The Bat versus Krakos
Oh yes, he may be on holiday but a tour of Europe seemed to be a good idea. A rest from the constant attempts to kill him. So Krakos's loyal servant Ahmed bought tickets to a nice quiet old style country called the Grand Duchy of Stahl.
What could possibly go wrong?
Keep an eye open for any Bat-like monarchs.
It'll be fun. 😏
In case you need the hint; in 2010 I promised William A. Ward's The Bat versus Krakos the Angel of the Burning Death and guess what? I intend to make it happen and work is already in the planning stages even though the story has been in my head for over 15 years.
Now so long as I do not get Covid part 3 2024 ought to be interesting.
