Up, up and away!

While walking with his babysitter in New York City on March 12, Max Bratman looked ready to take flight in a cool Batman raincoat ($45).

Turns out it’s part of the new Batman Raingear Collection from Western Chief, which also includes a matching umbrella ($17) and boots ($39).

Clearly, Max is a fan of superhero clothing.

He also rocked an adorable Spiderman T-shirt later that month.

PH. MAX/Startraks

Russell Crowe flashes the peace sign as he touches down with son Tennyson, 3½, on Thursday in Rome.

The actor is in Italy with wife Danielle Spencer, Tennyson and elder son Charles, 6, as he promotes his latest film, Robin Hood.

The boys saw the movie, but weren’t that impressed, Crowe, 46, joked recently.

“[Tennyson] is going, ‘Dad? Dad? When are you going to get a horse?’” laughed Crowe.

“When I got the horse, he goes, ‘Dad, you got the horse, can we go now?’”

Cynthia Nixon: My Kids Have Two Moms

When Cynthia Nixon began dating Christine Marinoni in 2004, the actress made sure it was understood that as mother to Samantha, 13, and Charles Ezekiel, 8, she came as a package deal. Six years later, the family is flourishing.

“Maybe I’m just lucky, but I feel like Christine is so amazing with our kids — because they’re our kids,” Nixon reveals in The Advocate‘s June issue.

“I feel like falling in love with her is part of being amazed at how she makes our family so much better.”

With Marinoni staying home while the Sex and the City star nurtures her career, the family dynamic has grown stronger — a result, Nixon says, of their amazing support system.

“[Charlie's] teachers were just so great about it because they were the first people that started referring to ‘Charlie’s moms,’ which is so lovely, and we really hadn’t done that yet,” she notes. “So Charlie came home one day and he said [to Marinoni], ‘You’re my mommy too!’ “

Henry McGee/Globe

When you’re a mom to twins “every day is a discovery,” Molly Ringwald tells iVillage.

“I’m still figuring it out as I go along.”

Noting that a friend believes that being mom to a singleton is “almost like having an accessory … like having a handbag,” Ringwald — mom to Mathilda Ereni, 6½, and twins Adele Georgiana and Roman Stylianos, 10 months — points out that “you can go anywhere with one.”

“Suddenly — with three — it’s a bit more challenging,” she adds.
