I have a question. Is this thing adjustable? Could you smash someone in it the way villians would try to smash Batman and other do gooders?

Yes, but you would have to be very fast, especially if you were
trying to smash Batman. It might be better to start not on
Batman, a true crime fighter, but on someone who merely deplores
the latest developments.
The next adjustment will be to introduce some flare.
That might make it feel less like getting squished and more like
getting squeezed into a high velocity airborne trajectory, as
when a watermelon seed is shot from between the fingertips (well,
one of them would actually be a thumb-tip, but I'm sure you get
the idea.)

I wasn't thinking of smashing Batman. I was thinking of smashing EEE-ONK-EEE for what can be described as "fun".

my guess is that Grug would float scuffy's woodie with no problem...
...these cracks move on geologic time scales, just like the real things

I think that while Eeyonkee might merely deplore the situation
brought about by tinkerers with a hedonistic short-term world
view, he would in fact be "stuck" inside this device for such a
brief moment that he might be perceived as so Batman-like as to
render the point moot.
However, there's no telling what some people may consider FUN.

Next time Scuffy, Lee was illin' and I suffered a wreck on a single track in Wilder. We just got back from a leisurely day on the East Buttress of El Cap!!
That sucker's looking good though, like the anchor steam lubricant by the base!!

Yeah, caught, I knew you'd be hurtin,' I commented on many of the bleed throughs, then you did all those laps ...
Davidchi, I can only assume that, your GA has a plumber's helper, when you take 'the plunge'.
