Batman's acceptance speech.
Tonight, the city of Gotham is hosting its first annual Gotham Night Workers Awards.
Police officers, hospital staff, firefighters, taxi drivers, and security guards have all gathered in a large downtown theater to celebrate the people who work while the rest of the city sleeps.
The final award of the evening is the most mysterious one:
“Best Night Worker.”
The audience becomes quiet as the presenter opens the envelope.
“For his courage, dedication, and extremely unhealthy sleep schedule…
the award goes to… Batman.”
Suddenly, the lights go dark. A few people in the audience scream.
Then the famous Bat-Signal appears above the stage.
Moments later, Batman slowly walks to the microphone, looking serious and slightly uncomfortable in formal shoes.
The audience applauds loudly as Batman begins his speech.
