Honestly, I had no clue that such a thing exists! As a result, I googled.
老实说，我之前并不知道还有这东西，所以，我个 Google 了一下。
Lo and behold!
瞧！

Batman equation

The batman curve is a piecewise curve in the shape of the logo of the Batman superhero originally posted on reddit on Jul. 28, 2011. It can be written as two functions, one for the upper part and the other for the lower part.
蝙蝠侠曲线是由分段曲线构成的蝙蝠侠 logo 形状的曲线，最初于2011年7月28日发表于 reddit。它由两个函数组成，一个函数组成上部，另一个组成下部。

As to who created it?
至于是谁写的？

We just have to figure out i_luv_ur_mom's Math teacher. The teacher is really cool, by the way.
我们只需要找到 i_luv_ur_mom 的数学老师。另外，这老师太帅了。

Or identify him from the signature. I can only figure out "Mathew"!!!
或者通过他的签名辨认。我只能看清 "Mathew"！！！

然后大神现身说法

J. Matthew Register：

I wrote it many, many years ago. I was teaching at a few art schools throughout the greater Sacramento area, and I used it to engage my students in the topic of graphing. One of my coolest students (Mr. Wilkinson aka i_luv_ur_mom) posted it to Reddit back in 2011 and it went viral. These days, I'm a full time professor over at American River College, doing every thing I can to make math as enjoyable as possible.
这是我很多很多年前写的。我当时在萨克拉门托地区的一些艺术学校教书，我用这个来提高学生对绘表的兴趣。在2011年，我某个出色的学生（威尔金森先生也就是 i_luv_ur_mom ）把它发表在了 reddit 上，于是它就火了。现在我是一个全职教授任职于美国河流学院，并竭尽所能地让数学更加有趣。
