Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Batman Sighting Puts Schools on Lockdown

To an Arizona middle school, Batman! Three schools in the north Phoenix suburb of Cave Creek were on lockdown for about 45 minutes Wednesday morning after a student at Desert Arroyo Middle School reported seeing a person dressed as Batman run across campus, jump a fence and disappear into the desert, Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said.

The student described the person as 6 feet 3 inches tall and possibly male.

"We're assuming it was male, although they did have a mask on," Clark said.

Officers combed the desert around the middle school. A nearby elementary school and high school also were on lockdown as officers sought the caped crusader.

The result — no Batman.

"It's just one of those interesting little stories that we looked into but we couldn't find anyone," Clark said.

Nedda Shafir, a spokeswoman for the Cave Creek Unified School District, said putting all the schools on lockdown was a precautionary measure.

"We didn't want to take any chances," Shafir said. "We just don't want to put anyone at risk."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How did you feel about the company? Someplace you'd want to work?

Not bad. Not my #1 or #2, but since #1 has said wait and #2 hasn't gotten back to me, who knows? My plate's not that full.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The result — no Batman.

Well, no, you wouldn't see him. Doesn't mean he wasn't there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The Batman-caused lockdown makes Boston's LiteBrite emergency look much better. I mean, they were actually finding them on bridges and stuff....

OMG. I totally kept seeing a Mooninite last night. It was very traumatic. When I half woke up and looked at my darkened laptop screen, I swear there were Mooninites floating across it, screensaver style. Creeped the fuck out of me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

reported seeing a person dressed as Batman

How do they know it was someone *dressed* as Batman? How do they know it WASN'T ACTUALLY BATMAN?!? That would explain how he disappeared. Cause -- he's the goddamn Batman.

Daytime.

But that's how he fools them -- no one expects Batman in the daytime!
