Everyday heroes Chicano Batman bring psychedelic soul to The Foundry

The caped crusader in the name comes from a logo Martinez designed. "It was Batman with a muscle shirt, cutoff jeans, and a pencil mustache, as a UFW [United Farm Workers] fighter," says Arenas. "The return of the superhero to a human level.  It's about those people who work every day and put rice and beans on the table and make sure our kids go to school. That kind of everyday hero. That's the Chicano Batman."
