Sick of dodging bullets at peaceful protests, the monks of Burma are seeking shelter under the steel wings of legendary superhero Batfink.
Many of the holy men are even looking at ways to invest their own scarlet robes with similar protective capabilities.
Batfink has also volunteered to lend the forces of democratic unrest his special Batillac, which is equipped with a thermo-nuclear plutonium insulated blast shield.
Monk 56a told reporters that if they had all had bulletproof robes then they would surely have triumphed against the evil military junta.
'Sadly I do not have wings of steel, I have only skin and bone which are all too easily pierced by tiny bits of metal travelling at high velocity.
'Some of my brothers wore two robes as extra protection but it was not enough.
'And everyone knows that flavoured robes are absolutely useless when it comes to the job in hand.'
At a press conference to declare his entrance into the fray, Batfink told the Burmese government: 'Your bullets cannot harm me - my wings are like a shield of steel!'
