dear_mun | About that movie surely no one cares about.

They made more than one movie about bats?

[How exciting can they possibly be?]

[Well aren't you beautiful.]

They didn't really even need the first one. Who cares about exposition and history in movies anyway. All people care about is the good stuff.

[He delivers the good stuff.]

[He can't really say the same thing about you.]

Well, I can see them making a documentary but a series seems like it's overdoing it. [Pause] History can be pretty important but bats have been around for, well, awhile. I don't know that there's a lot to tell.

[Wrong kind of bat Steve. Also, you should probably watch the discovery channel more.]

[Ooh ho. This. This is grand.]

You know what. [He leers. Points. Nods and licks his lips.] I like you, I like your ~*style*~. I always said the Batman was overdoing it and no one ever listens to me, nooo no no.

[He doesn't get why no one listens to him. He's a really trustworthy kinda guy.]

Batman? I don't think I know him.

[Okay, now he's really confused. The list of heroes he knows is very short and Batman is not on it. Also, hadn't they been talking about the animal?]

I thought the uniform was a little old-fashioned myself. [What had Tony said when he had knocked his style? Something about him wearing a spangly-outfit.] Guess people like the stars and stripes though.

[He frowns a little. Everyone's opinions should be taken into account; it's only fair.]

No? We~ell, that's quite the shame now, isn't it.

[You see that smile on his face? It's now showing off severely yellowed teeth amidst the scars, because that's... that's not the style he was talking about at all. But we can roll with this!]

Uniform... uniform... see, it's a little too bright for me... and not enough pockets. You gotta have pockets or it's no good.

[Pause. Then another suspicious leer.] Why are you wearing America.

I suppose so. [He shrugs.] I'm surprised SHIELD didn't try to recruit him for the mess in New York.

[Because Batman is definitely a superhero name. Right? Right? Steve is trying really hard now not to judge a book by it's cover but it's kind of hard. Especially with the smile. There's something a little... off about it.]

Well, that's what the belt is for. [He gestures at the utility belt around his middle. Plenty of pockets there.] I didn't design it. At least not this version of it, I based the last version off a different uniform. They're all pretty obvious though. It draws attention away from civilians.

[He frowns. It's not often he runs into someone who doesn't know him, particularly while he's in uniform.]

Well, uh, I'm Captain America. It kind of goes hand in hand.

Huh... you're not a bat! Why would they put you in a movie that's about bats, pal?

[Kronk was here to bring some intelligent realness.]

Bat. Bat. [He laughs, high and oh so amused.] Of course I'm not a bat! Do I look like a bat to you?

[His amused face rolls away.]

I'm not a bat.

Yeah, I know! You're a guy with pretty lipsticks and stuff. [It reminded Kronk of Yzma's make-up, but all funny looking.]

Yzma said I wasn't allowed to touch her make-up stuff! Hah... not even the wrinkle cream.

I don't need wrinkle cream yet. [Right? Riiight.]

Oh, do you like it? I did it all. By. Myself.

[He tilts his head.]

Except for the scars. D'you wanna know how I got these scars?

It's real great, buddy! I bet if I tried to do lipstick, it'd get all on my nose and stuff. [Kronk wasn't poking fun at him. He... genuinely thought it looked nice.]

How? I got one scar on my knee from falling down the stairs.

I think Gotham has plenty to worry about without your particular breed of madness.

Oh, but see, that's where you're wrong, Ms. Beautiful.

Gotham just doesn't know what to do with itself without me. I'm a rare breed. You can't just pick me up at the side of the street, yanno. You'll miss me. I make things fun

I think you and I might have varying definitions of the word fun.

Sure, that's a terrible decision on their part, but look at it this way - now you can just make up what happened to you next, and people can't say you're wrong!

[ what movie ]

Feeling left out?

They can't put you in a film, see, if they never catch you. What fun, oh yes, what fun it is to be free.

You would know crazy, wouldn't you.

About that movie surely no one cares about.
