I just got my hands on a new copy of "Batman Begins" and guess what? For all this years I've been watching a heavily edited version! The whole middle section was cut out! Argghhh! Damn Malaysian censors! And the cut scenes didn't even need to be cut! What's wrong with them, jealous of Christian Bale's acting/hotness or Christopher Nolan's directing, or what?! No, no, no, NO!!!

On a lighter and funnier note, I just bought a laptop skin and on the packaging it was stated "e-Power sticker cannot eat". Okay, that's good to know. (Xrai: Argghhh! My laptop skin is eating my laptop! Noooo! *Tries to pull it off. Gets eaten.* Arggh, my hand! My head! My brain!)

And thanks for giving me your opinion on both my previous drabbles. The result is somewhat of a draw. Maybe I'll do a companion piece to those... some day. Thanks again!

Anyway, on with the drabble…

I am Batman

My name's Batman.

Yes. Bat. Man. Elizabeth Batman.

This is no joke. I'm not kidding.

Yes, it is Batman. Not Battam or Bateman or Bantam or whatever. B. A. T. M. A. N. You think I don't know how to spell my own name?

(Why did we have to move to Gotham?)

It was bad enough in Florida: Raised eyebrows, funny looks, "Batman? Unusual name."

But here it's worse: "Hey, Batman! Gonna beat up baddies tonight?", "Batman? Shouldn't it be Bat-girl?" or "Batman? Yeah, that's real funny, kid."

The stupidest question I've been asked so far:

"Are you the Batman?"

To jules14 (hope you're reading this, sorry I have to get this message through to you this way, the PM function on your profile is disabled): Thank you very much for pointing that out to me. Ouch, what a M. Sue. I won't do anything yet, it'll be interesting to see what she'll do next (if you don't mind, do tell me what she replied to your review). Thanks a lot. (and sorry for getting through to you this way).

Readers, in reference to this mysterious 'conversation' above, there is another BB/TDK fic under the same name as this fic of mine. Don't get confused. ;-p
