Baldy has a point: word gets out that the Bat is on the injured list, you don’t assume he’ll come after you in a one-man copter. A large, multiperson Batcopter, yes. That’s a reasonable expectation, and you make preparations. But a one-man copter? You can’t blame a guy for not seeing that one. I mean, imagine the strategy session.
Okay, boys, this is the week we knock over the barn.
Uh boss? Why a barn again?
Because that’s where the blue bag is, you idiot. Remember: everyone wear suits, so we’ll stand out in a rural setting. Then we’ll meet up right under the big metal grain chute.
What about the Batman, boss?
Oh fer cripes sake. He’s injured.
But what if he shows up in a one-man copter?
Look. He went in the hospital two days about. You think he has time to built a one-man ‘copter? And customize it with those stupid bat-details he always puts on? Anyway, it doesn’t matter if he shows up in a one-man copter. We’re meeting under the chute, right? Well, I measured the string that activates the chute. There’s no way a guy could grab the string if he’s on a one-man copter, because the blades would slice right into the side of the barn.
What if he tilts the one-man copter at an angle?
Well, that would require a rear stabilizing rotor. Listen, I’ve seen some prototypes of his copter in Underworld Gazette, and –
What? He does have a copter!
Shaddup! I said a prototype. It didn’t have a rear rotor. There’s no way he could fly over and grab the string and dump the grain on us. Don’t worry! This is going to go off perfect.
What about Robin?
Hahhahah! That’s a good one. |
