Batman. Driven by a Desire for Vengeance.

As we all know, young Bruce Wayne vowed to fight a never-ending battle against crime to avenge the senseless murder of his parents. He gave up everything to become a relentless force against crime. A never-resting champion of the weak and defenseless, and scourge of criminals everywhere.

Unless, of course, he doesn’t feel like it.

“Gosh Batman, it sure is interesting how the crime rate goes up every Labor Day Weekend.”

“Shut up and row, or it’s back to the orphanage with you.”

More Gender Politics

Tom Blake is bored, and decides to embark on a life of crime.

“Sure, she’d trained for years and worked her way up, but she was a woman! I’m sure I could be a master criminal in a day or two, what with my being a man and all.”

Please note that it took a female writer to make Catman a non-joke.

Mmmm…. Smells like irony.
