How does Batman pee?

Last night I stumbled upon a hilarious conversation on imdb.com, discussing the methodology of Batman's urination ..:-) My favorite:

"I think Batman is very territorial...the way dogs, cats and bears are. Perhaps there is a zipper in the Barsuit and he wizzes in certain areas (alleys, rooftops etc) to mark his territory?"

If you don't have anything better to do :) and want to find out how Batman pees, try to start researching how BAT pees. I don't know, maybe Batman is like Spiderman who was bitten by a spider a had som spider DNA transferred to his veins. But more probably, Batman is just a stupid guy in costume that things that cloaks and horns on head are still in. It does work on babes, however; at least Nicole Kidman as a Cat Woman ended in his "bed" (I wonder if they were doing it hanging upside down!). Please don't start investigating how Cat Woman pees, menstruate or things like that.

But this is actually interesting a bit:
"Vampire bats are totally unable to utilize any other source of food than blood. In fact they have such fast metabolisms that they will starve to death in as little as 48 hours! Their throats are too narrow to permit the passage of any kind of solid food and their stomachs are shaped like a zig zag tube in order to maximize it's holding capacity. Blood makes an ideal food (when one thinks about it, blood nourishes every cell in the body) in all ways but one, it is very high in water, so in order to obtain enough nourishment from it, a Vampire bat has the most efficient kidneys in the entire animal kingdom.

Vampire bats actually start to urinate right there as they feed upon an animal! After feeding they are often so bloated with concentrated blood that they can scarcely even fly. Actually the amount of blood taken by a single Vampire bat is quite small, amounting to about a mere teaspoon. However due to the continuing action of the bats anti coagulant saliva it can continue to ooze for a while resulting in a long streak often down the side of an animal. This can certainly startle a farmer!"
