- 1: The robots are Sentinels. }->
- 2: Batman's 'multifoe' combat style works better against bots than his
- one-on-one style, since they don't expect to be attacked by each other (which
- is what he maneuvers them into doing).
- 3: He didn't know Bullock was a robot and was already tired when he faced the
- woman one-on-one. These factors would hinder his ability to fight effectively.
- He was fresh and facing known bots other times.

- Oh, I forgot to mention it yesterday, but on TTA they make a snide comment
- about BTAS. The floppy Bassett hound had escaped from Elmyra and was living
- with, what for lack of better idea or judgement I will call "this babe." This
- babe is walking the dog and they encounter Elmyra. The dog hides behind the
- babe's legs while she asks Elmyra what's wrong. Elmyra responds that she lost
- ehr doggy-woggy. The babe pulls out the dog and asks if that was her dog. The
- dog quickly puts on a Batman mask as a disguise, and Elmyra says, "No, my dog
- was better drawn." A bit of rivalry, no?
