Batman and Robin Pt.23 Batman Day Special
The past week hasn’t been pleasant, so it’s nice to finally settle down, and eat a good dinner with Barbra.
“So, how was work today?” she asks kindly, though she knows what I’ll say.
“The same case that’s it’s been for a week” I say, bluntly, honestly it’s gotten out of control recently, first Two Face, then one of the guys working for him becomes a threat on his own, jeez, it’s horrible.
“Oh, I see, so, anything especially interesting?”
“Nope, but I just watched that new Harry Potter movie.”
“Oh, the goblet one, right?”
“Yep, I saw it, then crashed here, put my comfy clothes on” I smile, glad to see that Barbra is making herself at home here, after all it hasn’t been to long since her parents died.
“As you can see, I got a Gryffindor sweatshirt on.”
“Ah, yeah…how the hell are you still wearing that, it’s almost spring?” I chuckle, and she smiles, then fires back.
“How do you wear that ridiculous trench coat all the time” I grin, and look over to my coatrack, where it sits.
“Well I love that thing a lot, fits nicely" we finish eating our food and then she puts her plate away, then plops herself back down on the table.
“You always wear that thing, especially when you talk to…him” I push up my glasses and then look at her, with one eyebrow up.
“Him, and who would that be” I try and push her, see how far I can get her to go.
“Ehh…Batman” she gives up must faster than I’d expect, surprising.
“How is he, I mean, he’s been around since 2001, and you’ve been working with him for almost that whole time” I think for a minute, it’s really been that long, and that Robin kid came into the business just recently, wow time flies.
“He’s a good person, cares a whole lot about this city.”
“What about the sidekick?” she asks with a slight smile, I open my eyes, better tell the boy wonder not to try anything.
“He’s good, seems to look up to the Batman.”
“What do they look like, most photos are pretty blurry” I think for a moment, then come up with a good enough answer.
“Batman wears a grey suit, with a yellow oval on it containing a bat symbol, the mask fits nicely on his face, with small bat ears, he has a cape and boots” she nods, and seems to like the description I give her.
“What about that Boy Wonder?” wow she’s really going all out on this kid, she hasn’t even met him.
“A green tights with a red leotard thing, on it is a yellow R and some yellow button things on the torso, a yellow cape, and black boots” she takes the info into mind, and then checks her phone for a minute.
“They sound pretty interesting, so how long you think they’ll be around?”
“Batman and Robin, I think they’ll always be here.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“He once told me that Batman and Robin are a concept, and not two people, they bring hope to people, in a world of darkness” I sit back, and look at her, she looks surprised, that defiantly surprised her.
“That was a lot deeper than I expected, honestly I’d love to meet these guys one day.”
“Maybe one day Barbra, I’m sure you’ll have the chance” she smiles, and then gets lost in thought for a second, as if she’s trying to find a response.
“Well like you said, I’m sure they’ll be around for a while” we laugh, and then head off from dinner, good to finally be home, and feel like the weight of the world isn’t on my shoulders.
