Ludicrous. Batman trains harder than any superhero, Marvel or DC, and I don't see him secreting batarangs from glands in his armpits.

Then again, he is awfully stealthy...

So the difference between species has nothing to do with DNA? I guess that's conceivable. Now you just have to explain how organisms' genetic material adapts itself to reflect those organisms' traits. While you're at it, explain how objects always manage to position themselves between their shadows and the light sources that cast those shadows.

Let's see, if you keep your lungs at all, and you use those initially for separating oxygen from water, you would need some big-ass lungs, since they aren't made for taking oxygen from H2O. Then you'd have to overcome shock. And salt in oceans. And aren't fish cold-blooded? So many details, so little time.

I think Elijah's bizzah, perhaps with a little choke-chain around his pizzah to make it grow, as he said. Damn, the shit people come up with.

Right, but if he just got some more sunlight I'm sure he'd start mutating in all kinds of ways.
