A man was walking in a dark tunnel as long as the eye could see. His head was killing him. He wiped a thick coating of sweat off his forehead. The heat down there was unbearable. Down there. He was assuming he was down somewhere, he couldn't shake the subterranean feeling. But, wait a minute. How had he gotten there? Further more, who the hell was he? Maybe it would come to him along the way. It had to be the heat. As soon as he found some fresh air, he'd clear his head.
Where does he get those wonderful toys!
What?
The voice echoed down the tunnel and dissipated. The walk continued. A life he didn't recognized began to flash across the cracked, muddy, tunnel walls, his only company on this endless journey. The story the images told was a gruesome one. It was about a man. A very bad man. This story had a narrator too. One that didn't show his face.
Let me tell you about this guy I know, Jack...
Jack?
Mean kid. Bad seed. Hurt people...
I have given a name to my pain, and it is...
BATMAN
The john doe stirred in his bed. His heart went up for just a moment or two. He was coming out of his coma. The bandages on his face covered his mumbling.
