Good question asked on blog. What is the collective noun for Batman? Batmen or Batmans ?

It doesn't matter. There is only one Batman.

There is no collective noun, because there is only one goddamn Batman.

There can be no collective noun for Batman- there is only one Batman! Obviously.

I believe it is "Batmen", as indicated by Batman, Inc. http://bit.ly/hQKIqv

If you see more than one batman you have more problems than just trying to find the plural.

fortunately you'll never have to ask that question about the Highlander because THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Is it not a proper noun? In which case it should be "Batmans".

I assume that would depend on whether Batman was *the* Batman or merely *a* Batman...

There is only one Batman! Seriously, apply same rule as you would to a group of namesakes. Would you say "Richard Wisemen"?

Casper2_normal @titchener I am here.

There can be only one Batman. Still, Google favors Batmen (Batmens <> Batmen's, silly Google!)

he is always referred as "the Batman" or "Batmans"

Cat_normal @pixie359

there's only one Batman, so the question doesn't make sense.
