Why Peter Grant is Batman*

• Thomas Nightingale: ‘100 year old nuclear weapon in a 3 piece suit’ (quoth @thebaconsandwichofregret)
• Beverley Brook: Literal Goddess
• Tyburn and all the other Rivers: also literal gods and goddesses, but older and scarier
• Molly: exiled Queen of the Fairies
• Martin Chorley: actual real live supervillain
• Lesley May: supervillain-in-training, magic face-changing powers, possessed by the ghost of a god????
• Varvara Tamonina: professional henchwoman and immortal Russian witch
• Peter Grant: goes toe-to-toe with all of the above as friends/colleagues/mortal enemies mostly by virtue of his intelligence, detective skills, and inventive use of technology, has acquired/semi-adopted a teenage sidekick, absolutely hates guns, would rather talk people down than get into fights with them

QED, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

*But, like, approximately a million times less angsty. And rich. And we’re definitely talking 90s TV show Batman here not any of the Frank-Miller-esque versions.
