Batman tries to convince the 99% that the 1% aren't THAT bad -- (Video)

Chew on this; while you sleep soundly in your bed each night Batman is out there fighting crime on your behalf. But what happens when those same people turn their backs on Bruce Wayne, the moonlighting, playboy millionaire whose rich-boy antics make him public enemy number one? Well, as Occupy Wall Street continues to go strong, nobody seems to give any thought on just how this might affect Gotham City.

We’ve seen things like this before, but in photograph form. This is the first time we’ve seen a really great 360 degree video you can actually control, and man oh man is it beautiful.
