According to Science, Batman Should Have Plummeted to His Death Already

Apparently.

None

Just another example of why science ruins everything: Apparently, a group of killjoy nerds at the University of Leicester across the pond have determined that if in reality Batman had attempted to glide from building to building with the use of his cape as he's prone to do often, he would have plummeted to his death and promptly died. 

The group of killjoy nerds wrote an article all about it, which is published here in the University of Leicester's paper if you're at all interested in reading it and ruining your day and/or childhood.

In it, the killjoy nerds explain that, as Batman's cape is 15 feet, it would allow him to travel 350 metres (ugh, metric system) if he jumped off a 150 metre building. Then he would fall to the ground at about 50 miles per hour and die.

Yeah, well...

Fuck you too, science.
