Earlier this week, the University of Toledo announced the hiring of its new women’s soccer and his name is Mark Batman. The jokes and comments pretty much flowed from there.
It’s already been quite a week in college sports when it comes to unusual names, even before Batman.
The NIL world was already salivating at the names of two college football commitments: Dude Person and Rowdy Beers.
Dude Person will be headed to Central Arkansas University, while Rowdy Beers will be playing his college football at Florida International University.
It took about two seconds for a company to start thinking of endorsement deals for Dude.

Same went for Rowdy Beers…

But really… Batman? The guy’s name is Batman!
He can literally walk up to anyone on the planet and say with a straight face, “I’m Batman,” and he is telling the truth.
“Allow us to introduce our new head coach Mark Batman! We look forward to this new chapter and welcome to Toledo,” the school wrote in a introductory tweet.

Like I said, the jokes and comments pretty much flowed from there.

“Ok, it seems unfair that Toledo soccer has Batman as their coach, but you take whatever advantage you can in the MAC,” another person

“This is a TERRIBLE secret identity,”
They’ll hate him for it, but that’s the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice. https://t.co/sFGqHGEZ2z

“Hold up, there’s been a coach in American soccer named Batman this whole goddamn time and I’m only now finding out about it?” another fan
He is vengeance.

He is the night.
He is Coach Batman. https://t.co/xJhwYlKbnr
“Not sure if having the last name Batman would be awesome or totally annoying. Probably both,” someone else
Toledo is going to be good at women’s soccer with those unlimited resources.

“Because he’s the coach Toledo deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our coach. He’s Batman….”
