Batman Comes to Nigeria!

The name is Batman, and this is bound to be a story of proportions so epic I'll probably get sued by Disney, an adventure so massive Michael Bay peed himself in anticipation, this is a story of love, life, death, alomo bitters and water in pure plastic bags.
This is the story of my biggest and greatest adventure yet, this is the story of the day I found myself in...Nigeria!!*Cue in Nigerian film sound effects*
As some of you may know, no matter the offence I never ever ever kill...unless you touch a bottle of my favorite brand of alcohol. Its your lucky day readers as my last bottle of Alomo Bitters finished last night. From what I hear your people have it in abundance.
Looks like I'm heading to Nigeria. Now that I think about it, I've never dated a Nigerian girl before. Note to self, pass through South America and shave some Brazilians.

Don't cry, your hair will be worn by another proudly while she operates a blackberry phone.
.............................................................................................................................................
Some Brazilian hair and two weeks later and here I am in Nigeria, the self proclaimed giant of Africa. A country so corrupt that the number of legit policemen are only as many as the words in the First Lady's vocabulary, so corrupt the term tax evasion is synonymous with work allowance.
I'm in the nation's capital, perched on the roof of one of the city's tallest buildings looking for my target. If I am to deal with the request of my loyal readers I must start at the top of the food chain, the friggin president!
Intel suggests he lives in a villa called Aso Rock guarded by a thousand Nigerian policemen. A thousand may as well be equal to nothing when I know their one weakness. With one swift movement I jump off the building and glide in the direction of my targets abode, justice will be served!
I arrive at the gate, security is tight as expected. Snipers are on the roof, guards are on patrol and they number in the hundreds. But I'm the frigging Batman, I have a plan for everything. I push a button on the side on my utility belt and a car slowly drives to the side of the fence, drawing the gaze of every police man and security personnel on the premises. On the car the words, “Free Bribes” are written in large letters. As expected every man, woman and dog on the premises begins to chase it down the road leaving the house of the most important man in the country open. I let myself in through the front door.
I get to the president's room and immediately the door bolts shut behind me. Someone is trying to trap me. He must have known something was wrong when his security vanished. His words echo in the air “You should not have come here Batman, now face my secret weapon”. And in that moment the first lady appears. I have read about her, she is the president's personal interrogator often subjecting suspected criminals to her longest speeches till they admit to the crime or run mad in the presence of such horrendous spoken English.
She starts to laugh, and even her laughter is in the wrong order 'ah ah ah ah'. The evil woman had the nerve to put the a before the h. This is bad, very bad. But I came prepared, I put my hand in my belt and begin to remove the one thing she is powerless against. As she begins her newest independence day speech, I get out my own secret weapon, the English dictionary she cowers in terror as she sees it, falls to the floor and eventually passes out.
His security force dismantled, secret weapon disabled and life in the palm of my hands. The president begins to beg for his life. I ask for two things, one a never ending supply of Alomo Bitters and two, an end to the evils that plague my readers. He promises to fulfil the former but claims the other request is beyond his power. He tells me I will die if I think I can stop the man responsible, the head of the Nigerian Illuminati. I demand for a name, all he gave were three letters 'OBJ'.
With that I vanish from the premises satisfied with my work for the night. I have the name of my next target and enough alcohol to last me a lifetime.
Trust me you do not want to miss the epic conclusion to this monster of a story, it'll be like tales by moonlight and Warner Bros had a baby but since this is Nigeria the following words are more than appropriate...
WATCH OUT FOR PART 2!

Batman's Newest Recruit


On this beautiful afternoon, I was in the toilet at work, sitting down, doing my business when my boss walked in and said,

"Shouldn't you be doing that on your desk?"

I grinned and packed all the documents resting on my laps. Stupid idea to have put them on my laps really, there was plenty sauce on it and the chicken wings. I quickly walked out and headed to my desk to do what my boss told me to. He’s always on my back! I guess it’s my fault for liking to carry people. I told him to get off then I sat back on my chair. My watch said it was 5pm and as I heard its voice, I knew I needed to cut back on the LSD.

Suddenly, my boss walked up to my desk, looking angry. He slammed his hands on my table and said, "In my office. Now!"

I said, "Alright, you carry that end and I’ll carry this one."

As we both lifted it into his office, he sat down and said, "There have been some complaints from your colleagues that you’ve been looking at half naked women in your emails."

"Honestly, sir," I said. "I don't think they like me!"

"Why do you think so?"

"Every other subscriber got full nudes,” I replied.

I doubt he understood my grief, because an hour later, security was escorting me out of the building. This is the second time I’ve lost a job. The first time, I was friends with Apple’s former CEO.  Anyone watching the security walk me out of the office would think they were about to burn me alive for my incompetence. Of course, they weren’t. This wasn’t 1800’s Rome; I chuckled to myself as I walked out into 1810’s Spain. I stood by the road and waited for a taxi to drive-by. Can’t blame me really; I was so depressed I wanted a gang taxi to shoot me down. After a while, one stopped beside me and asked me where I was going.

I said, “Relax, this isn’t real! I’ve been on too many magic mushrooms, because there is no way a number can talk.” So I kept quiet and waited till the number one disappeared. An actual taxi finally came by... and guess who was in the driver's seat... Christian Bale!

I never knew he was Christian. I sha wanted to ask him if he has decided to go to Real Madrid or stay at Tottenham, but I refrained. He said Batman ordered him to bring me to the Batcave and thinks I’d fit well in the Justice League. So yeah, this is my story – I’m their newest member. What are my powers? We’d get on with that in subsequent posts, mate, cheers

batman & robin!



Hi everyone, I’m Robin. The Police Department doesn’t pay me for my heroics and everything, so that is my only means of earning money – DID ANYONE SEE WHAT I DID THERE

This is another one of those Batman – Robin conversational blogpost thingies, by the way. I’m very fond of them and it’s why I write em down as they happen. 

 I asked Batman if I could borrow his tuxedo last night.
"Ok, but don't damage it." he warned. "I want it back in one piece!"
I hope he likes it now. I spent all morning stapling the trousers to the jacket.

Welcome! Here are events taken from our personal lives when we’re not saving the world or any of that corny shit; our workplaces, home etc. I present to you a definitely recurring skit of Na na na na na!





Batman: “Did you know that women are attracted to men who treat them badly.”
Robin: “That’s true. When a beautiful lady came into my surgery today with a swollen ankle, I gave her cough medicine.”

Robin: “After weeks of maintaining eye contact with my female boss at work, she finally asked me out today.”
Batman: “That's good. What did she do next?”
Robin: “She asked me not to step back into the office again.”

In tears last night, I called Bruce on the phone and said, "I have just found my dog lying down in a puddle of blood in my back garden!"
Batman: "That's awful. Is it moving?"
Robin: "Quite emotional, yes."

Robin: “I’ve been pissing on my boxers anytime I want, and I personally don't see anything wrong with it.”
Batman: “It's why none of them want you to continue coaching them, isn't it?”

Batman *on his computer* : “Spiderman has just updated his Facebook status and it says:  "I love my girlfriend so much. You are my world xxxxx."”
Robin: “Why did he encrypt her name?”

Robin: "I just met a doctor who claims he can cure my illness."
Batman: "Which doctor?"
Robin: "Wow. Who told you I went to the village?”

Robin: "Women can be very confusing at times!"
Batman: "What makes you say that?"
Robin: "This one girl today told me to take off my jacket, to take off my belt and my shoes but when I started touching her, she freaked out...

I fucking hate airport security!"



(The Perv Nerd)

Robin: "I think I'm going to call myself Ironic from now on."

Batman: "Why is that?"


Robin: "So that whenever there's trouble and I'm running away, people will be like. "Isn't that ironic?!""
