Bat Thoughts – Beards
This week’s Bat Thoughts combines two great things, Batman and Beards. You may ask, “Wouldn’t this had made a great topic for ‘No Shave November?” I would answer, “Of course, but I hadn’t thought of it then, so we’re doing it now, get off my back.”
Batman does not just see a beard as a hipster accessory or a sign of laziness. To him, beards are much more complex, facial article. Obviously, he realizes the importance of a beard in a good disguise, whether it is a small goatee/mustache combo, or the full-on hobo look. Batman also sees the tactical advantage in a beard. Next time you’re attacking someone with a beard, try grabbing them on the sides of the beard and kneeing them in the face. When they are on the ground and you’re holding two handfuls of facial hair, you too will come to see beards as Batman does. Being Batman also gives beards some extra uses, like when your utility belt gets stolen, you can keep your extra Shark Repellent Spray in your beard. Perhaps you’ve used all of your Bat-Rope, use that chin-stache hair to fashion a long braid to escape whatever trap you’ve found yourself in.
As you can see, when your mind is as highly trained as Batman’s, Beards become even more incredible.
