Batman begins... to break

Batman was the best example of humanity, with all of the strength, intellect and will of a Man who has harshly trained to be the best. Still, he was a mortal human male. Even the most solid steel blade will eventually chip, bend and break if it is used too hard.

Batman collapsed as his mind blanked out with the pleasures, pain and fear that had been racing through his body. The stress had finally began to weaken him, bending him close to the breaking point. So he shut down.

"So know what? If we let up now, he might get his strength and will back." Harley said, as she looked at her fellows.

"I have something that might help us. It's a device that I stole from a tech firm. It was a virtual education device that was used to subliminally train soldiers while they slept. All we have to do is enter the programming and hook it up. Then we can teach Bruce how to be a good little boy. Or at least our kind of boy!" Catwoman said, as she moved to collect the device from where she had hidden it. Soon a VR type helmut was apparent. "It even has pain and pleasure reactors that can be used to train the user's responces."

They girls smiled at the idea and hurried to hook it up.
