So, Batman is real.

No, really. He’s not just a legend. He’s not just the central figure of your favorite superhero movies and comic books. He’s an actual, flesh-and-blood, motorcycle-riding man of mystery in the very real world — and there are pictures to prove it.

Over the weekend, Twitter user @snsd_mumin uploaded a series of photos featuring Batman riding a motorcycle on a highway in Japan. There’s really nothing more to say, other than, well, here’s a picture of Batman riding a motorcycle on a highway in Japan:

See? Batman exists, he rides motorcycles on highways in Japan, and it’s great fun for everyone. So if you ever find yourself in Japan, keep your eyes on the road, and look for a man dressed like a bat. You might be surprised at what you find.

Have you taken notice of Jhene Aiko yet? Have you heard her breakout hit “The Worst”? Did you catch her on tour with Drake? Did you see her perform on “Saturday Night Live”?

The answer to all of those questions, hopefully, is yes. But if it’s not, have no fear. It’s actually the perfect time to get familiar with this budding talent.

She’s been buzzing for some time now, but things are about to fully take off. With big features and impressive projects already on her resume, the California native is about to launch herself to the next level with her debut album. Take notice.

1.) Who she is:

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Aiko has been working on music for over a decade. In fact, she secured her first record deal when she was only a teenager. She even prepared a debut album around that time, but after splitting with her label, it never got released. Like any great artist, though, she wouldn’t let that speed bump take control of her career.

Over the last few years, the 26-year-old has cementer herself as one of the exciting risers in R&B. But she’s not so easily definable. Her sound mixes soul, pop, and elements of hip-hop to create something rare, refined and accessible.

2.) Why you need to listen to her:

IDK about you, but I was REALLY feeling a lot of the looks on the 2014 VMA red carpet. There was a distinct lack of normcore, with most of the PYTs hitting the carpet swaddling themselves in high fashion designer duds (most of it custom), and MAN, were their efforts worth it. Let’s take a closer look at who really turned it out!

MILEY CYRUS IN ALEXANDRE VAUTHIER

Similar in silhouette to her VMA outfit last year, Miley Cyrus toned things down for 2014 with a leather Alexandre Vauthier bandeau and high-waisted leather harem pants.

NICKI MINAJ IN SAINT LAURENT

Nicki Minaj slinked down the carpet in a snake print gold mini by Saint Laurent. Completely sparkly and a large bold print, it was wild compared to other looks we saw tonight, but still pretty tame compared to 100% of her previous VMA looks.

CHARLI XCX IN MOSCHINO

Speaking of wild, Charli XCX‘s tiger-striped Moschino by Jeremy Scott paired with her extra-long Vivienne Westwood clutch made for maximum slayage on the red carpet. It totally didn’t even matter that she wasn’t wearing any underwear.
