Batman-Joker: 20th-Century Media IQ

A Story by Abishai100

Rivals of Gotham (good-evil), Batman/Joker, engage in a social-media public debate about 20th-Century sports-broadcast symbolism for capitalism's Ego.

A capitalism-culture 'defense-debate' between DC Comics' iconic duo of good-evil (Batman/Joker) conversing about the media 'density' of modern competitive activity symbolism, regarding the iconic/symbolic Duke-Indiana 1992 (NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament semifinal) and inspired by the culture-ergonomics images and themes from Capitalism: A Love Story (Michael Moore). Thanks so much for reading (and enjoy!),

Batman and Joker decided to debate in a public online forum for a special Gotham challenge for public-net broadcast/display, featuring the wily and valiant democratic vigilante crime-fighter against criminally-insane super-terrorists (marshalled intellectually by the brainiac-sinister Joker) known as the Batman. Batman insisted this public representation of social-ethos regarding modern media-civilization between himself/Joker would 'illuminate' some of the ethics-complexities of capitalism-couture/culture defense against the Machiavellian 'conversations' offered by underground/deviance messengers like the still at-large Joker, in the hopes for crime-cessation treaties and probes for social-street civics governance (wow).

BATMAN: I've always been a public 'unmasked' socialite cyber-figure of democratic commentary, interested in the social-media Gotham culture of personality-driven capitalism rhetoric, Joker.

JOKER: Idealism, yes...excellence, no; I'm a Machiavellian 'Devil's Advocate' of the ideology of capitalism 'imprinted' onto Earth's media/entertainment/consumerism 'face' culture (fanzines, Bollywood, etc.).

BATMAN: Let's evaluate the value of sports-media capitalist-race 'treasures' of the 20th-Century, Joker, such as the 'iconic' Upper-Deck Strike-Force Randall Cunningham post-Eagles career team-transfer (Vikings-QB) Super Bowl ambitions-symbolism double-set cards (scarlet-edition original and its silver-replica print) --- signposts of the iconography-potential/superstition behind defense-worthy capitalism.

JOKER: Those are 'dandy' sports-treasures; the Cunningham (Upper-Deck) Vikings double-set (scarlet/silver editions), and capitalism/sports-consumerism are flawed by human avarice, Batman!

BATMAN: There's indeed 'much' vanity in the sports-world/media, but if we 'magnify' the iconography of the 1992 Duke-Indiana (Final-Four) men's college basketball matchup, a 'hallmark' for 20th-Century media-broadcast era sportsmanship/social-activity, we see 'real' tangible trends in socialized forms of teamwork-driven competition faerie-tale storytelling (for fans/consumers alike!), Joker.

JOKER: I concede the 1992 Duke-Indiana matchup revealed much in the 'electric-energy' between rivals Hurley-Cheaney, and it featured a 'cool-reunion' of Coach-K/Bob-Knight, but all this 'hoopla' about organized competitive activity I 'doubt' will 'cure' Gotham City darkness/insanity regarding the human 'yearning' to simply defy all institutionalism 'trophies' of manmade civilization, Batman (hmm?).

BATMAN: When I think of the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder), I think of the 'magic' of human social-media/consumerism and its imprints onto the 'market-richness' of magazine-culture consumerism 'sanity' defense for American Homeland leadership/integrity regarding capitalism's special/superstitious 'diplomacy' face, Joker.

JOKER: There's a dark mystery to the world of socialized activity and the image-hoisting of behaviors/vanity for mob psychology, but all this 'glitter' of the human mind, in sports/games/fashion, reveals an antisocial anarchic sensibility of our 'grand capitalist race' to trumpet pure angst.

BATMAN: The true 'color' of capitalism is hospitality, imprinted onto the idea that social-media conversationalism access to the iconic 1992 Duke-Indiana matchup highlighting why rivalry-storytelling for competition-themes reflective of capitalism-praise, and reminds us why the 'taste' of choreographed intelligence in the modern troubled 'dark' city, Joker, can be a 'social thing' of hostels.

JOKER: There's no 'medicine' in human consciousness without the corollary contemplation of the sheer yearning for all things that can be taken like a sucking-vacuum of pure hunger-games...with potentially no sharing!
