    If Batman wants so badly to be a bat, he might be more intriguing if (like Marvel’s Daredevil) he were also blind, like a Bat

        Okay so @neiltyson is downright trolling biologists on twitter. He's gotta know that bats have functional eyes. Right. Right? sigh.

        Reminds me of the time a bat researcher photocopied a bat to measure wing area. Let me tell you that bat was mighty blinky afterwards.

        If AntMan wanted to be like an ant, he should have never showered because ants only ever communicate with pheromones #TysonSpaceFacts

        Planets are blind too! They use gravitational waves to navigate through space--like bats using echolocation. #BiologistSpaceFacts @neiltyson

        Also, black holes absorb visible light from stars so THEY can see better in the darkness of space. #BiologistSpaceFacts @neiltyson

        Another little-known fact about black holes-they're Italian! (That's what #spaghettification means, right?) #BiologistSpaceFacts @neiltyson

        @neiltyson I think it would be more interesting if he screamed all the time to find people.

        @GlobalEcoGuy @neiltyson the larger bats, like fruit bats, for instance, see three times better than humans.
