Warning! Spoilers for Batman Urban Legends #17 by DC Comics
In the comics, Batman just made one of Aquaman's lamest moves look cooler than ever before, as he rides an ocean creature in style. In Batman Urban Legends #17 by DC Comics, the Dark Knight helps the Kingdom of Atlantis after they seek out his help upon discovering Joker-ized fish. By the issue's end, Batman makes a grand exit from the underwater city by riding atop a killer whale, showing that riding on top of ocean life can be cool.

So now, Batman is doing what the King of Atlantis was made fun of, but making it cool.
