Today’s guest blogger is fellow Tenner Dee Garretson!  Dee’s MG novel, Escape from Camp David, tells the story of the president’s son and two friends getting stuck in Camp David during a disaster.  With their bodyguards and secret service men suddenly out of the picture, the kids have to survive on their own and outwit the security systems meant to keep them inside.  It sounds thrilling!  You can read more about Dee and Escape from Camp David at her website.

1. If a pirate, a ninja, and Batman got in a fight, who do you think would win and why?

Batman, because nobody else has a batmobile, and he’s the only one who gets words superimposed over the fights. BAM! POW!

2. Who’s your favorite pirate/ninja (in history or fiction)?

Captain Blood, because he was dashing, could quote Horace, and was well-dressed. I don’t go for the rotten teeth kind of pirate. I’ve heard there is a movie remake in the works, but it will be space pirates this time.

3. Along that line, who’s your favorite movie Batman?

Christian Bale, but I also have great memories of the television series. I remember my friends and I brought bath towels to school so we could run around at recess and play Batman. For some reason I was always one of the Robins though.

4. What would be the best thing about being a pirate/ninja/Batman?

I would love to have a secret entrance to my house, and a bat phone.

5. Do you think there will ever be peace between pirates and ninjas? How do you think a truce would ever come about? Do you think Batman could negotiate the truce?

I’m not sure Batman could negotiate a truce, but I bet Alfred Pennyworth could.

6. How would you end said truce and get the feud rolling again and how would you deal with Batman if he tried to interfere?

I can’t answer this. I’m on Batman’s side.

7. If you tripped and fell into a radioactive vat of cutlasses and gold dubloons and emerged as a pirate-themed supervillain, what would your superpower be?

The ability to call up giant waves to get rid of pesky navy ships.

8. If you stumbled a little farther to the left and fell into a radioactive vat of throwing stars and nunchucks and emerged as a ninja-themed supervillain, what would your superpower be?

The ability to cling to ceilings and walls to improve stealth capabilities.

9. If you were a pirate/ninja/Batman and found yourself in love with the enemy (i.e. a ninja/pirate or, say, Catwoman), how would you handle your taboo relationship?

I’d convince them to become a pirate/ninja/Batperson too.

10. And finally, in the event of the Zombie-pocalypse, how would pirates/ninjas/Batman each survive?

I don’t believe a Zombie-pocalyspse would ever happen, because Zombies are too stupid to take over.
