The Manbat Shows Off

Downtown Columbus was bursting with people one night as our favorite hero stalked the alley ways ever vigilante for crime. Trouble had found him in the form of some local middle school kids. The group had wandered upon the Manbat and had a time of it.

"You suppose to be a ninja or something? "One kid asked.

"No. I am the Manbat." Wayne replied.

"You look gay in all that plastic." Another kid taunted.

"It's vinyl and I look fucking awesome." Wayne said, getting frustrated.

"Look like a gimp suit. You waiting for Zed or what?" Another smart mouth kid blurted.

"I'm the Manbat!" Wayne shouted as he pulled the grapnel hook from under his cape. He threw it up to the fire escape over head and it missed, sailing back to the ground. He tried again and found purchase. The Manbat hauled himself hand over hand a couple times before the rope snapped and he fell back to the concrete. He composed himself amidst the laughing boys, trying to look imposing.

"That line's been through hell, I busted like twenty dudes yesterday." He lied.

"Man this shit is good, I'm gonna put this shit on yew-toob." One boy said as he filmed the Manbat's antics on a cell phone.

"Good!" Wayne said turning on the boy. He put his face to the camera, "I'm the Manbat, criminals beware, you will feel the wraith of justice!" Spittle flew from his mouth as he spoke.

"You do this?" One boy asked as he ran to a wall and jumped, planting his feet on it's surface and propelling himself into a back flip. The boy landed on his feet as the other kids cheered.

"Yeah, I do that all the time!" Lying is bad. "That's like first year shit, I jumped over a dude like that and snapped his neck. Dude was like 'Arrrgh,' You should have been there!" Wayne flourished his story with a few karate chops and a spin kick that made him trip over his cape. "Damn, new cape, not used to it yet." The boys booed him and dared him to flip off the wall. "Okay fine!" Wayne said.

"Can't wait to upload this shit!" The boy with the camera said.

Wayne climbed atop a row of dumpsters in the alley. Not to be outdone by the kid he decided to jump from there and flip down to the alley. Wayne had tried this same thing many times at his training camp, he always hit his head. He figured the extra height would fix that.

"Upload this." Wayne murmured as he flipped off the camera.

"Go bro, YOLO!" The boy with the camera yelped.

"Fuck you kid!" Manbat screamed ready to throttle the little shit.

"Alright psycho, just do it." One of the kids yelled.

'Fuck it.' Wayne thought. He raced across the dumpsters and leapt from the last one to the wall, his left foot made contact and he shoved himself backward and he fell back head first. He hit the ground and the impact snapped his neck as well as fracture his skiull. The boy with the camera filmed the whole thing and ran from the alley screaming "Oh my God! Oh my God! A gay dude in a gimp suit just fell and broke his neck!"

Sadly the Manbat died but the yew-toob video "OMG! Gay in Gimp Suit Breaks Neck" went viral and the Manbat finally got the fame he so lusted after.
