THE DYNAMIC DUO

63

By Wayne Brown

By: Wayne Brown


Young Robin’s not wearing his green tights tonight


Batman is in coveralls; not expecting a fight


The Commissioner is lying in sleep so sublime


The back alleys are crawling with criminal slime



The Ol’ Joker lurks about ready with witty humor


A giant explosion in Gotham would be a real boomer


He plots and he plans with all his henchmen in tow


To lure the Caped Crusader into a trap don’t you know?



Riddler is out there posing his ponderous query


But if you figure the answers, there’s no need for worry


He’ll leave his questionable clues all in places behind him


In the hope that the Dynamic Duo will soon find them



The Penguin is a waddler with a full criminal strain


All dressed in his tuxedo, top hat, and cane


He’ll quack like a duck when his feathers get a ruffle


He lives to tangle with the Duo in a crime scene scuffle



Two-Face tries but really can never hide his hideous face


Obsessed with erasing the Dynamic Duo from time and space


He plays his criminal intent with the passion of his obsessions


Posed at the ready to teach Batman & Robin a lesson



Alfred sounds the alarm; there is a Bat Phone emergency


The Bat Signal illuminates the sky signaling the urgency


Quick Robin! Grab you tights and get to the Bat Cave


Put on your crime fighter belt; we’ve got Gotham to save



The criminals are all out together in their full force intent


Telling the Commissioner that he must now relent


Gotham will be theirs and a home to the nature of crime


But wait! What of the Dynamic Duo this time?



The Bat-Mobile rounds the corner with tires a-squeal


Robin is riding shotgun and Batman is at the wheel


The Riddler has posed a query in the sky it still floats


Robin solves the mystery….quickly to the Bat Boat!



The Commissioner and The Chief, they are hostages both


Held by the likes of all these criminal sloth


It’s the Dynamic Duo once again to enter the fight


And save Gotham’s leaders on this criminal night



The thugs are holed up at the lighthouse by the shore


They are demanding a ransom; a million dollars or more


Hold back the money and the hostages are toast


Don’t doubt our words, we’re serious, they boast



The Bat Boat slinks to the shore in the dark


Robin eyeing the Bat Scope for a good place to park


The Duo lights on the docks quiet as a mouse


Then climb the Bat Ropes to the top of the lighthouse



Batman and Robin drop in unannounced from above


With fisticuffs flying, the criminals they shove


Whack! Blam! Zap! And some upper cuts with style


Soon all the criminals are heaped into a pile



The hostages are freed and the ransom is not paid


The Duo has undermined the plot that was laid


And Gotham City’s finest celebrate until daylight


As the Duo drives the Bat Car off into the night



Back at the cave, Alfred awaits their stealthy return


With cookies and milk, and butter freshly churned


The crime suits will be hung back up in the cave


Until the call comes again to run out and save



Robin has showered and laundered his tights


Batman turns in and bids all a good night


Alfred will lock the doors and off to bed he will go


Another magnificent night for the Dynamic Duo!

@Binaya.Ghimire...I always loved the old television version that was done so "tongue-in-cheek" with Adam West in the role of Batman. WB

@Dim Flaxenwick...Thank you for the kind words.WB

@The Frog Princess...Thanks, Donna....Glad you liked it and had fun with it. Barbara says "Hi!" back at ya! WB

I try to use Whack! Blam! Zap! from Batman to teach onomatopoeia (words whose sound is imitative of the sound of the noise or action designated), but the kids only know the movie version of Batman and not the TV show where those words filled the screen during fighting. Kids these days! Ha!

Hey -- What about BatWoman? Didn't she help the boys a time or two? (and of course CatWoman too)

@Truckstop Sally...Boy am I ever perceptive...as I was publishing this today I thought to myself..."Amy's gonna want to know what happen to the Catwoman" Maybe I'll write another poem called "Shacked Up With Batman!" LOL! WB

Ha! Reading my mind - a little scary - huh? You didn't exactly call Catwoman a tramp. So, thanks for that! You know - behind every great man . . . is a supportive (or smart or beautiful or generous . . . take your pick or all) woman.

@American Romance...AR,I just upload my thoughts on the latest budget ceiling compromise. Of course it is not whether we have been duped but how badly...Stimulus Package #2 is now a reality. WB

Adam West was the best as Batman back in the day,

Rnbin was happy to help him in every which way.

The criminals quivered

They shook and they shivered.

Let's clean up DC with the Duo - what do you say?

Wayne Brown profile image

Wayne Brown Hub Author 9 months ago

@drbj...Yes Robin, duh I mean Doc...he was indeed. I loved his pregnant pause of seriousness when they were confronted with a problem. I also loved Robin's pose with his hand-capped fisted glove. They were the perfect men in tights. WB

First I want to say that because of hubpages notification system, I have missed so much of your writing! I am so sorry. I wrote to them so I hope they fix the problem. Now I want to say that I love this poem. Send Batman to Washington to take on the Super Congress!!!

@breakfastpop...I don't go very long without an inspiration Poppy. Based on my traffic, I'd say that is true with a lot of folks I hear from. I don't see their traffic either...Democrats must be in charge! LOL! WB

Fun read my friend, I loved watching Batman as a kid and all the movies that were made over time, so many of them were great. Adam West was my t.v. hero as Batman for sure. I also liked Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet to. Great video added here, gave it extra impact for sure.

Wayne Brown profile image

Wayne Brown Hub Author 9 months ago

@breakfastpop...Yeah, they demonitized one of my hubs for referring to her "collagen injected lips"...of course I didn't fix it! LOL! WB

@saddlerider1...Definitely, Adam West was the man when it came to Batman...Kapow! WB

Becky 9 months ago

I still like Adam West's old show better than the newer Batman movies. They were so darn campy they were hysterical. Of course, I was only 10 or so when they were new and we just loved to play Batman.

Wayne Brown profile image

Wayne Brown Hub Author 9 months ago

@Becky...Yes, that series did Batman in a "tongue-in-cheek" fashion humorously portraying Batman's more intellectual moments but somehow holding on to control on the rest of the story. I also loved the "Zap" and "Kapow" which flew up on the screen as B & R fought the thugs in stripes with lone ranger masks over their eyes...what a hoot! WB
