#1004: Batman explain

Batman

[One panel, depicting three wavy circles. The one in the center is slightly larger, and the ones on either side are higher up. Their edges are touching.]

[The left circle has Bruce Wayne in the foreground, with Alfred in the background.]

Alfred: Know your limits, Master Wayne.

Bruce: A man dressed like a bat has no limits.

[The center circle has a close-up on Batman in his cowl.]

Off-screen: What the hell are you?

Batman: I’m a man dressed like a bat.

[In the right circle is The Joker.]

Off-screen: What do you propose?

Joker: It"s simple — we kill a man dressed like a bat.

[Caption below the panel:]

My Hobby: Whenever anyone says “Batman,” I mentally replace it with “a man dressed like a bat.”
