Batman Invented Blindness

Now see, this is why I am more of a Marvel fan than DC because my impression of DC is that they do all sorts of silly.  Hell, after learning about the latest addition to the Bat Family, I wait with baited breath for KM to release Bat Cow.
Anyway, the reason why I bring up this silliness is my fondness for ScrewAttack's Death Battle series.  I may have featured them before.  Or a run down of Batman's various depictions on YouTube.  Screw Attack has launched a new series in which they call the Desk of Death Battle.  The premise is that a lot of research is completed to be able to honestly analyze each of the contestants before being put forth into the Death Battle.  With research being so exhausting, they sometimes come across facts so bizarre that they felt compelled to share.  Hence the Desk of Death Battle, which happens to feature Batman in it's first story as the inventor of blindness.
With such a serious face, I'm sure you couldn't help but want to know how the hell that was possible.  Hell, I was incredulous about the entire premise; however, there's a Wikipedia page.  Epigenetics, the study of many different things but one of which is chemicals changing DNA or adaptation, is a real thing.

So KM... How about them Bat Cow, hmm?  Battle Bovine? The stats write themselves with Big and Stupid.  Bat Cow has got to have Def 3, as most Big guys have 3 Defense.  While I don't think Bat Cow could use a Bat-Claw, I think Batcape seems fair.  I'd think at least 3 Attack makes sense, after all, check out Bat Cow's ability to vanquish foes in this tense action scene.  With the Bat Cow's ability to make police show up, I think it would be safe to give Arrest to Bat Cow.
What's the silliest Batman trivia you've ever come across?  For me, it's a toss up between Batman's Yellow Suit so he could defeat the Green Lantern as the Green Lantern's weakness is the colour yellow and... Well, Bat Cow.
