The hero Gotham needs…?
Look, I can explain. I saw this picture of a guy in a fur collar, and I thought it totally…nah. You know what, I can’t explain. It’s a superhero. You don’t want to know his superpower. But bear in mind, I’m ending all arguments from here on with POW! Mangina!
Have you ever thought how incredibly American the superhero is? Oh, the idea of a morally upright man with supernatural powers who solves problems extra-judicially — that one’s pretty much universal.
But only in America could we come up with a way to enjoy nudity without all those icky, unAmerican genitals and nipples and pubes and such.
Well, except this guy. Obviously.

Hrm, good point, McGoo. We should try to not make a list of sidekick names like:
Nancy Boy
Tongue Bath
Swallow
Stealth Roger
Bender
Therapist
Bearded Clam
Red Snapper
because, I’m sure that will traumatise someone.

Nice polysyndeton. Missed the final and, though. Or is that the Oxford and? Rhetoric is hard.

polysyndeton: using several conjunctions in close succession, especially where some might be omitted (as in `he ran and jumped and laughed for joy’)
Thank you, Gordon. Fixed.
