I mean, you can see Acme Squirt Gun Engineering guy saying, "Well, Batman is very popular with kids, and we can make any mould to fit around the basic mechanism, so..."
And Acme Squirt Gun Marketing guy saying "Run with it!" without doing any, well, product tests. "What does this look like to you?"
And then, after a run of squirt guns go out the door and into the hands of the public, one day, the phone rings, and it's Acme Squirt Gun manager, who has just been confronted by one of the Grandmothers at his church.
Production ceases, shortly after, and the item becomes a collector's darling.
And ASG Engineering and ASG Marketing have troubled sleep for a few years after.
Or so it goes in my head, anyway.
@KyleL @ChippySuave I never approved of this!
You may wish to have a word with the Acme Squirt Gun manufacturers...

....I'm sure there's a kid-friendly reason...but for the life of me I have no idea what that might be. I wonder how long that was in production?
