The Science of Batman (and a contest!!)



Did you ever wonder if batman's for real's?  Well he is, scientifically speaking.

The students at some overly bored college did an EXTREMELY important scientific research study to determine if Batman's cape could actually help him fly (glide? fall gracefully? You be the judge).  
Anyway what they determined is the thing has some pretty dag-gum amazing aerodynamical properties (that's science speak of course).  However, while the cape may be reliable to keep The Dark Knight airborne for a little while (over 1000 ft), it doesn't really get the job done when it comes time to landing - let's just say if the movie were to reflect the science, it would be a horror flick.  
You can see the whole story here:  

Batman could fly, but he'd die horribly on landing, science students conclude



And NOW.... for the contest: Post in the comments below -- share the best (from youtube) short video that includes Batman & Robin in order to win your movie ticket!
