Alfred also refers to Bruce Wayne as Master Bruce, just once I'd like to catch him saying Master Bat...

You can say master Bateman… you can even say masturbate, man!

This isn’t the Christian Lemmy instance.

He also played John Rolfe in “The New World”, meaning he’s also been a boatman.

This is the kind of headline that editors love to come up with:

“From Bateman to Batman: Christian Bale’s Amazing Journey from childhood star to emotional powerhouse.”

But not Buttman, Biteman, Boatman, or Butteman?
