"Alfred, I need my suit."
Bruce Wayne had been at fundraiser, listening to boring people talk about boring things, when he heard word of a break-out at Arkham. He quickly feigned drunkenness and not-so-subtly implied that he'd spent a night in a hot tub with the host's daughter. Once he picked himself up off the pavement, he had radioed Alfred.
"Very well, sir. I will have it dispatched by the Batwing immediately. Honing in on your coordinates."
5 minutes passed, and yet there was nothing.
"Alfred, remind me to check the Batwing when I get back to the cave," said Bruce. "It should have dropped off my suit 2 minutes ago from this distance."
"But sir," replied Alfred, "It did drop off your suit 2 minutes ago."
Bruce grimaced. "Well it didn't drop it off by me. Where did it drop it off then?"

For 27 long years, Tommy Naylor had been the world's personal shitter. Once a high school football star with dreams of one day playing for the Arkham Rogues, that had been dashed when his knee was wrecked in a car accident. Ever since his life had been one disappointment after another, capped off by his recent laying off from Ace Chemical. 26 years old, no job, no future, no girlfriend, no hope.
'Who the fuck works in a chemical plant anymore, anyway,' thought Tommy as he walked home from another night at the bar. 'Shit was dangerous. All those open vats. Why if anyone fell in one of those they'd-'
Tommy's thought was cut short by a loud bang right in front of him. He could barely make it out but his eye had caught something big and heavy landing from the sky above.
"...Hello?" Tommy asked the darkness. "Is there someone there?"
Tommy crept forward and inspected what had landed. He hoped to God it wasn't a body.
"What the... hey, is that the Batman logo?"
Tommy gradually realized that he was looking at a large, heavy package that had Batman's logo on it. Before he even realized what he was doing, Tommy quickly hoisted the package onto his back and hurried back to his apartment. 'Man, if this is any good maybe I can sell it for something.'
***
Sitting on his couch, drinking a beer, Tommy stared at the package. Finally gathering up the courage, he walked over and... stared at it some more.
'How the fuck do I open this thing?'
Tommy couldn't see any zippers. He ran his hands along the top and sides before finally finding a small button. Upon pressing it, the package burst to life. Tommy couldn't believe what he saw. Standing before him, in all its glory, was the Batsuit.
"Hooooooly shit," said Tommy aloud. He didn't know what to do. He was hoping for a couple batarangs, maybe one of those grappling hooks Batman used, but the entire suit? He couldn't sell this, not without someone finding out. He didn't think he could keep it, either. What if a supervillain found out about this? He'd be killed.
But at the same time, Tommy was incredibly excited. Batman had first appeared about 10 years before and ever since, Tommy had marveled at the stories that were told. Tommy was relatively in shape but Batman put him and everyone else to shame. Batman had even once saved Tommy's sister by foiling a robbery at her bank. Tommy had grilled his sister for every detail she could provide. Tommy dreamed of being Batman. And now, with this suit, he could be.
After a long while, Tommy figured, "What the Hell," and decided that he was going to try the suit on. What could it hurt? Besides, the suit seemed like it would fit him.
For about an hour, Tommy struggled with the heavy kevlar and thick leather that made up the suit. He had the most trouble putting the cowl on, finally just forcing it down on his head. He heard a sharp crack as he did so but thought nothing of it. Tommy looked in front of the mirror and couldn't help but smile.
"I look awesome!" Tommy suddenly struck a martial arts pose and karate chopped the air.
