Kick Ass and Batman

Bruce Wayne was just just an ordinary teenager living in Gotham City.  He wasn't the class jock or the class geek, but he was a comic book fan.  Inspired by Kick-Ass, a comic book series and movie about an ordinary kid who puts on a costume and fights crime, Bruce decides to become the world's first real life superhero.  He chooses to model his new identity on a bat after one of the creatures flies into his bedroom through an open window and scares him half to death.  Creating his costume from a wetsuit and an old Halloween costume, Bruce is soon getting his ass kicked by a gang of street thugs.  When asked by a witness what his name is, a dazed and concussed Bruce mumbles the first thing that comes into his head and unfortunately for him the name sticks.  Before long, BAT-ASS is an internet sensation, with a Youtube video of his battle with the thugs going viral and a MySpace page acting as a 'Bat-Signal' for people who need his help.  However, BAT-ASS soon begins to attract the attention of the vigilantes BIG ALFIE and HIT-BIRD and also a certain crime boss who fancies himself a comedian.....


The Kick-Ass images are from Kick-Ass #1-3 (2008) and are by John Romita JR and Tom Palmer.  Joker's smile is from Punisher/Batman: Deadly Knights (1994) and is by John Romita JR and Klaus Janson.  The Bat costume bits are from Realworlds:Batman (2000) and is by Marshall Rogers.

  5. If you like Kick-Ass, you may like my new humorous nonfiction book "I, Superhero!!" It's available now, but if you'd like to get the first 1 1/2 chapters completely free, write me at whitebread@theamazingwhitebread.com and I'll send you a PDF of the first 40 pages or so.

    (I won't add your email to a mailing list, share it, sell it, or otherwise use it for any purpose but sending you the free sample chapters.)
