Find the batboy!n.
A British military officer's orderly.
In Midsummer Star, the butler was Colonel Baylis' former batman.
Of course, in American-English, Batman is a caped crusader, avenging the death of his parents through acts of vigilantism. Since the Baylis butler possesses super hero talents like...er...accepting gratuities for carrying luggage...then I suppose he might be a kissing-cousin to Batman.
Also close is the term 'batboy', used to refer to a baseball team's young guardian of bats. (As in: M.C. Hammer was a one time bat boy for the Oakland A's.) I wonder if Old Barney would be willing to wear parachute pants?

I wonder what a British batman would wear? Hooded cape? Skin-tight britches to show off his well muscled legs? And his weapon of choice? A good stiff riding crop. Hie-Ho!
