Because some wine are maked up like The Joker…
Because Batman is a wine enlightened…
This is the explaination of their rivalry… and the make-up of the wine !!!
Originally, Batman, a simple Gotahm City’s well-of, was happy to spend his money to enjoy pleasures of life…as wine ! Ausone, Yquem, Haut-Brion, Chassagne-Montrachet, … his impressive cellar should melt the ice from Pingouin ! But one day, invited by the beautiful Catwoman, the party turns to a disaster:
Flirting with Robin, he gets to know Robert Parker. Informed man and expert of the Bacchus’ drink, Bob proposes to him a glass of red wine. Batman is horrified;
– “What’s that ?!?
– Bob: A small wine-grower from Napa Valley, named The Joker.
– Batman: But we have to stop him: he is a wine criminal !
– Bob: Why ? He succeeds to make this wine thanks to new oak casks, which develop some new aromas, after the wine ageing.
– Batman: Some aromas not really natural ! Taste it Robin, it looks like a plantation of vanilla !
– Bob: It’s a new wine style !
-Batman: It’s rather an artifice of the vinification or the ageing that something natural !
– Bob: Don’t be angry Batman…
– Batman: I already fought Mr. Freeze to stop him to add sugar in his ice-cream, then I don’t want to let a so-call Joker make up wines !
– Bob: You know, this kind of wine, it’s fancy ! Double-face joined me about this wine…
– Batman: The day when he will stop to turn around ! Already in 1927 , the “Revue des vins de France” talked of Grand Chambertin 1911 like a paint wine, so I don’t want that happens again and start to soft-soap the wine !
– Bob: By the way, about make-up, you won’t be disappointed with The Joker…
– Batman: Worst that Catwoman ???
– Bob: We can say that the character is the image of his wine…
From there, the rivalry was born between Batman and The Joker: a bitter conflict against this kind of wine with rough artificial aromas, to hide the natural weakness of the quality and to make-up its or paint its !
