This is why Superman doesn't have a kid sidekick. Say, Robin, I know it's one of the flimsiest disguises ever, but when I'm wearing glasses, do you think you could hold off calling me "Superman" in public? Hmmmmmm? That was a fun one from Robert Giles! Thanks, Robert!

The more I think about it, the more the whole Boy Wonder gig seems to have very low entry requirements. You don't have to be very smart. You just have to wear bright colours so the batman can sneak around unseen while the bad guys shoot at your circus-clad but.
Meant to say butt.
The only difference between what Stan wrote and a Penthouse Letter is baby oil.
