so, if we put sunscreen on and then go swimming in sunlight the sunscreen turns into poison?

Sunscreen chemical breaks down into toxic compounds when exposed to sun and water.

June 27 (UPI) -- New research suggest a common sunscreen chemical breaks down into toxic compounds when exposed to sun and water.

The oil-soluble compound avobenzone is prized for its ability to absorb ultraviolet light. It's commonly used in sunscreen and other cosmetics, including lip balms and moisturizers. The UV-filtering compound converts ultraviolet rays into safer wavelengths that don't damage the skin, effectively turning ultraviolet energy into thermal energy.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the use of avobenzone, a derivative of dibenzoylmethane, in commercial cosmetics in 1988. Nearly 30 years later, new research out of Russia suggests the compound could expose wearers to toxic chemicals.

In lab tests, researchers showed avobenzone breaks down into potentially dangerous chemicals when exposed to sunlight in a water solution -- a scenario that plays out poolside on the skin of millions of people every summer day.

When exposed to light in a chlorinated water solution, avobenzone broke down into a combination of aromatic acids, aldehydes, phenols and acetyl benzenes, several of which are highly toxic.

That's why I use the Batman suncreen

Doesn't surprise me in the least. This is why I only use sunscreens that are mineral based: zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.

The drawback to these is that they sort of turn you white - and can leave a residue on stuff. Cerave makes one that isn't too bad, though.

Batman never shows any skin! then again maybe he applies it around his mouth?

thanks for the tip about the mineral based and Cerave! good to know

A. Don't go swimming
B. But if you do, don't worry. I've never heard of anyone dying from sunscreen poisoning
C. After two days at the beach this weekend, I'll be switching to suntan LOTION in my quest to safely turn brown

You're right! That's probably an empty tube!

That's true, too! But won't people get suspicious if they see Bruce Wayne using a Batman product?

honestly i never even saw the mask as an effective disguise. you can always tell it's him. so yeah combined with that the use of a range of Batman items would raise suspicion imo

If we've learned nothing else today, we've learned that you CANNOT box The Batman into a corner.
