03.032012 – Consider Batman created somewhere outside in the United States and had become a global phenomenon. He would be a man in a cape running around rooftops and stopping crime, but his appearance would be based in one country’s culture shall we say the Philippines. The country known for white sand beaches and 7107 islands is not only made of mountains. It is a thriving mixed cultures influenced by countries such as Spain, Japan and the United States. So imagine Batman’s call signal looking differently design of a bat. He would be perching on top of Makati skyline preying those who would break the law.
