Batman

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The Brothers Chaps have made many references over the years to the famous comic book enterprise Batman, or at least the campy television show version of it. They've professed in one of the DVD commentaries that they'd love to see the original Batman TV series released on DVD. This page lists some of the Homestarverse's more batty references.
