I always enjoyed the 1960s TV version of Batman and Robin. I watched
re-runs of it growing up in the 1970s. Robin would always say things
like:
'Holy Benedict Arnold---Suzie! Chief cheerleader, a member of The
Joker's criminal gang! '.
'Holy molars! Am I ever glad I take good care of my teeth!'

I enjoy re-purposing these quotes for java code, such as:

1. Holy if statements Batman

2. Holy jar files Batman - 92 in your lib directory'.

3. Holy <td> tags batman

4. Holy 'Copy and Paste' Batman

Any others someone would like to contribute?

Holy Type Cast Members Batman (thats a subtle one about actors.. get
it? :)

Holy Colossal Comments Batman

Holy Unhandled Exceptions Batman

Holy Jumping Javadoc Batman (that one's a bit silly)

ps. If anyone was wondering why I havn't been plaguing this group
lately, its because I was moving house.

* Holy frameworks Batman!
* Holy subtle behavior when two objects of the same class are not of
the same class because they were loaded by different class loaders
Batman!
* Holy nested exceptions Batman!

Some non-Java ones:

* Holy race condition Batman!
* Holy XML bloat Batman!

As Brian pointed out ... the context of Robin's exclamations are
critical.

(When using bitwise operators ...)
Holy Shift, Batman!

(And a non-Java one heard while the dynamic duo dined at a Mexican
restaurant ...)
Holy Mole, Batman!

Upon reading this thread, the boy wonder exclaimed:

Holy WeakReferenceS, Batman!
