↓ TranscriptCAPTION: "Hello, I’m Mildred Inksplat--sexy scholar of comic book wisdom! I'm here today to discuss Batman’s most famous utterance: “Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot!”*
MILDRED: What did Batman really mean by that? My research shows that Most criminals are... men! So obviously batman is saying......men are more likely to be cowardly, superstitious and dishonest than women! Oh, No! Does that offend you? I’m sincerely sorry! And do you know why? Because I’m a woman, you clod! I’m considerate! I care! if I was a man I'd never be this %$#@ sensitive!
