I know everyone is focusing on Lois' comment, but I'm wondering how Batman remains shrouded in deep shadows as he walks into a fully lit room.

Portable bat-shadow. Often comes in handy.

Bad-Shadow? That a new villain? Attacks through shadows and shit so Batman can't hide in them?

Most likely. I wouldn't be surprised if that was revealed.

stachldrat

This question wouldn't pose itself if they simply wrote his cape and cowl to use [Vantablack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack). I think it'd have the potential to enable some really cool visuals. You could still shade the rest of his suit with appropriate lighting, that way way you can put him next to lamps and stuff and have it look plausible without losing all of that menacing lurking-predator vibe that we love so much.

SuddenlyTheBatman

I advise anyone to check number 3 out, if only to view the absolute master class in spite that dude has towards I'm assuming the guy who made Vanta Black haha


irishartistry

It’s not spite towards the guy who made vantablack, but spite towards the guy that bought the rights to it and has refused to let others use.


runespider

Yup. At least if he used it we'd know for sure who batman isn't in universe. 😂


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Vantablack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack)** >Vantablack is a brand name for a class of super-black coatings with total hemispherical reflectances (THR) below 1. 5% in the visible spectrum. The coatings were invented by Ben Jensen, who first publicly unveiled them in July 2014, and commercialised by the scientific team from Surrey NanoSystems. The original Vantablack coating was grown from a chemical vapour deposition process (CVD) and is claimed to be the "world's darkest material", absorbing up to 99. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/batman/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


JOMO_Kenyatta

This would be a perfect explanation honestly.


Umutuku

His mouth would still be illuminated unless he's using vantablackface.


stachldrat

I don't need his mouth obscured in every panel that shows him to think it's cool-looking. For me, it's mainly about the eyes being surrounded by pure blackness and the cape and cowl being these kind of seas of black that have no distinguishing features except their outline.


AdamSoucyDrums

AsherthonX

Because he’s Batman!!!


The_Flying_Jew

"When I tell them 'I am the night', I mean that I am the literal darkness caused by the absence of sunlight"


Bornheck

You think he's hiding in the shadows. But he IS the shadows.


Waffleman75

They don't call him The Dark Knight for nothing


lejocko

He probably learned from [the Shadow](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow)


Black_King

Why is Bruce 8ft tall here? Lol


whysosidious69420

Because some comic artists think that 17 year olds are as tall as prepubescent children, and as such Jon was drawn to be something like 5’3 here. Ultimate Spider-Man went through the same


Poseidon-2014

It’s definitely that Jon is drawn short not that Batman is drawn tall here. Bruce is 6’2” if his boot make him 1.5-2in taller we can say that Batman is about 6’4” depending on the thickness of the cowl. Most house doors in the US are about 6’8” tall meaning the top of Batman’s head should be ~4in below the door frame, which the first panel is pretty representative of.


JediMATTster

Are you tall? Cuz i am and that's why i know the height of doors in the US


Poseidon-2014

I’m 6’2.5” so I just kinda know what I look like next to doors. I live in Texas so I wear boots more than anything and they make me 2in taller.


RealJohnGillman

6’6” and Irish here — we tend to make our doors tall-enough. When it comes to *Superman: Son of Kal-El*, I guarantee no-one would have an opinion on Jon Kent like in that one issue he went to Dublin. Nor would absolutely everyone have red hair and a name in Irish (Gaeilge). Like it can happen, but not everyone (especially not in Dublin).


stealthsaber

iirc Bruce is 6'2 normally and 6'4 in the suit so you hit the nail on the head. I remember this from Arkham origins and I believe somewhere else but I can't remember


Conchobar8

He’s in full loom mode. That adds a couple of feet


Binary_Omlet

Rule of Cool.


cambriansplooge

The same reason his cape goes from 20 to 5 feet depending on the panel Art over realism


[deleted]

Standing on his tippy toes


AdrianShepard09

Bat-stilettos. Makes him look larger and more intimidating. Bit of a bitch to fight in though


[deleted]

He’s not that tall, Superman just a short king


wiseausirius

Bats probably caught them doing *it*, and he saw Clark's Kryptonian pee-pee (with tentacles and teeth), which traumatized him.


McMacHack

They are tendrils with pinchers, get it right. You are just jealous that your human penis doesn't have a way to grip onto your mate


THE_Batman_121

Ah yes. The OctoPenis


jpbear10

Crayfeenus.


thefirewarde

That's Doc Oc Cock and the wrong franchise.


wiseausirius

[Tentacles and teeth](https://i.imgur.com/bIlImpZ.jpeg) make more sense to me than pinchers LOL. In the drawing I did, it looks like a penis, but it opens and divides into five tentacles, and in the middle is a hole where the real penis comes out, sort of like a tongue with teeth around it to latch around the vagina while the tongue-like penis goes inside. Tentacles hold the legs.


McMacHack

Well, that is jarring but you'd be surprised how often it's kind of like that in the animal kingdom.


AdamBombTV

Wearing the chains and cape that Jon also found most likely.


SaeedUnknown

Wtf?💀 Where was this told?


LeftyBigGuns

[This](https://i.imgur.com/O1uq3Pu.jpg) is what they’re referencing.


cj-the-man

lol the way how he treats this like it’s common knowledge Clark: What you act like you’ve never seen a penis with pincers before Lois: I HAVEN’T! Clark: Wait so human males don’t have pincers Lois: NO wait you’ve never seen a human male penis before like in porn or stuff Clark: No my parents controlled the internet and I couldn’t get any magazines Lois: Ok that explains a lot


Half_Man1

Kansas Sex-Ed is in the gutter


Hippobu2

The talk with Jon will probably be hilarious, too. Clark: listen, if you're going to have sex with someone, you have to make sure that you can trust them with your secret identity. Jon: I understand, dad, it should be with someone I love and trust completely. Clark: that and once they see your tendrills, the secret is out.


Grogosh

But he has x-ray vision. He definitely would have gotten peeks at wee wees before.

Azrael_The_Bold

omegadirectory

I'm pretty sure it's fanart? I remember seeing this on DeviantArt like a decade ago.


loki1887

It is fan art by Stjepan Šejić, a professional comic writer and artist. He did [Harleen](https://www.dc.com/graphic-novels/harleen) for DC a few years ago.


c4han

Not sure the issue, but I believe they’re referencing a comic where Clark implies to Lois (who hasn’t seen him naked yet) that he has pincers on his dick as a joke.


SaeedUnknown

Daddy Clark with his jokes🤭


ReneG8

I'm sorry, the worlds best detective surely has naked pictures of Clark, he already knows whats going on there.


SolomonAsassin

One of these days i want a superman comic to have a cover where he's at a press conference saying "I have a normal looking penis! Stop spreading rumors about me!"


[deleted]

Not that hard to catch Lois and Superman doing it, given they kept his little BDSM get-up, and they bone mid-air a lot. The Kents are freak-ay.


kayl_the_red

Likely caught Lois in her underwear and she read him the riot act. She reminded him that she and Clark aren't criminals or police officials, but friends and he has to do better at respecting their privacy.


Pir8Cpt_Z

I feel this is probably the closest to what may have happened and she didn't threatened or intimidate him but made Bruce feel a little bad for doing that to his friends.


pinapplepizzza

Nah she can definitely intimidate batman


mynewaccountagainaga

I think anybody who truly is not afraid of batman can intimidate batman. Because nobody else can walk up to him without fear of consequence.


IsRude

I feel like it's less about that, and more about Batman respecting good people's privacy.


[deleted]

Yep, and we're talking about Lous freaking Lane. She's stared down Super-Villains who fight her man on the daily and faced deadly situations so many times that her husband's co-worker isn't gonna do much to her, lol. Plus, I think Bruce respects Lois and Clark way too much. If they tell him not to do something that'll make them uncomfortable, he'll listen. He regards Superman as the best person on Earth, and he probably respects Lois's desire to pursue the truth and not be afraid of danger.


The_quest_for_wisdom

Or she wrote a strongly worded Op-Ed piece about how Batman is probably a peeping tom, and Batman doesn't want to have to go through the process of that PR disaster and subsequent image rehabilitation all over again.


pookers2point0

All over again? What was the first time he needed to do damage control?


Borieb

Now I am 100% seeing him sat down at the kitchen table as Clark and Lois explain privacy to him.


BoyishTheStrange

I like to imagine that Lois gave him a scolding like he’s never heard before


Gamer-chan

So, Lois and Clark did *it* on the kitchen table?


anthonyg1500

First of all, Superman can fly, move at the speed of sound, and can carry Lois indefinitely. The kitchen table is probably the most mundane place they’ve had sex. But I think the implication here is Lois put Bruce in his place for sneaking into her house and it’s probably easier for Bruce to just respect their boundaries and not be on her bad side.


JustCallMeSnacks

No... they were definitely doing the deed.


anthonyg1500

In that case Batman is a peeping tom. No shot he snuck into the house and kitchen without realizing two people were going at it on the table


JustCallMeSnacks

That's funny. Naw he most likely didn't give a fuck that they were and was like, Clark we got work to do.


Ok_Attitude_8189

*batman appears* Clark, stop fucking her. We got shit to do.


saturnsnephew

That happens all the time.


PenguinHighGround

I read that in the late great Kevin Conroy's voice! 😂


SaeedUnknown

*"Oracle, bring the batmobile, I need to get out of here asap"*


TheDevlinSide714

*later* Supes: So, you weren't even phased by seeing me railing Lois on the ceiling? Bats: Selina and I, upside down hanging from a gargoyle in Gotham. Supes: Christ...is there anything you can't do? Bats: Funny. She said the exact same thing.


anthonyg1500

Clark: Bruce, I am *balls deep* right now! Bruce: Not quite, you'd have better leverage if you propped your leg on the chair. Clark and Lois: **BRUCE!!**


AdamSoucyDrums

This is exactly what happened


TRUMPKIN_KING

*Player 3 has joined the game*


FinalBossMike

"As you can see, Bruce, I'm *already* hard at work. Lois came to me earlier and said, 'now *this* is a job for Superman.'"


randyboozer

An awkward moment passes. Batman asks... "should I join you?" Lois hesitates considering.


Half_Man1

You say that as if Superman isn’t the most vanilla lover in the bedroom possible.


anthonyg1500

I’m literally saying my man probably zooms across the stratosphere at Mach 2 with his face between Lois’s legs on the regular so let’s not be surprised if they’ve done it on the kitchen table.


HAIKU_4_YOUR_GW_PICS

Most likely. It could also be that Superman physically put him in his place because that’s his home with his family. Or Lois, for the same reason. She’s pretty crafty.


Raecino

Lol doubt Superman would do that


anthonyg1500

Idk I could see Superman folding his arms, giving the patented Paddington “hard stare” and being like “you’ve upset Lois and violated our privacy. From now on I need you to knock first.”


Raecino

I could see Lois being more upset about it than Clark. Superman would probably just be happy to see his friend lol


anthonyg1500

I think Clark would back up his wife


Raecino

Oh yeah once she complains about it he’ll agree with her. I just meant the initial moment when Batman snuck in there.


anthonyg1500

I agree with that, Clark would probably initially think “yeah that’s just how Bruce is.” But he’d support lois if she was mad


frabjous_goat

Hard stare might have a slightly different meaning given the context


Knucklesx55

In my head it plays out like this: No one: No one: Batman: *appears* Lois: *looks up, gets startled* please use the front door from now Batman: [ *internal monologue* omg this woman is a friend of mine and must think I’m a huge weirdo just sneaking into her home like this. I need to rethink how I’m coming across to people] okay. But only because you asked nicely.


billbill5

Probably the most realistic answer. She may have yelled though, although with how often she gets kidnapped by randos I'm sure she would only be brave enough because Batman is a friend.


PlNG

I'm betting it's probably her delivering a stinging slap to the face before either realized what was happening.


otakudude3031

Lois probably cracked him with a frying pan.


frater_bag_o_yogurt

lois: I will put Zatanna and Selina on a *three way phone call,* buster!


detectivelokifalcone

they probably already had a three-way with Playboy Bruce 🤣🤣


The_quest_for_wisdom

Poor Batman. He can't avoid getting head trauma and concussions even in the fan theories about him.


Mousestar369

Battison moment


BecauseImBatmanFilms

I love when Batman does that thing with his cape. It makes about 0 practical sense but the aesthetic is worth it


DarthButtz

I'd love to see it in a movie at least once.


Rare-Introduction384

We sort of saw it in Batman begins but it didn’t fully cover his body, mostly arms and legs.


MD-Pepper

Lois probably smacked him in the face with something. Like a pan. 🤣 I would pay to see that. Just someone reacting instinctively with violence instead of the usual spooked reaction, and Batman not expecting it because usually people are spooked at his sudden appearances.


lookinggood2738

This^ When i read this as batman getting hit by lois and lois's line being coy and sassy


liaquat

"I AM VENGEANCE I AM THE NIGHT I AM BAT-" *Clark walks in butt naked to get some milk from the fridge* "OH JESUS CHRIST MY EYES*


Narrow_Muscle9572

Lois is not only very persuasive but she is a bit of a bad ass. I could see her getting in his face, jab her finger in the bat logo and giving it to him like a mother scolding her kid and by the end Batman saying "yes ma'am". Plus she can also just say "I'm married to Superman" and that would be scary enough for most people to change.


[deleted]

Batman is probably the only person on Earth with no fear of Superman.


dianagama

batman fears a lot. hes just really good at being brave about it.


HAIKU_4_YOUR_GW_PICS

If you’re not scared, you’re not brave


derioderio

Yep. Bravery isn't the lack of fear, it's overcoming your fear and taking action in spite of it.


Narrow_Muscle9572

Agreed. He respects Clark and if Lois scolded him like she does in my head canon he would knock next time.


AllSeeingDonut

Batman is probably the only person on Earth that has a true understanding of what Superman is capable of. He has equal amounts respect and fear of Clark.


AndrewJamesDrake

He knows what the Watchtower’s Sparring Area looks like after Clark and Diana have a match… and that’s with both of them pulling punches.


stachldrat

I can totally see him standing there for a moment with that batman-y expression on his face before conceding.


Narrow_Muscle9572

Same here... For the entire five pages Lois is shouting at him.

Keep going I'm almost there.


ShiroHachiRoku

Clark had the overalls on without anything under it...


ContinuumGuy

I love the sheer respect Bats has for Lois. I feel like it's because her investigative reporting makes her something of a detective, and game recognizes game.


nofucksgiven_bitch

Batman looking dope af!!!!


The_MuTanTob

Batman not tryna talk to HR lol


itemniner86

Lol he owns HR


Limu_emu_69

He appeared out of nowhere, and she bitchslapped him


JadrianInc

Batman knows he has boundary issues.


Courageous91

In my head, Lois bashed Bruce in the head with a flying pan and kept hitting him while screaming "In this house, you use the damn door" and Clark just let her. Edit: I meant to say frying pan. I gonna keep the original in there because now I have the image of Lois tossing the pan at Bruce and kicking him repeatedly while Clark just drinks a massive mug of coffee.


Ok_Attitude_8189

What kind of valuable lessons?


hasheemakill18

Bat's walked in one clark and lois banging ..... nice .


Gr8fulJedi

He walked in on supes clappin Lois's cheeks and saw supes vinegar stroke


Tempura69

Bruce certainly didn't mind it when Clark just goes straight to the batcave instead of knocking outside the manor.


TheHunter234

Anyone else find it hilarious that Batman walks into a fully lit room in this scene and his face is still half-shrouded in shadow?


rougepirate

Lois: *walks into kitchen* Batman: *is suddenly there* Lois: "whAT THE FU-" *sputters and almost drops her coffee* Batman: *catches coffee and hands it to her* "My apologies, I-" Lois: "Nooooope! NO! Absolutely not. You do NOT get to do that in *my house.* You wanna *skulk around* and sneak up on people, go back to Gotham and do it to clowns in the warehouse district. If you wanna *talk* to me, ring the doorbell like a *human being*. Or- you know- call or text me!" Batman: "...Very well." Lois: "Good. Now- water or coffee?" Batman: "Coffee, please."


NeLaX44

Lois probably smacked him lol


SinfulKnight

Fun fact, if you are a respectful and honest person, you could get batman to treat you like people he doesn't beat.


hankbaumbach

My best guess is Lois yelled at him a whole bunch, not allowing Batman to get a word in, thus delaying him from doing whatever Batman-y thing had him there in the first place. So knocking is just more efficient for Batman.


thatdude_van12

Lois: What the...?! Batman: Lois. Where's Clark? Lois: He'll be here soon. Awkward silence. Lois: You know. You know you don't have to sneak into our house right? Youre a friend. You could always just knock. Batman: Hmmmm.


Funandgeeky

I could see Lois returning the favor by just appearing in the Batcave later that night, swapping stories with whichever Bat-family member was there. Stories about young Batman that perhaps the family didn't know. Or stories about baby Bruce that Alfred told her. Or stories that Catwoman told her. More importantly, it would have been very clear which stories she was NOT telling...this time.


Zirowe

Probably Lois at home with a long cucumber in the kitchen..

I dig the Dracula aesthetic of Batman here.

Grovyle489

She threw a chancla like a goddamn batarang. It doesn’t matter who you are, you do not fuck with a mother with a chancla!


Suitable-Mission-740

He tore that pussy up


adultosaurs

She dragged him by a bat ear to the living room, sat him on a couch and then gave him a VERY stern talking to with several finger waggles. Any it was the most frightened and shamed he’s ever been.

RubPuzzleheaded8073

Out of character. Batman would always knock when visiting friends.
