The issue of concussion in Batman&#8217;s career is something I addressed in Becoming Batman. In examining the scientific possibility of a human training to achieve the pinnacle of physical skill of comic book icon Batman, I reckoned him having a pretty short career. The main thing to shorten Batman&#8217;s career would be his accumulation of injuries, with concussion figuring prominently.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/medicine\">medicine<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/comics\">comics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/x-change\">x-change<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/sports\">sports<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/advice\/2009\/12\/02\/sies\">Career Advice: Be Prepared &#8211; Inside Higher Ed<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;This is a list of job interview questions I compiled when I was applying for college or university positions in American studies, history, and architectural history.
