Enter the mind of a grade-school student whose reputation depends on coming up with proof that he has, in fact, experienced a first-hand Batman sighting. Then, an average Gothamite cannot rely on the myth of Batman to save his beloved. And finally, a bum tells a teenaged gangster-wannabe how "The Bat" brought him down from the "top of the world" and destroyed his life as a member of Gotham's elite underworld.

Short (but brilliant) story of a small man named Mr Perrin being held to ransom. Batman accidentally crosses his path and saves the day... but with a very humorous twist to the end.
