Ted nods sincerely. "Sure. Don't take this the wrong way but I think you can pull it off. It's a full-body suit, plus there's a mask and goggles. Nobody will know it's you under it - the only important thing is that you're slim enough to fit inside it."
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Alex states, jabbing his finger at Selina Kyles breasts and buttocks.
Ted chuckles. "Alex, there isn't a woman alive who matches up to comic book proportions. You think Linda filled out those costumes all by herself? The costumes are foam padded and she wears a push-up bra underneath. Don't tell anyone, but she's barely even a B-cup. So are you in?"

"I said I'd consider it."
"No, I want a guarantee. If I do this, I get a permanent contract. Deal?"

"Okay, take your clothes off."
Alex gulps. Is it too late to back out now? Hesitantly he tugs his shirt over his head and kicks off his trousers, revealing his scrawny build. Ted nods approvingly...
