Batman Turns to VOIP Phones

Batman takes a call from Catwoman and plays nervously with the cord

Batman has lept in to the 21st century by replacing his old rotary bat phone with sparkling new VOIP phones.  Purists will be happy to note that the caped crusader has insisted the VOIP phones are finished in hot red with the Batman logo emblazoned on the hand set.

When asked what took him so long to upgrade the retro phones he has had since the sixties Bruce Wayne, who apparently know Batman quite well, said “I, er, he quite liked them and to be honest I get called out by the ol’ Batman search light that everyone mistakes for an advert for a gothic nightclub.  And yes, I didn’t mean ‘I’ just then, of course I meant Batman.”

The VOIP phones are rumoured to be a special edition manufactured esclusivley by Logitech for the super hero and his VOIP provider is assumed to be Skype.  Band of Slugs has searched the Skype directory for Batman but could only find the Green Lantern, Hawkman and three entries for the Flash.  The old Batphones will be sold to DirectLine for use in their advertisements.

Purists note that the person who wrote this entry has never seen the Batman TV show.

The Batphone did NOT have a rotary dial. It had no dial. Calls from Wayne to Gordon or Gordon to Wayne were made by just picking up the phone’s handse which initiated automatic “hot line” dialing.

He’s right. I never watched the show. Not once!
