But what if Vader force-chokes him? Would Batman have to invent a Midichlorian-pesticide?
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But what if Vader force-chokes him?
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Matilda does love her some princesses, but it's gratifying that her favorite is Princess Diana of Themyscira.
In less gratifying girly news, one of our new faculty members is growing... discouraged would be putting it mildly. Since arriving here as colleague, mentee, open-heart-surgical protegee and pet statistics wizard of the new division chief, she's had to deal with endless incidents where senior faculty members turn to her at the end of meetings and say, "Your enthusiasm is nice, but students aren't really supposed to come," or preop families spend an hour watching as she examines their kid and then sitting down for another hour to discuss the upcoming operation in incredible detail, and then say, "Thank you so much, you've been so helpful! When do we get to meet the surgeon?"
And just today, a parent who'd heard about another faculty member resigning called to ask whether a new surgeon had been assigned to her child's case yet, and to say, almost apologetically, "I'm really not sexist *at all,* it's just that I'm more comfortable with male doctors. Nothing against this surgeon, I've never heard anything bad about her; I just really prefer men. But I'm not sexist!"
What the actual fuck, people?
