Finger got Freddied

"Hey Bill."

"Oh, hi Bob!  Good to see you again.  What's going on?"

"Oh, I just had this great idea for a new superhero and I wanted to run it past you."

"Sure, sure.  Let's see it."

"See he's called Batman.  Doesn't he look awesome?  I thought the red and black would go well together."

"Hmm...Well to be honest Bob I'm not so sure it works.  Plus he looks an awful lot like Superman.  Why don't you go with a gray costume; more mysterious and all."

"You mean like this?"

"Yeah, that's great.  And what about a full cowl instead of a domino mask.  It'll keep his secret identity better."

"That's a great idea Bill!  Boy, that domino mask sure looks silly now!  Like something a sidekick would wear.  Haha!"

"Oh!  You should give him gloves to prevent him from leaving fingerprints.  Maybe some cool spiky gauntlets too.  And those wings don't make sense, they'd be really cumbersome.  How about a ribbed cape?"

"Yeah!  This is looking great now.  What would I do without you Bill?  You know, I've been having trouble with a secret identity too; any ideas?"

"That's a tough one...How about Bruce?  You know, after Robert the Bruce.  And something colonial for the last name...Adams?  ...no...Hancock?  ...no...I've got it Wayne!  Just like 'Mad Anthony.'"

"Wowee Bill!  How do you do it?"

"Oh, I'm just trying to help a friend Bob."

"I want him to be like Zorro.  You know, because he has a mask and all."

"We could also make him a super-sleuth like Sherlock Holmes, and a Jack of All Trades like Doc Savage."

"Yeah!  And he's like Zorro because of his mask!"

"uhh...yes.  Yes he is Bob."

"Hey, do you think you could make some cool villains and story lines for Batman?"

"Well...um...sure."

"Great!  Hey everyone!  Come look at the awesome new superhero I came with ALL BY MYSELF!!!"
