"To rename a file, use mv with the old file as the first argument and the new file as the second argument. By moving batman.txt into spiderman.txt , we rename the file as spiderman.txt "
please explain more specific, when move a txt(1) to other txt(2), it mean we move the content? and then the txt(1) will be deleted?

The exercises in this course can be a bit buggy sometimes. The exercise expects you to start off in the directory you were in for the last exercise. In other words, although your command is correct, the slapstick/ directory doesn’t exist if you use the specified file path. Please see this response on another topic; it will solve the issue.
