Batwhore. You know you want it.

There are many of us. We lurk. We proclaim our whoredom to the skies and anyone that'll listen. We may like or even adore other superheroes/vigilantes/villains, but our first loyalty is always to The Bat and his cohorts. You shall know us by our whine, which is 'yeah, the Superman t-shirt is nice, but don't you have one with a Batman logo?' It's very simple. We are everywhere. Proclaim your whoredom to Gotham City and the Bat-clan now.

There are several tenets that all faithful Batwhores know to be true. These shall be added to as time goes along. They follow thus :

1 : Costume of style. Garish is not of the Bat, and everything goes together seamlessly.

2 : Villains of surpassing coolness and craziness. So much homicide, so many brains, so many crime sprees... And name me someone past Lex Luthor in Superman, I dare you.

3 : "Where does he get such wonderful toys?"

4 : All sidekicks shall bow before the original sidekicks of power.

5 : Glasses? Oh, please. A proper disguise is full cowl and cape, and a playboy persona of ineffectualness.

6 : Superpowers are for wimps.

7 : Traumatic pasts are what leads to obsessive behaviour and vigilanteism.

8 : Brains first, people.
