Batman City, Batman District, Batman Province lies on the Batman River and if you took part in the Erasmus student exchange program you could even go to Batman University!

I have questions as to the 'communicable' definition...

There is an argument that Titanic's maiden voyage only ends when it arrives in New York.

There is an argument that Titanic's maiden voyage only ends when it arrives in New York. 

As long as it continues to exit, you are existentially correct! 

[Last Hussar]

There is an argument that Titanic's maiden voyage only ends when it arrives in New York. 

Yes, There is.
It's a stupid argument, but it's an argument.

A stupid, stupid argument...

Also White Line stopped paying crew when it sunk, so there's a hell of a back pay claim.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]
