Batman Up
Related to man up and put on your big girl panties. To, rather than accepting a situation and move on like an adult, use your wits and body armor and fists and sense of theatrics to come to terms with it and possibly to campaign against similar situations in the future like an adult (or like a comic book fan).
More practical to apply in a metaphorical sense than a literal one, unless you particularly feel like joining a SWAT team or have inherited an incredibly large sum of money and a butler who might possibly be a former spy.
There is nothing wrong with being unable to batman up, and it is not healthy in every instance. But if you can then you're Batman.
