Once upon a time some crazy dude suggested we all “render unto Ceasar” when it came to earthly matters, and that’s what we’ve been doing.

Night Fighter sounds like an off-brand superhero. “An evil super-robot is attacking the city! Quick, call Superman – oh, he’s busy? Call Batman! …on vacation in the Cayman Islands, huh?
