T-Rex: Bruce Swain, my legally and creatively distinct character, moves to New York City! And his parents get shot by criminals, so he decides to change his name and fight crime!

T-Rex: He decides he must become... Abe Atman!

T-Rex: And Abe Atman has a friend, Joe Kerr, only Joe falls at work one day and suffers brain damage. He's - well, he's criminally insane. Abe tries to help him, but Joe keeps getting worse, falling in with criminals like Pen Guinn (car theft) and the one and only Rita Lerr (computer espionage)!
Dromiceiomimus: Wait a minute... Pen Guinn? THE Rita Lerr?
T-Rex: MAY I REMIND YOU MY CHARACTERS ARE LEGALLY AND CREATIVELY DISTINCT??

Utahraptor: T-Rex, did you even try making up your own characters?
T-Rex: I did! Quite successfully, obvs!

Utahraptor: No, what you've done is convert Batman names into semi-plausible given names. Why not write a story where Batman goes undercover as "Abe Atman"? At least that would be more honest.
T-Rex: And the Riddler goes undercover as "Rita Lerr"! AND THEN THEY GO ON A DATE BY ACCIDENT! YES. THIS IS AMAZING.

Narrator: SOON: NOBODY WANTS TO BUY T-REX'S HOME-MADE COMICS:
T-Rex: Hey, God! Please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know why people would buy other comics when mine has the Riddler in drag in it??
