Damn. He made many sick children happy by being Batman for them.
He stopped "Partially in the Fast Lane", checking the engine. He was definately in the wrong place to be outside his car checking the engine
A good man died today. I hope there is someone who will pick up his cowl.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.
