Batman

The Dark Intruder

by Enormous on July 23, 2008

I had a terrible nightmare last night. I thought that someone was in my room.

I was dreaming that a man was standing in silence at the foot of my bed and that he was there to do me harm. ‘Wurhurrrr! Audrey!’ I called for my little dog, but she was hiding under the bed and refused to help. I managed to open my eyes slightly and realised that the intruder was in fact Hollywood heartthrob Christian Bale.

‘I’m Batman,’ he said. ‘The Dark Knight.’ He sounded like Scooby Doo.

I sleepily moaned a question. ‘Yes, it is a dark night, isn’t it – what do you want?’

He held out his hand. ‘Can you do me a favour and lend me ten quid?’

‘Look, Batman . . . Christian . . . whatever – I don’t negotiate with terrorists, please leave. And anyway, why are you dressed as Einstein? And what the hell are those!?’ He could have been the famous scientist’s identical twin had it not been for the fact that he had grown a pair of enormous breasts.

He moved closer. ‘After I’ve given you a good hiding,’ he barked, ‘I’m off back to the Batcave to work on my theory of Relativititty.’

Suddenly, he wasn’t so frightening. ‘You’re crazy,’ I told him. ‘No wonder you got arrested.’

More Secrets and Pies

by Enormous on July 21, 2008

Reg collared me again today. He was coming out of the Blockbuster store on the High Street with an arm full of DVDs. ‘What do you reckon?’ he asked.

‘What’s that, Reginald?’

‘I said to the bloke in there,’ he pointed behind him, into the shop, ‘Can I have Batman Forever?’

‘Oh, yes?’

‘Do you know what he told me?’

‘What?’

‘He said I’d have to bring it back eventually.’

He waited for me to laugh but I could only manage a smile and an ironic grunt.

‘Anyway, what’s the secret you were going to tell me the other day, Reg?’

‘Ah,’ he said, warming to the new subject, ‘come here, Davy, I’ll have to whisper this.’ He glanced around to make sure no one could hear him as I took a tentative step forwards. He leaned in to my ear. This is what he said: ‘Aliens.’
