Apparently the Hero Toronto Deserves Just Walks Around and Yells a Lot
While Gotham City’s Batman spends most of his time fighting crime, Toronto’s Batman just kind of wanders around and screams at people. I don’t know if this is because there’s a lack of crime to fight in Toronto, or if this Batman just lacks in the work ethic department, but it does seems kind of appropriate somehow. I mean, if Canadians get a decent health care system they really shouldn’t get the good Batman, too, right? Thanks to Craig K. for the tip.
