NEW YORK — A New Jersey man applying for a job on Wall Street admitted to being nervous going into a job interview at investment banking firm Morgan Stanley and was reportedly holding out hope that the interviewer would ask him how much he knows about Batman.

Paul Woodworth, a former employee at nearby Goldman Sachs, had been unemployed for 7 months leading up to the interview and was counting on his knowledge of Batman to help set him apart from the other candidates.

"I know they'll be really impressed if they ask," he said. "Because I know a lot about Batman."

According to a survey of job recruiters, while it's not hard to find people qualified for a job, the difficulty lies in finding a good fit for your existing team. Studies have shown that managers report significant trouble with finding team players, making Woodworth confident that his understanding of Batman's extensive teamwork with Robin and Batgirl would give him the edge he needs.

"I can name every villain in Batman's rogue gallery, and, believe me, it's quite extensive," Woodworth was heard telling other candidates in a waiting room before the interview. "You've got to know these things if you want to show people you're serious about landing the job. It'll pay off big time once they ask me about."

At publishing time, it was revealed that Woodworth did not get the job because the interviewer was really more of a Superman fan.
