Yes, the Dark Knight has has actually entered the world of professional wrestling. However, it wasn’t Christopher Nolan’s gritty version of the character, or Tim Burton’s fantastical take, or even Zack Snyder's emo version, we got Batman ‘66 with Adam West. BAM!

In CWA Memphis, Batman stopped by the arena for an interview, because he heard that Mr. Freeze and The Penguin were in town. He came in his trademark mask, and an old jogging suit he looked to have procured from a dumpster. His explanation was that he was undercover, despite just revealing his plans to catch the two Gotham criminals on television. The world’s greatest detective can be kind of an idiot sometime.

Jerry Lawler then came out in a Superman inspired costume to confront Batman, most likely because that's how he dresses in his free time anyway. Bats tried his best to convert The King to the good side, but it didn’t work. Unfortunately, Batman gave up on that idea soon, as he had a car convention to go to, which was rumored to be the plot line for the fourth Nolan film.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
