Dad bod Batman drawn by an 11-year-old girl is the hero this city needs

Batman just got a huge makeover

If you’ve ever wondered what a middle-aged Batman with a dad bod might look like, this young artist has got you covered.

Reddit user, knittymcknitpants uploaded some photos of her 11-year-old daughter's wonderful Batman drawings Monday, much to the delight of everyone who saw them.

They feature Batman lounging around a beach wearing suspenders, a cape and the hero’s iconic mask. He looks like he's having fun.

User knittymcknitpants also uploaded a video showing her daughter working on the masterpieces, to prove to a cynical Reddit that this deal is real.

Within the reddit comments she explained that her daughter began working on the drawings after watching a sculptor fail at creating a Batman statue. She also said that her daughter calls him "B-money." Which is pretty great.

“The artist tried to sculpt Batman but he kept coming out looking all wrong and she said, ‘He looks like middl-aged Batman’ to which my daughter replied, ‘No, I'll show you middle-aged Batman’ and started sketching. And thus these drawings were born,” wrote knittymcknitpants.

The reddit user also added that her daughter would like to work for Disney in the future but right now her focus is on B-Money.

We believe that she'll get there, with or without the Dark Knight's help.
