In Season 2, Episode 20 of CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" (titled "The Hofstadter Isotope,") series protagonist Sheldon Cooper has the following exchange with another character.
>Sheldon: Well, I’ve spent the last three hours in an online debate in the DC Comics Batman chatroom, and I need your help.
>Stuart: Oh yeah. Those guys can be very stubborn. What’s the topic?
>Sheldon: I am asserting, in the event that Batman’s death proves permanent, that original Robin, Dick Grayson, is the logical successor to the Bat Cowl.
>Stuart: Ooh, Sheldon, I’m afraid you couldn’t be more wrong.
>Sheldon: More wrong? Wrong is an absolute state and not subject to gradation.
>Stuart: Of course it is. It’s a little wrong to say a tomato is a vegetable, it’s very wrong to say it’s a suspension bridge. But returning to the original issue, Dick Grayson became Nightwing, a superhero in his own right. Batman 2 has to be the second Robin, Jason Todd.
Now, I find this an interesting exchange for several reasons. This episode originally aired in April 2009, 4 years after Jason Todd had been ressurected as the antihero Red Hood, and the month before the events of Battle for the Cowl. Battle for the Cowl ends with Dick Grayson taking on the mantle of Batman as per Sheldon's theory, but Jason Todd indeed dors take up the mantle of Batman during the event, as Stuart predicted.
However, my problem with this is that Jason Todd had not shown himself to be worthy or even capable of taking on the mantle of Batman at any point prior to the Battle. His tenture as The Red Hood should have proven that the character was ill-suited for the role of Batman compared to Dick or Tim. While Stuart was technically correct, Jason only took up the mantle temporarily and lost it to Dick.
So I ask you: why did Stuart believe that Jason Todd would take on the role of Batman from Bruce Wayne?

Because edgyfags and tumblr landwhales liked Jason Todd because of the animated movie where he was voiced by that Supernatural fag.

Stuart is a twat who thinks succession rights is rooted in seniority. By his own logic, Dick should be Batman and Jason should be the new Nightwing
But really it's just a name drop for nerd cred "Oh hey nerds we know this character from the funny books"

But more importantly, how does Superman clean his uniform? And can werewolves swim?

Is Stuart edgy?

I've never seen this show. Why does the stuck up Stacey hang out with the nerds?

Because the writer read the second Robin's name of wikipedia. Either didnt know or didnt care about any Red Hood stuff.
