Holy chlorination, Batman!

A Hinsdale couple was surprised and a little weirded out to learn Monday that their Batman-themed backyard swimming pool was suddenly drawing a lot of online attention.

Titled " Wayne Manor, Illinois," the post was the second-most-viewed Sunday on Gizmodo. The blog apparently reposted an image highlighted on virtualglobetrotting.com, a site whose users compile interesting or unusual images captured by Google Maps
