A three-panel comic titled "Batman vs. Programming." Panel 1: A bald, bearded man in a blue shirt holds a tablet and tells a shadowy figure in a dark room, "You forgot to put parentheses after main." Panel 2: Against a red background, a batarang strikes the bearded man in the forehead with a burst of impact; he reels back. Panel 3: A close-up of Batman's snarling, teeth-bared face in shadow as he growls, "I have no parens" — a pun on the orphan-superhero trope "I have no parents." Votey aftercomic: Captioned "Also...," a black-and-white sketch shows another character telling Batman, "Batman, you're off by one," and Batman replying, "I'm off by two."
