A jumping spider is just a species of spider...

A jumping spider man is not a specie of spider.

But we've had batmen for years! Why has no-one made threads about them?

Syrupleaf had batmen problems in its early days.

I'd be willing to bet you can find threads about batmen with all sorts of punning if you looked long enough. And in addition, the batman is joked about on the wiki in any case.

Which means the question could really be rephrased, why is there not joking on the wiki about the spiderman (jumping variant or otherwise)?

(The answer is probably, "because they were just added in DFv0.34.xx," naturally, but that doesn't preclude getting started with the wiki humour subsection now that we've noticed.)

Because Batman is the hero the Wiki deserves.

Ah... but is it? Is it a species of spider? Or a species of man?

It's a species of hero, gentle reader.

There's also the Iron Man that puzzlingly lacks [ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT].

The item is an image of an Iron Man in kaolinite. It is encircled with bands of orthoclase.

I had a dwarf go into a fell mood and make a statue of a dwarf out of the dwarf victim's skeleton.  (Sort of like that creepy "Bodies" exhibition that is probably made from executed Chinese criminals.)

Is that what always happens?!

Nope, they usually make a perfectly normal object apart from the material. But now you need to stick this in their family's room, or better yet, their lover's. Bonus points if you can get them to haul it there themselves.

No, that's pretty random. But awesome. I'm guessing that the artifact workmanship went into reproducing all the dearly-departed's features using just the internal skeleton. Imagine how much work it would take to turn a skull into a 9/10ths scale replica of their head, complete with facial features. That's some legendary bone carving right there.
