(Courtesy Greatest Hockey Legends)Hockey is a theme in the North American version of Batman in this 1975 comic. It was titled Murder Masquerade! (Batman #268, October 1975) and features Batman and Robin fighting their enemies on the ice and using hockey sticks. Of course, its got some great hockey-puns too. (Courtesy Batman-Online)Batmans adventures on the ice did not end there. This time hes laying out some serious cross-checks in another serious battle. The quality of this pic may not be great, however its clear that Robin is impressed with Batmans goal scoring skills. (Via HeyLandsberg Instagram)In The MoviesIn the cinema Batmans popularity has reached new levels. The Dark Knight series in particular has created fandom beyond what the character has ever seen.Certain lines from the movies have become cult classics. For example this one from Christian Bales Batman after he encounters some Batman imposters. One of them asks "Whats the difference between you and me??" Batmans response has become legendary. A less popular Batman and Robin also took to the ice in 1997 as they battled Arnold Schwarzeneggers Mr. Freeze. In the scene, George Clooneys Batman and Chris ODonnels Robin are surrounded by a bunch of Freezes Goons on Ice.They are skating around the duo and attacking them with sticks. This prompts Robin to describe them as the "Hockey Team From Hell". Perhaps more incredible is a scene where the Crime Fighters click their heels in unison and reveal their boots have skate blades on them. Take a look at the whole thing here:In Real LifePeople dressing up as Batman is common. Many people love to dawn the mask or cape in real life to embody the essence of the famous crime fighter. Wed even like to imagine one NHL coach in particular who would look great with a Batman maskYoull see dress up Batman in many different hockey scenerios. For example a YouTube Batman and a bunch of other superheroes taking part in a great street hockey game from a few years ago.Steve Ott wore a Batman cape to six flags recently. Evgeni Malkin donned a bat Cape with a mini Dark Knight on his Instagram feedSpeaking of the "Penguins", goalie Ken Wregget wore a mask featuring one of Batmans famous enemies in 1995.

SAN DIEGO -- On Saturday afternoon, Cory Spangenberg couldnt wait to share the news that he was joining the San Diego Padres in a September promotion. So he did what 23-year-olds do. He tweeted, "cant believe my childhood dream has come true! want to thank my family friends and all the support from the .570!" Problem is, the Padres like to make such announcements. "We had a discussion about that yesterday," old-school manager Bud Black said. Its all good now. Spangenberg had a two-run single for his first big league hit and made two nice plays at third base to help Tyson Ross and the Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 on Monday. "It was a good day in the big leagues. I think his parents were here, some relatives were here and maybe a few people from the 570 were here," Black said, referring to the area code for Spangenbergs hometown of Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. Spangenberg, the teams first-round pick in the 2011 draft, had his contract selected from Double-A San Antonio and started at third base. He came up with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth inning and singled to right off reliever Eury De La Rosa for a 3-0 lead. "He got me down 0-2 but I was just looking for a pitch up in the zone a little bit that I could put the bat on the ball and he just happened to leave a slider a little bit up and I got enough of it to find a hole," he said. Spangenberg is the third player in Padres history to have multiple RBIs in his big league debut. His parents, two brothers and sister were at the game. "Its just nice to share this moment with them because theyve put in as much time and effort with this as I did," Spangenberg said. So alls well in the 570? "Theres unbelievable support there and they have my back all the way. Im just thankful for them," he said. Ross (13-12) pitched six strong innings, allowing one run and six hits while striking out eight and walking two. It was his 14th straight start of going six or more innings and allowing six or fewer hits. He is 7-6 with a 1.93 ERA in that stretch. A fifth-inning comebacker by Didi Gregorius hit off Ross glove but he threw out the runner. He tweaked his left knee on the play, which he and the training staff didnt realize until later. After Ross allowed a leadoff single by David Peralta in the sixth, manager Bud Black and a trainer came out to check on the tall rigght-hander.dddddddddddd Black left Ross in the game. He allowed two more singles, including an RBI hit by Miguel Montero, before striking out the side. "I felt at that point he was our best pitcher," Black said. Ross said the mound visit "gave me a chance to refocus and get back to execution." Striking out the side came from "just grinding it out, really," he said. "I just minimized. Thats kind of the focus, First and third, no outs, just trying to minimize. Rene (Rivera) called some good pitches and worked his butt off back there. It was a good inning." Kevin Quackenbush struck out the side in the ninth for his second save in three chances. Arizonas Trevor Cahill (3-10) went only four-plus innings, allowing three runs and five hits while walking six and striking out five. "He walked six guys. Thats way too many in four innings," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He wiggled out of it the best he could." PADRES MOVES The Padres also promoted LHP Robbie Erlin and RHP Leonel Campos from Triple-A El Paso. Erlin made his big league debut with San Diego in 2013. Campos will make his big league debut the first time he pitches. WALK THIS WAY Rivera drew four walks for the Padres, including two intentional. He is the 30th player in franchise history to do so and the first since Chase Headley on July 30, 2012. Rivera was the ninth player and first catcher in team history to not register an at-bat despite making four or more plate appearances in a game. TRAINERS ROOM Arizona: The Diamondbacks reinstated OF Cody Ross (strained left calf) from the 15-day disabled list and RHP Daniel Hudson (reconstructive elbow surgery) from the 60-day DL. Hudson likely will work in relief. He hasnt pitched for Arizona since June 26, 2012, when he tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow against the Braves. San Diego: The Padres transferred 1B Yonder Alonso (right wrist surgery) and LF Carlos Quentin (bone bruise, left knee) to the 60-day DL to make room on the 40-man roster for Spangenberg and Campos. UP NEXT Arizona: Wade Miley (7-10, 4.30 ERA) has no record and a 3.86 ERA in two starts vs. San Diego this year. He is 1-6 with a 4.96 ERA in 11 career starts against the Padres. San Diego: Odrisamer Despaigne (3-5, 2.54 ERA) is 1-1 against Diamondbacks this year, including a 5-1 loss at Arizona on Aug. 22. ' ' '
