Description

Charlie Duffy, a young “special needs” man who has a life-long obsession with Batman. He watched the campy 1960s show faithfully and seriously, and played “Batman” with a neighborhood girl until she grew older and lost interest. In the story’s present, he sleeps in a small apartment crammed with Batman paraphernalia and counts down the days to the release of the 1989 Tim Burton film.
His landlord and caretaker is Mike, a retired firefighter. Charlie helps Mike perform routine maintenance around the old building, and also works full-time making deliveries for a local grocery store. He carries his goods by bicycle, usually humming the Batman theme and imagining he’s out to rescue Chief O’Hara or strike a truce with Catwoman. DC gives us a somewhat softened view of New York City’s East Village, but it's not entirely implausible. The cast of neighborhood characters with whom Charlie interacts have been depicted realistically, but affectionately. Even a group of tough local kids who tease our intellectually-limited protagonist aren’t all bad; they’re capable of feeling shame when Charlie’s boss calls them on their behavior.The days count down to the Batman movie. Then by chance, Charlie sees Clarissa.Years ago, she had been Robin to his Batman, and shared his lively fantasy world. As she grew older she found the games grew tiresome, and her parents disliked that she played with a “retard.” She stopped associating with him, and when she was twelve, her family moved away.Charlie grew up, in a fashion. He still fantasizes he’s Batman, but he holds down a job. Clarissa also grew up, but her reality grew more brutal, and less responsible. Charlie sees her engaging in petty theft, and we soon learn that she associates with a loose group of low-rate drug dealers and thugs.Charlie becomes convinced that “Robin” has turned bad, and that she must be rescued from “the Joker.” Of course, his attempts to interfere in the manner of his idol prove disastrous, and nearly get him killed. Costumed superheroes don’t quite cut it in the real world.

This page features the the Realworld Batman on his way to rescue his Robin.
