This hilarious sketch shows why there should be a(nother) Welsh Batman

If there’s one thing Hollywood loves, it’s a Batman reboot – we’ve had dark Batman, followed by a succession of less-dark Batmans – Batmen? – and back to dark Batman again, with Christian Bale’s incarnation being particularly successful. Although he’s Welsh, it seems he isn’t Welsh enough for these hopefuls in a new sketch from BBC Sesh, the Welsh talent showcase.

Featuring Welsh comedians Simon Emanuel and Ignacio Lopez, this makes us wish someone would run with it and do a feature-length version, featuring Bruce Wynne as Batman, with his faithful sidekick, Rob Wynne.

The edited highlights of the script include:

“Isn’t it time we had a Welsh Batman?”
“Christian Bale’s Welsh.”
“Pembrokeshire doesn’t count.”

“Think about it. Gotham is a grim, Gothic metropolis, constantly dark and dreary …Newport!”
Bruce Wynne goes undercover to capture a ring of bicycle thieves.”

“So, what’s your superpower, then?”
“I’m fucking minted!”

“So, who we fightin’ today then, Batman?”
“A scientist is spiking all the ice-cream in Barry Island with too much sugar. It’s making the kids diabetic.”
“Oh no! Not Captain Cold!”
“No, it’s Dr. Freeze, you plum! Didn’t you read the comics I gave you?”

Anybody got Christopher Nolan’s phone number?
