Sure, I'll break it down: batman.js is a JavaScript framework for rich JavaScript applications. It's designed to make development as fast and as painless as possible for developers and designers while giving them lots of power.

Still nada. What does it actually do? A framework for doing what w.r.t. rich JavaScript applications? Is this like Cappuccino? How does this "make development as fast and as painless as possible for developers and designers while giving them lots of power"?
