of the Indiana Batmans

Overheard in the office, as I proofread some of the most boring crap I've ever looked at:
-- "Do you think this guy's friends give him shit? His name is Batman."
--"Batman? Like, Batman Batman?"
--"Yeah, Brent Batman."
--"Do you think it's pronounced different? Maybe it's pronounced like Bettman, or Batmen."
--"Hey, we can call and find out. Ask for Batman and see if he corrects me."
--"Better yet, I could report a crime and see if he springs into action."

So I'm now forced to add Brent Batman to the growing pantheon of silly names. He joins J.J. Putz, Mariners player, and Roger Schmuck, who played college baseball at ASU way back when. Congrats, Brent!
