I Sat in the Batmobile

I sat in the Batmobile! In case you missed it, the Batmobile made a stop in Hinsdale, Illinois. But I was impressed by more than the car itself. In an age of high crime and low trust, the dynamic duo simply left the Batmobile right on the street. Neither Commissioner James Gordon nor the Gotham Chief of Police was on hand to guard the iconic vehicle. What was it like to sit in the Batmobile, you ask? Impressive, frankly. From the bubbled Plexiglas windshield to the dash-mounted Detect-A-Scope, I was lost in the lore of Gotham City. I grabbed the Bat Phone (see photo), desperately hoping to speak with the Caped Crusader. But it was not to be. How I wish Batman and Robin had shown up. How I wish they would show up now! Isn't that what this world needs —a superhero? We need someone ferociously fearless, unfailingly fair, and consistently courageous. We need someone who is genuinely humble—not one who merely pretends to be. And is it too much to ask that our Hero be kind to the core? And here we leave the pages of DC Comics to ponder the ultimate Hero. No Bat Phone for this champion. He has better: uninterrupted communication with His Father. Don’t look for a cape. But He did wear a crown—made of thorns. Don’t look for Him in the Batmobile. You’ll see Him next on a white horse. Given Covid-19, the election, the hurricanes, and national unrest, I don’t think Jesus can come soon enough! Amen?
