Post about Batman sightings in the press, like The Gotham Times had that great photo of Batman a few weeks ago where he was at that festival with the crazy weird name and he's by the telephone pole. It's righteous.

Batman works at night. He specializes in the element of surprise he shows up when a crime is going on when people are engaged in violence.

Ns18 people have gotten pictures of him and people got video of that guy that was beat up by the cops at night.

Batman doesn't want anyone to see him. Just catch glimpses.

Amanita is right. It might take awhile, but the Times has gotten photos of Batman.

It was great to meet so many of you guys at the meeting. I finally figured out how to get on this messenger board. I want to talk about Batman's tactics. It seems to me that he has basically two approaches to a crime scene. His favorite is from above, like the way he swung down to help that homeless guy who was being hassled. The other one involves his car, but he doesn't use that much because it basically eliminates the element of surprise.

he does like to come in from above have you noticed that sometimes he *drops in* and sometimes he uses a kind of lasso to immobilize someone from above and then *hoist* them. he either leaves them helpless and dangling or tied to something for the cops

Something I don't understand and I was hoping someone here was a lawyer or something and could tell me. When the police get there, what do they arrest the bad guys for?

Whatever they did wrong.

Say someone is trying to braek into a car, and Batman stops them. When the cops get there the guy is tied to a light pole or something. They don't know what he did. He's not going to say I'm trying to steal a car and Batman stopped me. He's just some guy tied to a light post.

Poster: Ns18
Saturday, April 12th, 2008 at 12:47

There would be implicating evidence. Marks on the car where the guy tried to break in.

Poster: Amanita
Saturday, April 12th, 2008 at 12:52

And the guy says it wasn't him. I mean, batman isn't a cop, so what does it mean when he catches someone?

It's a citizen's arrest.

Poster: Scramble
Saturday, April 12th, 2008 at 03:10

There's not really such thing as a citizen's arrest.

Poster: Ns18
Saturday, April 12th, 2008 at 03:14

from wikipedia: Each state permits citizen arrests if the commission of felony is witnessed by the arresting citizen, or when a citizen is asked to assist in the apprehension of a suspect by police.

There's also a law on the books that a husband can't beat his wife with a stick thicker than his thumb, but that doesn't mean you should try using a thinner one because that's okay.

I'm just saying that it isn't a stupid question that Amanita asked, and your response was out of line.

Saw on the news last night that Batman stopped a crime just by showing up. Guys doing it saw him and just ran. That means that his appearance is enough to stop criminals. Cool!!!!

Liz perhaps you failed to notice what the last meeting was about, since you spent most of it talking instead of paying attention.

Monday, April 14th, 2008 at 20:26

If you guys had anything real to say, I would. But since you're a bunch of middle-aged guys who think you're going to go out and be Batman, all I see is male posturing.

Whoa. Isn't Scramble the dude with the shaved head? Whose Amanita? She isn't that mousy little thing that hands out copies of the previous meeting's minutes, is she?

I can't wait for the next meeting.

Anybody notice the guy in the red polo shirt at the last meeting? Sitting in the back with his arms crossed? Turns out he's Gotham PD.

Yeah. But they say he'll have full use again.

Poster: Batfan73

Sunday, April 20th, 2008 at 23:58

Tell BigEd we're all thinking of him.

I've been thinking about how crazy this is to go out at night, walking through my neighborhood, 'protecting' people. I'm just an ordinary guy, you know? Got two kids. Boys, 6 and 8. Could really use my sleep. My wife thinks I'm selfish, putting myself at risk 'playing Batman.'

My kids play 'Fear Toxin' in the backyard. They run around spraying each other and screaming with fear. It probably doesn't mean any more than when we were kids and we used to play war. There was a hill in my parents back yard and me and the other kids in the neighborhood used spend hours screaming 'grenade!' and throwing ourselves down that hill. But it feels different to me, maybe because their uncle, my brother-in-law, got a dose of fear toxin. He's been in and out of the hospital.

When I got home from work yesterday, I parked my truck (I'm an electrician) and I heard the kids playing in the back. I looked over the fence to see what they were doing. My oldest boy had a towel tied around his neck. He was Batman, and he was saving the younger from 'bad guys.'

It made me feel good. It felt like hope.
