'Batmanning' Is the New, More Dangerous Planking

"Batmanning" joins planking, horsemaning, and stocking as the newest silly trend that will irritate everyone. It looks especially dangerous, though. What if they fall on their heads?

Also, is this not definitely viral marketing by Warner Brothers? And also, they're making t-shirts? Memes are big business these days.

The Batmanners are a group of Purdue students with plenty of time on their hands and 153 Twitter followers. They've already been featured on Good Morning America and, oh, what a world.
