:No.  This is correct as written.  I've argued it before, and I'll keep saying it:  some things ''own'' a name.  There is only one Batman.  The fact that there are also umpteen films and some people (Lord bless 'em) don't know the difference between The Batman and batsman doesn't change a thing.  Everything else is disambiguation, including a cluster just on the comics, maybe, someday.
