## Resource

This week the boys are tasked with the almost impossible task of attempting to be Batman on the cheap. The biggest hurdle? Not being strong, clever, smart, handsome or good looking. Those are the things that are really going to hamper your boys. We do not know how to make things non-lethal nor do we know how to find information about the seedy underbelly of a city. And even if we did, what are we going to do with that?! Listen in as three adult men realise they are well past their prime to learn how to fight, would be beaten by teens and would lose a handsome competition to a dog.
