Scudder is sent out as part of a trademark enforcement force in NYC, but doesn’t last. The conclusion errs towards subtlety — why he quits isn’t exactly why he *says* he quits.

Block reads the story himself...good to hear him, but man he sounds his age.

Succinct, but *too* subtle

We love Batman. We love everything about Batman. This is sort of about Batman, but more about fake Batman merchandise and scaring the immigrant street vendors that sell the stuff. About a few minutes in we just could not get into it and it didn't seem worth our time.

So bad even 30 minutes more was too long

It did felve into the worlt of corruption in law enforcement, wich is good in any story. Overall it was lacklustre, and should have been read my a professional voice actor

Decent story....
