Then it all came back -- especially the interchange between Gordon and Bats in Gordon's office. What was the commish smoking in the pipe of his to think that a padlock could keep Batman out????!!!<br /><br />Great fun.<br />Father DanDaniel Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152198947419055272noreply@blogger.com
