New England Vigilance: Batman/Ra's

A fun 'fanfiction' of the iconic DC Comics super-hero who's become an American mainstay in offbeat/masked vigilantism imagery...set in a 'mod' Boston-town of 'alien' bounds.

A cool end-of-summer adaptation of Batman (DC Comics). Thanks for reading!

Amlan Satan was horrified to read of the newest news of 'troubles' in his beloved Boston, which he'd want to give a nickname for all its 'misadventures' of capitalism-race life, perhaps to reflect a basic conversational pedestrian 'friendly' inquiry, such as, "Got ham?" Well, Satan had become the city's (secret) masked vigilante known as the Batman and taken under his wing his cyber-homeschooling business/economics student and teaching-assistant Barbara Wily and helped her transform into his dark-nights ally named Batgirl. Together, the two super heroes hoped to create a figurative 'road-block' into the dark psyche of American Homeland criminality/insanity/terrorism (for the Ego).

Mr. Satan was a dashing socialite and wealthy inheritor of fortune(s) but also a Wall-St./NASDAQ investor of great renown as well as the city-dentist with office-hours on Fridays/Saturdays (wow). All this work 'overground' had veiled his night-time masked/sunglass wearing 'batmobile' street-riding adventures for heroics and deeds of capitalism-race 'insurance' and confidence. The Batmobile incidentally was an armored, shape-shifting, weaponized and nitro-boosted sport-auto which he liked 'toasting' on social-media as a certain 'war-vehicle' to be admired by today's hipsters/leaders invested in Homeland cyber-commentary about inventive citizenry vigilance...and handshakes (for all).

BARBARA (Batgirl): Did you hear of this new 'alien' threat to your beloved 'Gotham' (Boston)?

BATMAN (Satan): Surely have; in deed(s), this Eastern-Euro 'menace' is some chess-blocker!

BATGIRL: What's his motive, for the 7-Sins of werewolves of Gotham's night-darkness, hero?
BATMAN: I'd like you to stake-out this newcomer investor's estate-party; he's from Hungary.

BATGIRL: You think he's the same "Ra's al Ghul" fellow who's posted anarchy-masked agendas online?
BATMAN: Unclear; we do know he's no fan of Boston-town's Halloweentime festivities (for the Ego).

Batman/Batgirl set-out to decode the ID and agenda of this sinister Ra's al Ghul and his lady-siren ally of Hellmouth(s) named Talia. Apparently the two had become masked prowling terrorists with schemes of shifting/replacing/swapping key chemistry-science materials from the city, but meanwhile Amlan/Barbara hoped to see if the new 'husband-wife' duo of investors from Hungary (Rafe/Teresa) may've been the super-villains veiling for 'overground' commercial vanities. Batman was staking-out the power-plant in his 'batmobile' while Barbara attended Rafe's lavish NASDAQ-party on Boylston-St. (for social media posts/commentary about the new/emerged smart-car industry for Bostonian storyboards!).

RA'S: Shocks me to see you at the plant and not at the Rafe-estate party as a socialite, Batman.

BATMAN: My friend is there (now), Ra's; I doubt you've no 'tie' with that cyber-money affair (now).

RA'S: Perhaps Rafe-and-Ra's are one-and-the-same, and you're encountering the eye of evil(s) now!

BATMAN: Where's your seductive villainess of Boston-mischief, Ra's (Talia al Ghul)?

RA'S: Why'd I tell you is beyond you...this city's primed for black-and-white invisible insanity.

BATMAN: Not on my watch (ha).

Batman incarcerated Ra's al Ghul in Arkham Asylum for his 'contributions' to criminally-insane eco-terrorism 'chess-linked' city-piracy of chemistry equipment (perhaps for some 'sewer-tunnel' agenda of unnatural insanity). Meanwhile, Batgirl tracked Talia ('Teresa') to her Boston apartment following the NASDAQ city-affair for investors.

BATMAN: Maybe I'll spin this dark night tale into something more 'youth-friendly' (for comics/games!).

TALIA/TERESA: Seems your man-of-deeds is missing now.

BATGIRL: I knew you'd perhaps be the real Talia al Ghul, 'Saint Teresa' of money!

TALIA: Where's my darling Ra's...do you know, Batgirl?
BATGIRL: I doubt Batman allowed him to simply 'fly-away' with some power-plant examination(s).

TALIA: Alright; but we shall see (now) if you'll withstand some of my purse-poisonous gas (ha).

BATGIRL: Hey, I'm an 'avid-fan' of social-media chat(s) about femme-fatale ingenuity for control.

Thanks to Batman/Batgirl, the 'wolfish' Ra's and Talia were now safely incarcerated in Arkham Asylum, and meanwhile Amlan Satan and Barbara used some of their (own) purse/gem holdings to invest in a very nice educational program about space-age engineering/design inspired by Homeland movies/media/comics (wow). Ra's told the press, "I might be from Hungary...or from Hell itself...but either way, this city's 'examination(s)' for architectural/fantasy ambition will meet with a new 'wolfen' form of capitalism-race readings of (simple) war-daydreams...I promise (good for social media)."

"Is there a wolf,

A wolf in the park,
A wolf who wakes when the night gets dark?
Is there a wolf in the park?

Is there a wolf,
A wolf who creeps
From his hidden den while the city sleeps?
Is there a wolf in the park?

Is there a wolf,
Whose nightly track
Circles the park fence, zigzags back?
Is there a wolf in the park?

Is there a wolf,
Who pads his way
Between the tables of the closed café,
Is there a wolf in the park?

Is there a wolf,
A wolf whose bite
Left those feathers by the pond last night,
Is there a wolf in the park?

Is there a wolf?
No one knows,
But I’ve heard a howl when the full moon glows . . .
Is there a wolf in the park?"

-Richard Edwards (2006)

BARBARA: Hey, hero, I got you this cool Sabatini (Argentina) 'youth-fanzine' oriented trophy-item.

AMLAN: Wow...a memoir of the glorious 1988/1990 US-Open Finals (NY), no?
BARBARA: The upstart-athlete's cool-defiance of invincible Graf (Germany) was media-premonition!

AMLAN: There's always 'space' for sportsmanship-driven capitalism-race/media flowery for magic.

BARBARA: Surely; so I suppose Ra's/Talia are back on Mars (or being treated nicely at Arkham).

AMLAN: Surely; I'll use your pro-women's tennis 'gift' item for my tale of competitive humanism.

BARBARA: Write-on, Mr. Satan (can't wait)...for an education in 'wishful' exorcism (ha).
