Actor-comedian Kumail Nanjiani tries using Batman to shame 'dudes who think masks are weak,' steps on rake instead

It’s not the end of the world to be asked to wear a mask. That said, some people just don’t want to wear one.

But if you’re trying to convince them that masks are the right way to go, don’t go the Kumail Nanjiani route:

Shout out to dudes who think masks are weak but that Batman is cool!

Um, Batman is cool. Unlike Kumail’s take.

This is perfection.?????https://t.co/WvLug76oHN

It’s really not, though.

Does.. Does he know what Batman looks like? https://t.co/CWJemUHvyE

We’re not sure he does.

Shout out to anyone who has seen a picture of Batman and sees a glaringly issue with this analysis

Batman's mask covers the opposite of what a breath mask would, genius.

But his mask doesnt cover his mouth

Batman wears a mask on every part of his face EXCEPT his nose and mouth

I had the same thought, Batman might be the worst example of a mask that would work for COVID ever.

Bane might be the better example here…

— Get out the vote! (@GoodDoc01) August 10, 2020

Whoops.

You should have used Spider-man as example

— Alexandre Rowe (@arrowe77) August 10, 2020

Better luck next time.

In any event:

poor analogy here, Kumail, and because of that you’re…
