Richard B, you've officially stumped everyone I think. But I've narrowed it down to 2999 possible fish.

That was a pretty good guess as well! I'm not too fond of taxonomists using this kind of flippant pop-culture naming to be honest (looking it up it i indeed named after batman)- I remember someone named a new mudskipper genus Zappa after Frank Zappa!
