Comic Transcripts

Bruce Wayne: The city is being overrun by criminals, Alfred. I have the power to make a difference.

Alfred: Indeed, Master Bruce. It’s so wonderful of you to wish to bring your considerable wealth and resources to bear on such a vital issue. A principled public stance will surely impress the importance of the matter onto your colleagues in the business world.

Alfred: Plus, of course, the plain fact that you are one of the cleverest men I have ever known. I’m sure you will make great strides in tackling this social ill. Will you go so far as to involve yourself in city government? Or perhaps set up an early childhood education program in poverty-stricken neighborhoods?

Bruce Wayne: I want to dress in a bat costume and punch individual muggers. Wait! No!
Alfred: Haha, sir, I was about to say–
Bruce Wayne: First I have to build a weird car.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
