Batman Meets His Greatest Foe: Belligerent Man in a Polo Shirt
Presumably during a crime-fighting mission that led him to the Las Vegas strip, Batman ran afoul of a criminal who was less superstitious and cowardly than usual. While the man in question didn’t break the Bat, per se, he did publicly embarrass him — although I’m not sure what Batman expected after telling the man to “suck my fucking dick” and then slapping at him like a girl (I mean, I know Batman is trained to fight in almost every conceivable fighting style, but I really don’t know when that would come in useful). At least Batman can take comfort in the fact that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas… unless, of course, someone records it and posts it on YouTube. Thanks to James F. for the tip.
