll just have to hunt our food for eggs!
Or, we could just go home and eat all the bread and bacon we don't need FOR THE REST OF OUR lives!!
