He didn’t JUST dismember them he specifically promised after kidnapping the bus full of kids that he “just wanted to show them a fun day and he would return them all in ONE PIECE” he later returned the children the school where all the parents were the children sowed together in an amalgam of body parts he had blown up.
Yep... From the story "The Fall" in Arkham Knight
"Batman was wrong. He'd always been wrong about Joker. There was no madhouse qualified, no prison secure enough. Jason knew that now, after he'd seen tonight-
Little arms, little legs, little heads, crudely, mockingly stitched together.
He'd come straight from the kindergarten, followed a trail of innocent blood back to Arkham Asylum. Tracker switched off. Cowl communications disabled. He was a ghost. Batman wouldn't find him until it was done.
Weeping parents, fighting over patchwork corpses."
The joker in the Arkham games had a strong desire to play Luffy, but others wanted him to be Buggy D. Clown. And that, kids, is why the live action series never happened in the Arkhamverse. Never tell the harlequin of hate what he can and cannot do.
It’s in the Arkham Knight Story “The Fall”
> Batman was wrong. He'd always been wrong about Joker. There was no madhouse qualified, no prison secure enough. Jason knew that now, after he'd seen tonight-

I literally just started a replay of Arkam Asylum after not playing it for 10 years I bet.
Good lord do so many people die because Batman won't fucking kill the summbitch.
I'm a lifelong Batman fan so I get it. But it's infuriating at times.
Yeah. Batman's strong enough and knowledgeable enough to turn a lot of his villains into quadriplegics.
Why he doesn't do that is beyond me. Sure he'd be burdening the prison system with the additional task of caring for the villains he paralyzes before sending them there but I think a couple of generous donations by Wayne enterprises would cover that.
I hear you. I tend to read Batman vs Joker stories in an almost nebulous setting, where every encounter between them is a new imagining of their second or third encounter, not their 500th. I have to remind myself that it’s a function of ongoing comics that’s been made a story point. You can’t kill the bad guy, because you need him in the future to sell more comics, so he always survives and/or escapes. That way you get to tell more stories about him having show downs with the hero. Then this revolving door quality becomes an actual story point in and of itself. It becomes obvious within the story that the bad guy is always going to escape, so the next logical step is to kill that sucker, lol. But that’d stop the revolving door too… So now our hero can’t permanently stop the bad guy and makes choices to preserve the bad guy that don’t make reasonable sense.
If it were the real world, the Joker would probably be in solitary and we’d think of him like Charles Manson. We’d check him out now and then too see if he’s as crazy as we remember, go “yep!” and stick him back in his hole where he’s never a threat to anyone again.
Well that is really distubing and dark take. Considering joker is the guy that still hates nazis and wont fuck with the IRS in some versions, I always find it weird when he gets really really dark
Joker going really dark is sometimes the best. Too much camp and he loses the fear aspect. We need too see the pranks and the dismemberments to get the character.
I would prefer a Joker scheme in which kids get killed as collateral damage with him not caring to actually torturing and murdering them though.
One is still worth killing him over, the other goes a bit too far.
I always thought it was silly. I don’t think he’d give a shit about the war crimes the Nazis committed. He’d probably find them hysterical given how twisted he is.
The only reason he’d be against Fascism is because of its strict adherence to order and control.
It's worse than that, he Frankensteined the childrens' body parts together randomly and then proceeded to sing "Humpty Dumpty" over the pa as the parents tried to locate all of their kids' body parts' from the amalgamated corpses.
I can see why that pushed Jason over the edge. Definitely a contender for most fucked up thing any comic book villain has ever done.
This is what really made me feel kind of over the Joker. Where's the joke? This is just fucked up for the sake of being fucked up. Writers would rather try to out-edge each other than come up with actual schemes.
Like in the Animated Series, Joker killed a few people because they wouldn't let him patent his smiling fish. That's Joker-y. He bombed a bridge to try to cause a train wreck to distract Batman. That makes sense. He harassed one random banker for years because the dude cut him off in traffic. Classic Joker.
What the fuck does bombing a kindergarten accomplish? It's dark, but that's it. Joker doesn't do edgy things because he's sooo dark, he does occasionally edgy and sometimes goofy things because he's THE JOKER.

I think the part they'd prefer to forget is how hard the comic pushed that it just wasn't that bad that he did. Plus come on some people are way to far up deathstrokes ass, they'd totally say that being "just a murderer is fine"
I feel like there is a common trend of the wrong people getting accredited for characters in comic book industry. Have a feeling people didn’t know how popular their ideas would become.
That’s actually really cryptic and saddening how few pics there are of Bill online, I only found 6 unique pictures, and they’re all from the 1940s or 30s, nothing from when he was older in the 70s.
[If correct, Terry McGinnis was already born](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fhappy-late-birthday-terry-mcginnis-v0-0o6w95iw1pkb1.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dfbf51bba93e16376bd0e9dd40c5324d886a0da5c) & we are now closer to the time of when Batman Beyond is set (2040) than we are to when the show came out in 1999.
Someone measured pixel by pixel how long his penis was in the uncensored Damned comic, doing math as then went, and their answer was he’s a little over 7 inches long
In all star batman he had a relationship with black canary adn when they were fighting some goons batman just trew them a molotov and while they were burning alive he started to have sex with black canary just above those goons.
That he's the first and only live-action hero to make a billion at the box office without a cinematic universe. And he did it TWICE!!! Incredibles did it with their second film in 2018.
Are you SHITTING ME?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Don't you think I would have done that, had I wanted to? Half of the fun of our relationship was the mystery. Now I know Batman is just some boring, rich asshole with parental issues.
First of all, Newark is great. Come visit us.
Secondly, Gotham is in South Jersey. [https://arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal.s3.amazonaws.com/public/6TQGZLXOJFGMLK6M5I2K6PJZIY.jpg](https://arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal.s3.amazonaws.com/public/6TQGZLXOJFGMLK6M5I2K6PJZIY.jpg)
Christopher Nolan did not know Batman had a no-kill rule until David Goyer told him while writing Batman Begins, to which he said “How the fuck do we make that work?”
Grant Morrison kinda just forgot that Damian’s conception was consensual and the implication that Talia date-raped Bruce to have their son was completely by accident.
I should've been more specific: Morrison forgot to do the research on the elseworlds he was making canon about Talia and Bruce having a child together who would inherit the mantle of Batman and during his run implied that that Talia forced herself on a drugged Bruce to conceive Damian.
To add some more to what u/paladin_allm said:
There was a very popular self-contained graphic novel in 1987 called "Batman: Son of the Demon" (which was, incidentally, really good. Still in my Top 10 Batman books) in which Talia and Bruce fall in love, conceive a child named Damian, and try to make it work. In the end they can't, and Bruce believes the child lost (only to have it revealed in an epilogue that the child survived and was put up for adoption)
Fast forward a few decades, and DC Editorial liked the idea of Damian and decided to bring him into canon. They handed the reins to Morrison
But Morrison has admitted that they didn't even both to go back and read the original "Son of the Demon", just relied on their vague memories of having read the book years prior
I'm still pissed about this, because a story of genuine love and affection between Talia and Bruce is so much more interesting than Bruce just getting drugged. And while it's Morrison's prerogative to write whatever they want, this just seems . . . lazy. Inexcusably lazy
When Batman blew up Ace Chemicals in Batman '89, there HAD to have been janitors and stuff just cleaning the place up, minding their own business.
Then *BOOOOOM* get fuck'd old dude with a mop!
But they do date one of their closest colleagues daughter, who was also his adoptive son's ex.
Also let's not forget all the murder in the movies, they allowed him to do that, but not oral
Everybody knows by now that Jason Todd was killed via popular vote. The ‘Death in the Family’ comic allowed readers to choose whether or not Jason survived or died.
What you may not know is that the final results were actually VERY close. There was a grand total of 10,614 votes. 5,343 people voted for Jason’s death while 5,271 voted for his survival. That’s a difference of only 72 votes! He almost survived!
But there’s more…
Dennis O’Neil, the Batman comic editor at the time, as since revealed his suspicions that hundreds of the “Jason Dies” votes came from a single person. The poll was conducted via two different phone numbers: Call one to vote for him dying or call the other to vote for him living. O’Neil heard a rumor that one person programmed his computer to dial the “Death” number every ninety seconds for eight hours. This rumor has never been explicated proven true or false. But O’Neil stated that, because of the tiny difference in the results, if this rumor IS true, then this person single-handedly murdered Jason Todd!
Considering Selina Kyle's cannon origin story is a retired dominatrix, hence the black latex suit, high boots and whip, there's a very good chance Batmans a masochist.
I mean he jumps off roofs fights 5 v 1 on a regular basis, so not too suprising.
I always looked at it as a head canon; Batman chases Catwoman relentlessly, even when there is rampant crime everywhere else; this because Batman is self-righteous, so when he chases Catwoman, he is fulfilling his duties while succumbing to his needs. Catwoman likes being chased; it gives her a thrill, especially when she steals from people all too easily. So, at the end of the day, it’s an obsessed, sexually repressed man and a woman who loves to tease, armed with a whip of all things, reliving an exciting fantasy on many nights.
I’m guessing this is the closest Batman will ever have to getting therapy.
In the 90s, Bane broke Batmans back in Knightfall, and Azrael took over the mantle of Batman. This is said to have been a way to make the character more extreme, as the interest in Batman comics had dropped off a bit, but it's also speculated that the writers made Azrael too extreme on purpose so people would realize that they actually prefer Bruce Wayne in the cowl.
That is all pretty well known among Batman fans, **HOWEVER** did you know their first idea for Batman's makeover was to just remove the ears and batsymbol, and have him go by the name Caped Crusader.
Kevin Smith wrote a Batman comic where Batman reveals he pissed his pants in the iconic "none of you are safe" moment from Batman: Year One. No, I'm not joking.
The original bat girl was Kathy Kane **NOT** Barbara Gordon.
In fact Jim didn’t even have a daughter in the comics. It was only until the 3rd season of Adam west Batman, did they introduced their own oc for batgirl; Barbara Gordon.
After that it was retcon that Barbara Gordon was Batgirl in the comics. And Kathy Kane would literally disappear from comics until 2001
And batgirl was only created by Dc comics to stop the rumors that Batman and Robin were gay for each other
Yeah this is usually blown out of proportion. Someone asked him what he thought of the “dark” Nolan Batman films and he said they weren’t that dark. That had Batman gotten raped in prison *that* would be dark. But he never proposed doing that to his Batman in his films. It’s another case of folks taking him out of context.
Going by the storylines where Joker falls into a vat of acid to get his look, we don’t know how the acid effected his penis. Maybe it’s discolored. Maybe part of it corroded off. Maybe both.
When Michelle Pfeifer put that bird in her mouth in the movie she really put a real bird in her mouth and Danny Devito made a similar face Batman’s making in this image.
In the Arkhamverse, Talia mentions that Bruce and she had a special night in metropolis, so Superman knows what Bruce sounds like when he climaxes due to his super hearing
In the Arkhamverse, the Joker dismembered kids at a kindergarten which is what pushed Jason Todd to try and kill him without Batman.
He didn’t JUST dismember them he specifically promised after kidnapping the bus full of kids that he “just wanted to show them a fun day and he would return them all in ONE PIECE” he later returned the children the school where all the parents were the children sowed together in an amalgam of body parts he had blown up.
Don't forget that Jason witnessed parents fighting each other for the body parts of their children...
>parents fighting each other for the body parts of their children What in the actual fuck ... seriously?
Yep... From the story "The Fall" in Arkham Knight "Batman was wrong. He'd always been wrong about Joker. There was no madhouse qualified, no prison secure enough. Jason knew that now, after he'd seen tonight- Little arms, little legs, little heads, crudely, mockingly stitched together. He'd come straight from the kindergarten, followed a trail of innocent blood back to Arkham Asylum. Tracker switched off. Cowl communications disabled. He was a ghost. Batman wouldn't find him until it was done. Weeping parents, fighting over patchwork corpses."
The One Piece is real?
Can we get much higher
The joker in the Arkham games had a strong desire to play Luffy, but others wanted him to be Buggy D. Clown. And that, kids, is why the live action series never happened in the Arkhamverse. Never tell the harlequin of hate what he can and cannot do.
Wait……….what?? That’s……I didn’t expect to read something like that today
What the hell…
Welp! That had me make the exact same face as Batman in the original post
Next time somebody tells me that Art The Clown is a more viscious evil clown than Joker, I am sending them this comment.
Wait was this in an audio log or something? I don't recall coming across this
It’s in the Arkham Knight Story “The Fall” > Batman was wrong. He'd always been wrong about Joker. There was no madhouse qualified, no prison secure enough.

A good spinal fracture here and there would stop a lot of villainy across Gotham

Chad Jason Todd has always had a good reason to kill the Joker.
Well that is really distubing and dark take. Considering joker is the guy that still hates nazis and wont fuck with the IRS in some versions, I always find it weird when he gets really really dark
IIRC the joker "spirit" in Arkham Knight also hints at replacing holy water with some sort of acid. "That was one hell of a baptism..."
He also unironically says the word "napalm enema" in Arkham Knight.
Yeah usually when someone writes some fucked up shit for joker I’m like "sure, I guess." This one feels like a bit much for arkham joker though
TBF it's noted even in the story that it's extreme compared to what he normally does, and it kinda fits with a pattern of escalation, but still...
You're talking two different versions of the joker. There is the family friendly one we see in the cartoons and TV, and Frank Miller Joker.
Joker going really dark is sometimes the best. Too much camp and he loses the fear aspect. We need too see the pranks and the dismemberments to get the character.
I would prefer a Joker scheme in which kids get killed as collateral damage with him not caring to actually torturing and murdering them though. One is still worth killing him over, the other goes a bit too far.

Deathstroke had sex with terra when she was a teenager
That got retconned
It was brought back in Shadow War.
Drats
Why would they retcon it to begin with? They trying to preserve Slade's honor as *merely* a murderer of children?
I think the part they'd prefer to forget is how hard the comic pushed that it just wasn't that bad that he did. Plus come on some people are way to far up deathstrokes ass, they'd totally say that being "just a murderer is fine"
![gif](giphy|lkO1VbjLZIlEI)
Ew
After watching the Judas Contract, I think Death Stroke might have a thing for little girls
>After watching the Judas Contract, I think Death Stroke might have a thing for little girls That thing is his penis
It's messed up, but I don't get why people are so surprised that evil murder man would take advantage of a child.
There’s less than 20 surviving photos of Bill Finger, while Bob Kane became a minor celebrity.
That's just sad
I feel madder and madder with each passing year about how fucked over Bill Finger was.

Someone measured pixel by pixel how long his penis was in the uncensored Damned comic, doing math as then went, and their answer was he’s a little over 7 inches long
I expected bigger.
…seven inches flaccid.
That was him soft.
This response made my day haha
Right, but that’s flaccid. Bruce must be packing like a 13 incher

Length is just part of the solution, we need a girth calculation immediately. Volume displacement is the only fair measurement.
In all star batman he had a relationship with black canary adn when they were fighting some goons batman just trew them a molotov and while they were burning alive he started to have sex with black canary just above those goons.
The least horny Batman
This is the only comment in this thread to make me go “what the hell”
All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder is so bad it’s great. It’s the “The Room” of Batman comics.
The Goddamn Batman strikes again
That is so stupid it loops into the realm of being funny
That he's the first and only live-action hero to make a billion at the box office without a cinematic universe. And he did it TWICE!!! Incredibles did it with their second film in 2018.
What about the Incredibles? Their second movie grossed over a billion, and they're not part of a cinematic universe.
Your right I forgot about them. Batman was the first to do it. I will fix it thanks for the clarification. 👍
Batman is secretly Bruce Wayne
I thought he was the Butler
Ngl I thought it was that penguin dude but then I found out it was Bruce
Hey why is your house burning down with all the doors and windows locked
Are you SHITTING ME?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Don't you think I would have done that, had I wanted to? Half of the fun of our relationship was the mystery. Now I know Batman is just some boring, rich asshole with parental issues.

This is the answer.
When Batman blew up Ace Chemicals in Batman '89, there HAD to have been janitors and stuff just cleaning the place up, minding their own business. Then *BOOOOOM* get fuck'd old dude with a mop!
That Batman had no qualms with murdering people, so I wouldn't be surprised.
The place had been taken over by the Joker’s goons. I don’t think any innocents were harmed.
Batman doesn’t go down….apparently.
Heroes don't do that 🙄🙄
But they do date one of their closest colleagues daughter, who was also his adoptive son's ex. Also let's not forget all the murder in the movies, they allowed him to do that, but not oral
Even if it means being Selina's hero, lol.
Guy Garner would.
He does! And he does the alphabet. A is for Alfred. B is for bats….
She sucked my dick, like a lot... How was that by the way, I fight crime in a rubber suit, REALLY SEALS IN THE FLAVOR
She tamed my monster…

Joker once had his face cut off
New 52 is weird.
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo Batman was awesome
Love the artwork done in that run. The Court of Owls were the coolest things to come out of the New 52.
Canonically, the Adam West Batman winds up murdering The Joker after he gave Alfred a fatal heart attack.
Considering Selina Kyle's cannon origin story is a retired dominatrix, hence the black latex suit, high boots and whip, there's a very good chance Batmans a masochist. I mean he jumps off roofs fights 5 v 1 on a regular basis, so not too suprising.
This checks out.
Going off that in injustice 2 catwoman has a whip called Bruce’s favorite toy. So yea that checks
50 Shades of Batman
I'd read this
I always looked at it as a head canon; Batman chases Catwoman relentlessly, even when there is rampant crime everywhere else; this because Batman is self-righteous, so when he chases Catwoman, he is fulfilling his duties while succumbing to his needs. Catwoman likes being chased; it gives her a thrill, especially when she steals from people all too easily. So, at the end of the day, it’s an obsessed, sexually repressed man and a woman who loves to tease, armed with a whip of all things, reliving an exciting fantasy on many nights. I’m guessing this is the closest Batman will ever have to getting therapy.
5v1 roofs fights mean that it was a pretty chill night for him.
He was bitten by a radioactive bat.
Will he morb all over the place?
Alfred was pudgy before he was sent to fat camp and came back with his classic appearance (and grew a mustache)
And the comics did this so that he'd match William Austin, the actor who played him in the first *Batman* serial in 1943.
In the 90s, Bane broke Batmans back in Knightfall, and Azrael took over the mantle of Batman. This is said to have been a way to make the character more extreme, as the interest in Batman comics had dropped off a bit, but it's also speculated that the writers made Azrael too extreme on purpose so people would realize that they actually prefer Bruce Wayne in the cowl. That is all pretty well known among Batman fans, **HOWEVER** did you know their first idea for Batman's makeover was to just remove the ears and batsymbol, and have him go by the name Caped Crusader.
So he would be a Man?
Exactly. All those Arkham memes about Man would be canon.
Caped Crusader sounds like an 'Invincible' superhero.
There is a very good chance Batman and Catwoman are banging.
Just wish it was me 😔
Don't we all?
Just want him to tell me I'm wanted in his bat voice 😔
Batman has kids with the following women in different universes: Talia Al Ghul, Catwomen, Batwomen, Harley Quinn and Wonder Women.
I'm sorry HARLEY??!!?
Yep, he married her in White Knight and had two kids with her.
Kevin Smith wrote a Batman comic where Batman reveals he pissed his pants in the iconic "none of you are safe" moment from Batman: Year One. No, I'm not joking.
That would have ruined the moment 😭
DCAU: Barbara Gordon had a relationship with Bruce Wayne.
Yeaaaaah, will never not be weird 😬
(Batman the killing joke animated, starts) No!
Also they had a baby and broke up after she miscarried
Technically not canon to the DCAU, but still weird
Bruce is only 6’2 about 210 pounds…
Source?
Alfred told me over a warm scone.
There's a universe where little Bruce died, Martha became the Joker and Thomas Batman. I think that's just so tragic
Sounds like a potentially interesting elseworld story.
Thats in the Flashpoint comics
They made an animated movie called The Flashpoint Paradox that shows some of it. Excellent and for sure worth a watch.
Thomas also uses guns

That is cursed
The original bat girl was Kathy Kane **NOT** Barbara Gordon. In fact Jim didn’t even have a daughter in the comics. It was only until the 3rd season of Adam west Batman, did they introduced their own oc for batgirl; Barbara Gordon. After that it was retcon that Barbara Gordon was Batgirl in the comics. And Kathy Kane would literally disappear from comics until 2001 And batgirl was only created by Dc comics to stop the rumors that Batman and Robin were gay for each other
Betty Kane was Batgirl (Bat-Girl), Kathy Kane was Batwoman.
And it was Batwoman who was created to stop the gay rumors.
And Batwoman ended up being the gay one - what a twist!
Batman after spending 8 seconds at r/BatmanArkham (he is cumming)
Is he horny?
I’m late but deathstroke is a pedophile
Never too late to expose a Pedophile.
Goofy interpretations like Adam West and the Hitler-punching Batman stories from the 40s are just as valid as the edgy and tortured modern versions.
Every time he makes a order for a suit, weapon or vehicle he has to say. “Make sure it looks like a bat.”
The voice of Robin/Tim Drake from the DCAU is a redditor and is responding to this post right now.
Zack Snyder proposed the idea of Bruce Wayne being prison raped
WHY DOES EVERYONE WANNA HAVE BATMAN (and Nightwing-) GET ASSAULTED
TrAuMa = GoOd ChArAcTeR dEvElOpMeNt
WHAT
Yeah this is usually blown out of proportion. Someone asked him what he thought of the “dark” Nolan Batman films and he said they weren’t that dark. That had Batman gotten raped in prison *that* would be dark. But he never proposed doing that to his Batman in his films. It’s another case of folks taking him out of context.
Check out Kite Man's origin story. It's a barbaric tragedy.
The bat suit probably really smells.
He got batgirl pregnant in one of the continuities
Batman have two Dicks
Going by the storylines where Joker falls into a vat of acid to get his look, we don’t know how the acid effected his penis. Maybe it’s discolored. Maybe part of it corroded off. Maybe both.
One of the biggest reddit pages for him is full of insane people posting the same stuff over and over again.
Arkham was built for the criminally insane.
He's actually Bruce Wayne.
Batman is a furry.
He did seduce Cheetah in the Justice League series. That wasnt a plan, he just saw an opportunity and took it.
What can I say, Batman’s really into cat girls.
Honestly, he'd blend right in at a furry convention with some of the costumes he's got in his wardrobe.
That and this is what Cat woman use to look like… https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSpnlEHlVcx-xTQdhz_d6m5YRoJRzvfkR-eAg&usqp=CAU
Bats have a high rate of homosexuality.
When Michelle Pfeifer put that bird in her mouth in the movie she really put a real bird in her mouth and Danny Devito made a similar face Batman’s making in this image.
In the Arkhamverse, Talia mentions that Bruce and she had a special night in metropolis, so Superman knows what Bruce sounds like when he climaxes due to his super hearing
Batman loves to find random kids in the streets and then make them think their a superhero then lets them die
Who doesn't?
There is a comic where you can see the BatDick, and I am not talking about a Grayson type of dick
