Yep, tagging stuff would totally convince geeks that Batman was real, because that's exactly what Batman would do. His crimefighting technique is very tag-based.
My first thought wasn't graffiti but tags used in web searches and key words. That the guy would put Batman as a related tag in everything he posts, blogs, etc so that when someone searches anything, they end up with articles mentioning Batman. Would certainly be more quickly noticed by geeks than spray painting on random buildings, bridges, etc.
Taggers...sheesh. Is there a lower form of life on the face of the Earth that considers itself the highest?

DeleteAw, SNAP YO. Did I hurt your butt? I'm sorry. Maybe you could spray paint "TITS" on an alleyway to validate yourself.

ReplyDeleteMaybe he's including himself in that. Y'know, like if he saw a Batman tag, he would freak out, even if he did it himself.
