All in the Wording

Wishes can be tricky. On the surface, it seems easy enough: a child wants to be Batman. But when the team took that wish literally, they followed through with the full origin story. Cue the trauma, training, and tragic backstory. That’s dedication.

This cartoon is a hilarious (and slightly dark) reminder that how we phrase our desires really matters. It's all fun and games until someone finds themselves orphaned in an alleyway holding a utility belt. Sure, this was all in jest—but it gets you thinking: maybe next time, we all need to be a little more specific with our dreams. Because sometimes, getting exactly what you wished for comes with more than just a costume.
