The 11th Doctor, actor Matt Smith, traded his Doctor Who attire of tweed jacket and bow tie for the Batman cape and cowl over the weekend. Batman is cool.

If you’ve been holding your breath for a few short seconds now, you can start breathing: Matt Smith is NOT trying to replace Christian Bale as Batman. (Whew!)

Instead, the British actor was playing a comedic Batman over the weekend for an event called 24 Hour Plays (the plays are written the night before by various playwrights, then the actors have only a day of rehearsals before going live on stage) in Santa Monica, Calif.
