This Google Maps photo of a swimming pool in Hinsdale emblazoned with the Batman logo on the pool floor has blown up around the interwebs the past couple days. The Hinsdale couple that owns the pool said they did so 20 years ago because their then-5-year-old son was obsessed with Batman.

Segue: WTTW aired Tim Burton's "Batman" Saturday night. That movie, like the logo in the pool, hold up well over two decades later.
