Here, allow science to ruin Batman for you
Having not ruined anything in a while, science has stepped up to inform you that the seemingly indestructible, impossibly advanced technology-wielding superhero known as Batman performs feats that are somewhat less than factually accurate, just in case you were enjoying them with your ignorance. The Telegraph reports on a group of University of Leicester students who recently published a paper called "Trajectory Of A Falling Batman," in which they calculated that the 15-foot wingspan of Batman's cape would allow him to glide from the top of a 492-foot building for about 1148 feet, but that his velocity would then increase to around 50 mph as he tried to land, likely leaving him "a bit splattered." In their very scientific, killjoy opinion, they concluded that Batman needs a much wider cape, or should consider taking a parachute to counteract all the stupid, boring laws of physics.
