“In a city where evil has a pretty late bedtime,” Fred Allen wheezed in his best chain-smoker movie announcer voice, “there is only one man who can put it to sleep!”

“I am the bat that comes swinging in the night, or perhaps it comes fluttering! You can’t really know with homonyms unless you have some contextual clues. Hey, that’s pretty good! I am the unknown homonym! Am I the bat, or am I the bat? Both! I am the Batboy!”
