They revealed that Batman could glide to a distance of about 350 meters if he were to jump from a building about 150 meters high.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216; The problem with the glide lies in his velocity as he reaches ground level,&#8217; the physicists wrote the conclusion of their research in the university\u2019s Journal of Special Physics Topics. &#8216; The velocity rises rapidly to a maximum of a little over 110 kilometers per hour. At these high speeds any impact would likely be fatal if not severely damaging &#8216; they revealed.<\/p>\n<h3>Batman The Dark Knight Rises gets standing ovation at special screening<\/h3>\n<p>Batman\u2019s wingspan, at 4.7 meters, is about half that of a hang glider. The scientists conclude that Batman should get a bigger cape, pack a parachute, or use propulsion jets to keep himself aloft or glide longer distances.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile The Dark Knight Rises won a standing ovation at a preview screening in the US earlier this week only merely a week prior to its grand opening across the world on 20th July. After watching the film, one anonymous blogger admitted shedding tears of &#8216; pure geeky uncontrollable happiness&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h4>The Dark Knight Rises Trailer : Watch Batman pursue his ambitions aloft, mobile or running<\/h4>\n[media id=540 width=610 height=340]\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f00;\">Error, group does not exist!
