    The Waukesha freemen is the only good thing from Waukesha, but what a gem it is.

    There is a lot to unpack in that paragraph.

    Like so much.

    Pulled out from where? and did what with it? I'm picturing her, like, waving it over the opossum like a giant fan.

    Little cheesy crackers in the shapes of fish, for those who are confused (I don't know where the brand is and isn't sold.)


    At least, I hope she was using crackers and not throwing actual dying golden carp on the possum.

    Ok. So it's a cheesecracker in the shape of fish.

    Pope calls on people to give up trolling for Lent:
    The pope made his appeal to tone things down while speaking to tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square for his general audience on Ash Wednesday, the start of the 40-day season that leads up to Easter.

    Lent, he said in partially improvised remarks, "is a time to give up useless words, gossip, rumours, tittle-tattle and speak to God on a first name basis," he said.

    "We live in an atmosphere polluted by too much verbal violence, too many offensive and harmful words, which are amplified by the internet," he said. "Today, people insult each other as if they were saying 'Good Day.'"

    Even if you are Bruce Wayne, your car still has to be street legal:
    A car designed to strike fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere has been impounded by authorities in Russia.

    The "Batmobile" - or more accurately a custom-made likeness of the superhero wagon seen in the film Batman V Superman - was spotted and seized by Moscow traffic police over concerns that it does not fit road safety regulations.

    A statement from the city's branch of the Ministry of the Interior has said that the so-called "batmobile" was confiscated in central Moscow.

    It was apparently "not manufactured within factory conditions" and was neither registered with authorities nor certified as roadworthy - the Russian equivalent of an MOT test. Upon closer inspection, police determined the car was also unlikely to be deemed safe for public roads.

    Has the batmobile ever been clamped? Like, in the comics?
    No registration, a number of illegal mods...
    I want a story where it gets towed and Bats has to provide two forms of ID to get it back.

    It has anti tamper countermeasures, so I pity the guy who tries. Batman probably keeps a large angle grinder in the trunk just in case.

    Its kind of a dropped detail but historically Batman has also cultivated the perception that he has legitimate super powers and not just gadgets - it's easy to forget that common knowledge among readers might not be in-universe. The cops probably assumes he'd just rip it off and throw it into the ocean.

    I've known traffic cops who honestly wouldn't let that stop them. One inch over the line, and your fate is sealed.
    Batman couldn't intimidate them, and he couldn't attack them due to them showing themselves to actually be honest law enforcement.

    But Batman is a millionaire, those comic book honest cops would be fired in an instant, probably leading to them eventually becoming villains, according to Gotham natural law

    Well, historically speaking, the batmobile has been prone to losing wheels at inconvenient times.
    At least once, that allowed the Joker to make good on his escape.

    Just don't remind batman about his BO problem. He's very sensitive about it.

    I mean, it's understandable. Dude is out every night jumping and running and beating up bad guys for hours on end, then sits in his suit in front of his super computer for another several hours.
    That's got to work up a sweat, and then just grind that bat funk into the kevlar threads or carbon nanotubes or whatever science material he's using.
    And it's pretty rare to see other bat suits in the cave aside from ultra specialized versions that aren't optimized for everyday wear.

    Sure, Alfred can try to wash it out, but there are only so many non bat-hours in a day. The bat funk builds up over time.
    That does go some way to explaining why the suit is so often stored in a hermetically sealed glass case rather than on an easily accessible coat rack.

    Maybe the glass case has like, a pressurized febreze atmosphere or something to try and deep clean it.

    This was actually talked about on the Good Morning From Hell podcast when they were interviewing the Joker. Was actually being voiced by Troy Baker - really well done.

    I do recall one of the lines the Joker could announce to his henchmen in the Arkham games being along the lines of "Don't be afraid! The rumors he drains the blood of criminals probably aren't true!"
