Genre Shorties Week 137: The Dark Knight Saga Never Told

The Dark Knight Saga Never Told

Deep within the recesses of Wayne manor (in the kitchens to be precise) lurks the ultimate weapon in the arsenal of the Dark Knight, that Caped Crusader, the Batman. What is this fearsome weapon you ask? Well it is...

Carrots.

Yes, everyday this orange vegetable of goodness is prepared by Alfred and served to Batman for lunch, giving our superhero his vitamins (carrots are chock full of Vitamins A, E and K). Besides everybody knows carrots are good for the eyes and with hunting criminals at night, Batman requires great eyesight.

So the next time you think Batman, think Carrots.

The Prompt:

Here's some famous pairings ~

peas and carrots
stars and stripes
oil and water
Laverne and Shirley
peanut butter and jelly
needle and thread
cake and ice cream
potatoes and gravy
Abbott and Costello
shoes and socks
Batman and Robin

I want you to take the first word of one of those lines and the second word from another line

-- "peas and water" or "shoes and jelly" --

... and write up to 100 words on how well they go together. Or don't go together at all!

C'mon, you can do it. You slayed the "What happened to Thursday?" prompt, didn't you? Yes! Yes, you did!

Your story may be serious or lighthearted or as silly as you like so long as it is 100 or  fewer words.
