I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pretty sure Batman is prepared for that. He has kryptonite, just in case Superman goes evil. Or, I don't know, just to fuck with Superman.

My money is on Leia.

I know Bats is tormented and whatnot from seeing his parents die bloody in an alley, but Leia watched her a dude kill not only her parents and her entire planet without giving up the info, HE TURNED OUT TO BE HER DAD (Spoiler-fonted because it amuses me to spoiler-font Star Wars.)

She once strangled a guy with a chain for dressing her as a hooker and licking her once or twice. I woulndn't screw with Leia.

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

I don't think we saw the same movie.

Princess Leia--formidable. Batman, despite all evidence, written as indomitable. Mostly Batman trumps Batman. External opponents, less often than you might think.

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

But could Batman use the force? It's hinted that Leia possibly could.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Obviously, Batman doesn't need The Force.

But what if Vader force-chokes him? Would Batman have to invent a Midichlorian-pesticide?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If Batman is in a force-chokehold, he still has time to reach into his utility belt and throw a batarang. Can Vader use the Force offensively and defensively at the same time?

If Batman is not concerned with super strength, heat vision, ice breath, flying opponents, etc, the force? Come on. The force couldn't kill a Robin. And we know what their lifespans are like.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I love us so much. That is all.
