Dodge College Denies Batman’s Existence

by the Local Supervillain

When the students arrived to what was advertised as the long awaited “The Dark Knight” screening at Dodge College’s Folino Theater, the administration decided to have a surprise intervention for Chapman Batfans. Instead of proceeding to play the film as promised, the Dean of the Film School decided to give an extremely controversial speech, “After the recent incident of students ‘jokerizing’ the bust of Albert Schweitzer, we’d like to make an announcement that Batman is, in fact, not real, and Gotham is a city in a fictional universe. Why is this so serious? You treat this movie as if it’s real… You should simply ‘Believe in Harvey Dent’ the same way you say that you believe in the tooth fairy; as a work of fiction.” The outrage of this surprise intervention led to the students storming out of the theater. The next morning the Albert Schweitzer bust had been found jokerized again.

Further detective work by The Daily Chapman staff revealed an interesting dark secret about the film school and it’s relationship with the beloved nation-wide hero Batman. An undisclosed faculty member of Dodge College shed some light on the issue, “Don’t let them fool you, Batman is real, Dodge college paid a mysterious somebody to catch him and bring him here… but like a lot of the extremely cool things at Dodge that your tuition helps pay for, only the graduate students get to see Batman. Too many professors praised Batman’s most recent endeavors, and Dodge needed a sort of damage control to curb the possibility of somebody uncovering this, so they told you he wasn’t real.”

Is Dodge College keeping Batman prisoner? Are they denying his existence so they seem innocent? Will an undergraduate student ever get to meet half the faculty advertised at working at Dodge? Is the Joker behind this all? Find out next time on THE DAILY BATMAN Issue #472!
