Descending Upon Gotham / Batman [TM] / As he swoops down from the dark heights of Gotham City, / Batman cuts an impressive and ominous figure that starkly / declares "Bad guys, beware." After losing his parents at the / hands of a violent mugger, young Bruce Wayne dedicated / himself to the cause of protecting the city from the crooks / who threaten its safety and peace. With unwavering deter- / mination, he patrols the streets and rooftops seeking justice / for the wronged, security for the innocent, and retribution / for the wicked. In the light of day and in the cold dark of / night, he remains ever vigilant, because crime doesn't rest, / so neither can Batman. / Anita Marra Rogers / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / For decorative use only. / Concu a des fins decoratives seulement. / handcrafted - dated 2009
