"Come on, Robin, to the Bat Cave! There's not a moment to lose!" - Batman

After my return to Jakarta, I became immersed in my work and haven't had much that I could post. However, I do visit the malls of Jakarta on a regular basis where I walk to get exercise. I can walk miles in these malls in air conditioned comfort where I'm protected from the rain and lightening and can sip an iced coffee from the ever-present Starbucks while I'm doing it (no sugar). What's not to like? It gets me out of my apartment and out among the folks. For the past several months, I've been walking in the mall nearest me and I've posted photos of this mall and the things I see around it in previous postings; but, yesterday I walked in a mall farther away and much larger. They were having a Batman promotion to celebrate 75 years of Batman and lo and behold, he even showed up along with Catwoman...! Many in the audience were coming up to have their photo taken with these two Superheros. I didn't know that Batman could speak Indonesian, but he's fluent and his pronunciation is perfect...! Amazing..! Anyway, I took some photos of the event. I saw people all over the mall carrying Batman bags full of stuff. I would guess that it was a very successful event. Anyway, it made me happy. I'm grateful to see others being successful and I'm always made happy to see Indonesia developing a middle class.
