Wuuuut n duu heeeeelllll r u talking about?

[1995akcoop]

i think they're all corny, especially the Kermit

[Furbo]

Batman is such a looser, rich guy who thinks a mask and hoarse voice will make him unrecognizable.. can't understand what could he possibly have that would connect him to BLNR...

[themaninblack]

The OP is right. Silly nickname but I think all of the nicknames are pointless.

[dennywags]

I've got one on my wrist right now.

I'm not too worried about what anyone calls it.

[DPE]

Batman sounds good to me, the black/blue and a hero. Also has a smile, and story to tell. Better than BLNR, whats the story behind that one ?

There are such things as healthy obsessions (which we all have with Rolex) and unhealthy ones in which we nitpick over ridiculous aspects of the brand.

Childish keeps me young.....hurry pull my finger

[NukeMan]

I just call it the watch to others known as the Batman.

Those colors earned the watch the name.....just like the hulk.

My AD even calls them hulk and batman.

It is all in good fun and easy to remember!

[jbshaffer]

....I'm thinking "Black Lightning"

[AmbSteve]

I thought that was a bruiser, due to the black and blue

It annoys me that people are annoyed by this

[Andad]

I agree.

Batman is almost as annoying as posters WHO PUT UP PIX SIDEWAYS.

[WWC]

Batman! How can we not have this nickname when we have the great battle between Hulk vs. Batman haha

B-L-N-R.

It's easy.

Ultimately, what the watch is called will be determined by popular usage.

Certainly, ADs are in a better position to influence popular usage than we are.

[Roll the Lex]

I like "the tick", you know after the superhero... hahaha
Or how about blue marvel?

[Danex]

I'd call it "GMT II Bleu Noir"
Or by the reference number,116710 BLNR
Why call it anything else?

[michel33]

As I posted elsewhere, I'm afraid the nickname is now carved in stone....

Nicknames are not my thing also.

[jbshaffer]

Black Lightning (bottom row, second from left) and Batman (top row, second from right) are Justice league buddies...perhaps the Buddy watch would be appropriate?

[Lime]

Batman

[boost2perfection]

Batman is an awesome character. It's all preference I'll always call it the Batman.

[Jake B]

I like to call it "The Steve McQueen GMT" .

[skprd13]

Why not just call it blackeye then! LOL!!!!!
