per the "official" Web site, batmanning.org:
"At first glance these photos could look idiotic, foolish and extremely dangerous. However it is an extremely accomplished talent and makes planking look tedious and tiresome. Batmanning is set to become an art form within itself and will prove itself as more than just a passing craze, hopefully not losing credibility as planking did when celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey posted a picture of himself as a “plank”."



they are right...it really IS an "art form"!

I want to see after shots of all these batmanners so I can point and laugh at the ones who splat on their face trying to get down -- which is of course the older interwebb phenomenon known as "faceplanting."

Yes, because it's so original and something never done before, since really all it is is Rodin's The Thinker combined with a good old Jean Luc Picard facepalm.

One for the over-40 crowd.

I call it "Porching."

Think it will catch on amongst the kids?
