Those muscles look particularly chewy. Certainly, they would need slow, moist cooking, along the lines of BBQing, perhaps with a side dish of garlic-roasted potatoes, but what about the rest? ---

I would suggest deep frying in a light oil. The trick is to get the oil nice and hot first. You need to sear the skin to lock in the flavors. ---

Batman is way too old and muscled to taste good as steaks. I think a slow-cooked stew might work. With plenty of pepper to cover the flavor. Those cannibals would probably be happier with Robin, who is young and tender and could simply be cut into steaks and lightly grilled. ---

Lots of Tabasco. Maybe some leeks or scallions. No doubt a little sauterne wine and a pinch of salt. And some Lea & Perrins. (Check Justin Wilson’s recipe for alligator, throw out the alligator, and throw in Batman). ---

I’d say sliced about 1/2 inch thick and marinated in a citrus-papaya marinade overnight to tenderize the meat. Maybe even pound it a little first. Then grill and serve with applesauce or perhaps a mango salsa. Yummy. Anybody else hungry? ---
