Batman did originally have a hyphen, but it was dropped. Forget about it. The hyphen is dead.

Now we need r/RespectTheHyphenless for when people say "Bat-Man, Super-Man, Aqua-man, Fire-Storm, Dead-Pool, Wolver-ine, etc."

I will. I swear it on my life. (No, that wasn't overdramatic. I think it's perfectly appropriate for the situation.)

They took it from Spider-Man and gave it to Batman.

Diabolical. Why can't these people remember Spider-Man's hyphen, but instead remember one that's not even in use anymore? It makes no sense!

Is Bruce (the gargoyle) still around at least?

Y'know what? I, too, am disturbed by the lack of gargoyles in modern architecture.
