7. Fortress of Solitude
No one would ever think that Batman had his own Fortress of Solitude like Superman. Granted, some would call it The Bat Cave or his underground lair or whatnot, but this was different. Batman had his own place, unbeknownst to Alfred, Robin, or even the ever-sexy Batgirl (that Alicia Silverstone was so hot in Batman and Robin, never mind the acting or plot or the movie itself.) Yes, Batman had a place to call his own. A place where a guy could pull off his cape and think. Rest a minute and snag a cheeseburger or two.
For Dean, who loved Batman (Adam West was still a personal favorite, aside from Michael Keaton of course), the Impala was his secret place. It was a home, a silent witness, to everything that had happened in the past thirty-odd years of his life. And he took care of her. He always had.
"Yeah, baby, nothing will keep us apart again," Dean said, stroking the wheel tenderly. He had never been this sweet to a woman before. No, his car, his baby, his lady, was the Chevy Impala.
