So you're sitting at a red light, waiting for it to change, and a big midnight blue sedan with a bubble top and huge scalloped fins pulls up beside you.
It's the Batmobile! And there's Batman, in his mask and ears, waiting just like you for the light to change. He's gotten through beating the crap out of the Joker or something, and now he's on his way home.
So what do you do? Do you honk to get his attention? If he looks, do you wave? Will he wave back? Or will he just keep looking straight ahead, like, "Hey, I'm Batman. I know I'm the shit."
Aerosmith is on the radio, and over in the Batmobile, Batman is mouthing the lyrics: "Walk this way! Walk this way!" It's like Steven Tyler's voice is coming out of Batman.
And Batman listens to the same radio station you do! How cool is that?
He fiddles with his rear view mirror a little bit, then puts it back the way it was. Plays a little air guitar.
He picks up his cellphone. Who's he talking to? Catwoman? Poison Ivy? Denise Richards?
He gets off the phone, reaches down and pulls a Dasani water from the Bat-cupholder and takes a swig, then puts it back.
You can see the light turn yellow for the other direction of traffic. Batman eases off the brake and lets the Batmobile inch forward.
The light changes green. There's a brief squeal of rubber, and zoom! he's off to the Batcave.
If you lived in Gotham City, you could actually see this happen.
