Everything Goes Better With Batman.
August 29th 2007 -
It is a truth univerally acknowledged that a literary work of great merit and honoured fame must be in want of a Batman reference.
On the RPGnet Forums, this need is met, with results one might best characterise as lung-searingly hilarious, in the thread [Game] Take a famous quote and make it about Batman!.
Old folk forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But they’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats they did these days. Then shall our names,
Familiar in their mouths as household words-
Batman the Knight, Robin and Azrael,
Batgirl and Spoiler, Nightwing and Oracle -
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And bright Batsignal shall ne’er shine,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of Batfolk;
For they to-day that sheds their blood with me
Shall be my sidekick; be they ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle their condition;
And gentlemen in Metropolis now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their powers cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us in Gotham’s No Man’s Land!
