To sign Batman, form your dominant hand into a '1' handshape with your index finger pointing straight up and your palm facing forward. Bring your hand to the side of your forehead, resting the side of your thumb or hand against your head. The upward-pointing index finger visually represents the pointy ear of Batman's iconic mask. You can hold it there briefly or give it a slight tap against your head.
To sign this, you would sign 'my', 'favorite', and 'superhero', and then finish by placing your upward-pointing index finger at the side of your forehead to sign Batman.
Establish the time by signing 'past night', then sign 'we', 'watch', 'movie', and finally use the '1' handshape on your forehead for Batman.
Start by signing Batman with your index finger at the side of your head, then sign 'car', 'cool', and 'drive' to explain what he is doing.

Yes, absolutely! While the video shows a one-handed version, many signers use both hands by placing an index finger on each side of the forehead to represent both ears of the mask. Both versions are correct.
No, the animal 'bat' uses a completely different sign. To sign the animal, you cross your arms over your chest and tap your shoulders with 'X' handshapes to represent wings. This index-finger sign is exclusively for the superhero.
You can do either! Holding the '1' handshape steadily against the side of your forehead is perfectly fine, but giving it a gentle double-tap against your head is also a very common and natural way to articulate the sign.
