#246 Bike Batman
Bike Batman was just an average guy in Seattle who liked to ride bicycles. There was nothing about him that made you think he would be a vigilante who would face off against criminals armed with a smartphone, and the cops on speed dial. But you know, sometimes, the purpose just finds you. The guy showed no crime-fighting predilection, whatsoever—but sometimes…it's a calling, ya know? Some people were born to wear the cape.
