Batman Has Officially Outgrown His Most Famous Nickname
The Caped Crusader No More
Recent Updates to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
The Caped Crusader, a long-standing nickname for Batman, has been officially retired, according to the latest update to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. The term, which has been in use for decades, no longer accurately reflects the character's current portrayal in comics and films.
In the new edition of the dictionary, the Caped Crusader definition has been replaced with "Batman," reflecting the character's evolution from a costumed vigilante to a more complex and nuanced hero.
