late entry
Probably also warrants an explanation - 30 years ago, when I was a small boy, there was a shaggy dog story/joke that was strangely popular : in essence, boy meets girl, girl takes boy home, girl ties boy to bed, man in batman suit jumps out of wardrobe and vigorously bots boy. 'Batman' was therefore the worst insult possible. The merest mention of the name still gives me playground giggles - the whole Dark Knight/Tim Burton revival was a minefield of strangled laughs and spurted drinks.
As is traditional, sorry for length.

Canterbury
first heard it in 1974, when I moved to a new primary and was asked if I was "the Batman".
