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.

Sure, you could make your backend in plain Ruby, but if you learn to use Rails you can do things quicker.
