Optional Secondary Objective: Legendary Legends of Batman (of Legend)
In keeping with my tradition of having the worst secondary objectives...
Before I started writing "for real" a couple years ago, I wrote a series of piss take fan fiction stories for a random message board that I eventually collated into a single volume and called The Legendary Legends of Batman (of Legend.)
They are terrible, I disavow them completely, but I did have a lot of fun writing them. Plus it's my birthday, so why the hell not. So let's do something in the vein of those! Write a story about Batman!
I cannot overemphasize how optional the optional secondary objective is this week. I may not even do it myself, who knows?
