Here you go.

The patriarchy don't respect the matriarchy unless in the presence of the batriarchy. Got it.

isnt it just thay you're more likely to notice someone dressed up, and the people around them whilst staring at your phone, instead of never looking up because the pregnant woman has normal trousers

Was it because of morality associated with a superhero? Batman specifically? Or was it just because normally people mind their own business and avoid looking around and qualifying one another until an unmissable weirdo is in their presence and they keep looking and only then notice the pregnant woman?

Batman takes the metro after a long night fighting crime. His feet hurt. He just wants to sit for a few minutes. Why is no one offering Batman a seat?

Probably because people are often too distracted, something that takes attention like someone wearing a Batman costume, would bring people attention to their surroundings

passangers looked up because they noticed the guy in the weird costume and then realized the pregnant woman which otherwise wouldn't have.

A while ago, I also heard of a study, where they had kids do a task until the kids would give up. And when they let the kids dress up as their favorite superhero, the kids would persevere much longer.

Obviously, the kids being in a better mood can be a factor, but if I remember correctly, it was also a conclusion that the kids persevered, because they thought the superhero would persevere in this situation.
You can probably tell quite well, when their mood falls off a cliff, but they still push on, so could certainly see that being a conclusion...

Was it because they were dressed as Batman or because everyone assumed it was being videoed and didnt want to be recorded and uploaded as a stupid prank.

When people think they are being watched and recorded, they are more likely to polite. Dont need someone dressed as a superhero to do that part.

I actually had to look for this to see if it's true, it was, but for some reason the article blurred their faces

Wonder what specifically about Batman causes that? Would the same thing happen with Superman? Wonder Woman? Punisher? Would it happen with a child dressed as Batman?

they were all just trying to get away from the wierdo dressed as batman

The number of people actually asking questions in here on Lemmy makes me happy. If I could, I'd give all of y'all each a cookie.

Pregnancy bumps are lower...

Just gotta say thats an extremely unconvincing pregnant woman

The effect, for listeners who might not know, refers to the children's character "the Bat-Man" a strong gentleman who fights crime nocturnally

"sorry, I would give you my seat, but Batman's here and I want to skew the data"

Were they also testing people's reactions to triplets?

It's a shame they only tested with Batman. I think there was a study about how people behaved more honestly in the presence of authority figures (even if just a photo of police is displayed).

I'd like to see the results if they dressed like Spongebob

Let me get this straight, you think that your fellow traveller, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world, is openly a vigilante, who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and your plan is to refuse offering a seat? Good luck.
