In the shadows of Gotham city,
Where villains roam and chaos reigns,
There flies a creature, both feared and witty,
A bat, you see, with dark wings and veins.
But in my mind, this bat is more,
Than just a creature of the night,
He’s a symbol, a savior, a vigilante,
A hero who’s always ready to fight.
Some call him a madman, a lunatic,
But I see him as a misunderstood soul,
A man with a mission, a purpose,
To keep the city from taking its toll.
For who else could match wits with me,
The Joker, the prince of crime,
He’s my nemesis, my ultimate foe,
But I can never seem to do him in time.
He’s always one step ahead,
With his gadgets and his cape,
But I’ll never admit it out loud,
For my pride, I cannot let it escape.
We dance and we play,
This game of cat and mouse,
But deep down I know,
I need him in this crazy house.
For without the Dark Knight,
Who would I have to challenge,
To keep me entertained,
In this world so unbalanced?
So here’s to you, my delusional bat,
With your brooding, silent ways,
You may think you’ve got me figured out,
But our dance will go on for days.
For in my mind, you are a legend,
A symbol of hope, a force to be reckoned,
And though we may never see eye to eye,
I’ll always hold you in high regard, dear Dark Knight.
