Chapter 225: Batman-y in a Social Gathering II
Anyways, Alexander was not here to have his life be paired with the iconic Bruce Wayne.
Since he was in a social gathering, he could just emulate some factors of the most recent fictional character that Old Sullivan paralleled to him.
It was rare to be tackled in any Batman media but there must be some inner calculations that Bruce Wayne does whenever he is in non-Batman situations.
Detectives are known to be profiling and non-powered heroes were known to be ultra-prepared and over-calculative for the plot's sake.
Since Batman is known as the world's greatest detective and the most plot-armored among non-powered heroes, he must have used his geared mind whenever he was at parties and Gotham whatnot.
Bruce suspects and is guarded towards everyone, so it must be interesting to experience that kind of thought process.
Alexander could try that sort of thing out but all in good experimentation though. Not for the nefarious-dealing reason... albeit it was a somewhat nefarious intent since it involved business.
He did have a secret identity and special mind as Bruce but he wanted to use it for a more business-y reason than vigilantism.
Ever since the Ishaan-like visualization quirk came up and the chaos tornados have stirred his Mind Palace, he had been experimenting a bit on it.
This was something he had done on Preparatory June and was a more intrinsic side project where he had made quite some progress on.
He could use it practically now in this film premiere as it was the best situation where he could practice being business Holmes and business Wayne.
This film premiere should have gathered a lot of notable that Alexander could go super-prepared and do some preliminary profiling on.
----
Sure enough, this premiere was the perfect spot!
As soon as he and Old Sullivan got out of the red carpet-y hallways, they arrived at a hall that housed all the mingling invitees and organizers.
BttF cast, BttF production crew, BttF premiere planners, Columbia Pictures representatives, Old Creed's film investors, celebrities, Hollywood elites, random invited guests, and there were even the Creed-knowing lady trio.
There were already seats ready for the main event but there was still enough time to socialize.
Alexander tagged along with Old Sullivan as he could but beneath his calm countenance and unbeknownst to everyone else... the boy's perspective on things was a lot more profile-y, organized, complex, and calculative.
-----
When Old Sullivan talked to the Columbia representative for premiere prospects, Alexander gave the man a preliminary profiling as Coca-Cola Lackey.
[Coca-Cola Lackey] floated on top of the Columbia representative's head. A situation similar to a game's name tag.
Coca-Cola Lackey was not the only one that had that treatment as every person that would come into Alexander's view would have the same treatment.
Many of them were blanks or people he consider as 'Random Guys' though, so their head-floating names were [Random Guy] or just [???].
When he drifted with Old Sullivan some more and gave his usual scripted greetings, the Batman-like and Game System-esque profiling became more and more practiced.
The more people he got to meet and recognized, the profiling became a bit redundant.
Profiling did not stop at designating names though as some of these named people were given succinct descriptions.
[Coca-Cola Lackey
- Lackey of Coca-Cola now
- Potentially Sony's lackey in the future
- Can Columbia be bought by Creed Pictures?]
[Milica Jovovich
- friend
- has an obvious crush on me
- Resident Evil franchise]
[Miss Galina
- hard surname
- babysitter
- chauffeur
- somewhat manipulative mom]
[Cocky Cox
- cocky about her prettiness
- likes expensive necklaces
- Bulma
- lower VA expenses
- a friend from FRIENDS]
Alexander has never really tried this trick before and he was just diversifying what he had been playing around with.
He had an enhanced mind for memory sifting and a bit of storage. It had helped him ever since the start of re-life, however, there were still things that he hadn't really exploited much.
His Mind Mansion was a middling version of the fictional Holmes and is said to be a sorting mechanism.
One must have a mental room in their mind where they can assign various room-y objects with what one wants. It is the source of Alexander's enhanced memory but it also had that kind of template to work on.
Of course, there was the visualization trick that allows Alexander to form some bits of imagery and blend them with what he sees. It wasn't much but it was a cool visual aid with the unwanted "acting" side effect.
His enhanced memory, visualization trick, and Mind Mansion have many wonders that he got to know and explore ever since the tornados.
With the current blast of inspiration from Batman and this crowded chance to try melding his three perks, it was quite a surprise to Alexander that it even had results.
Everything was not simple as it seems though but at least he could still play around with this discovery.
In this film premiere, there were a few notable people that he observed and profiled with Holmes and somewhat Batman methodology.
In any case, Alexander was having his bits of fun and business-like assessment and usage from it.
[James Cameron
- looking intently at grandfather
- must have cooperative intent
- Note Avatar and Titanic as Plunder list]

[Weird Shady Guy]->[Michael Eisner]
[Michael Eisner

- Plunder more Disney things for payback?]
Alexander could still riffle through with a lot of other people but he found it best to stop at that. His head was starting to ache a bit from doing this and he could already see the chaos miasma showing vestiges in his sight.
That was all he could do with this preliminary and impromptu testing but he was already quite satisfied nonetheless.
He also had already gotten enough gist on a lot of things and the people here, so he could just try and expound on it later.
Either way, Alexander's respect for Batman shot up a bit from simulating what the man was most likely doing all the time.
Being Batman-y in a social gathering was no easy feat at all as Alexander was sure that the requirements were pretty hard to come by.
------
Of course, the minor headache and the semi-achieving of his purpose was not the only one that stopped Alexander's Batman-y experiment.
The crowd mingling was put to a stop as the film screening was drawing close. As eventful this premiere was to people and even Alexander himself, the film was the priority to everything.
He could tone down on emulating Batman now as he, along with the invitees, was just looking forward to what Back to the Future had to offer!
Bruce Wayne must have partaken in such events as well.
In any case, the premiere's main event was finally close at hand.
