Batman/Memes

And he can create his goddamn memes whenever the hell he wants.

"I'm Batman."

—Batman

The one comic character with his own page of memes, because he's the goddamn Batman.

---

The Comics

• Bees. My god.
• "I'm the goddamn Batman." - Courtesy of Frank Miller's take: All Star Batman and Robin.
  • Twelve-years-old Dick Grayson is a twelve-year-old trapeze artist born twelve years ago and is twelve-years-old when he becomes twelve-year-old Robin. At twelve-years-old. Age twelve.
  • "That is totally queer." "Shut up. >:("
  • Ain't nothin' queer about it, love chunks.
• He's Batman, and he can breathe in space.
• And a filler strip about Batman from PvP would like you to know that HIS PARENTS ARE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD!!!!
  • Another vector for this meme is an image of Batman slapping Robin while shouting "MY PARENTS ARE DEEAAAAAAAD!!!". For the record: This is an actual image from an actual Batman What If story, though edited; the original context is completely different. Read all about it here.
  • That panel itself has been subjected to many, many variations, with Batman and Robin's words constantly being swapped out.
  • And in song.
  • And in Toronto.
• Sexy Bat-hat is sexy, you must touch it.
• Chortle at the Joker's boner, will you?!
  • For those wondering how the hell something like that ever appeared in a comic book back then, keep in mind that terminology can undergo changes (i.e. "gay" going from "happy" to "homosexual"). In this case, "boner" went from a gaffe to... well, you know.
  • To clarify, this wasn't just one panel- the entire story revolved around the Joker's boners or Batman and Robin's boners. There are nearly forty uses of the the word and the story is less than ten pages long.
• Batman hates rock & roll! (Courtesy of Batman: Fortunate Son and Atop the Fourth Wall)
  • Punk is nothing but death! And crime! And the raaaaaage of a beast.
• Saturday Night Live by way of The Nostalgia Critic and Atop the Fourth Wall:
  • The Ambiguously Gay Duo
• Atop the Fourth Wall also gives us this gem:
  • Bruce Wayne, agent of NAMBLA.
• The classic Batman origin story has three: the bat flying through the window, "Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot" and "I shall become a bat!"

The Movies

• Batman Begins
  • Nice coat.:
• The Dark Knight:
  • The internet has been swamped with people "jokerizing" icons, avatars, and pictures of all kinds with graffiti of Joker make-up and the phrase "Why so serious?" To be fair, it was intended to be a meme by marketing.
    • Then there's the Harry Potter sub-mutation (picture in the Film section). "Why so Sirius?" Which has it's own brilliance when you consider Commissioner Gordon and Sirius Black are both played by the same guy. Also happened to Sirius satellite radio.
      • • This meme has officially breached the political barrier, with various pictures of Barack Obama done up as The Joker ...and Sarah Palin, and John McCain, and Joe Biden...
  • It seems that everyone wants to show you a magic trick. Don't let them.
    • Ta-daa! It's... now it's gone.
  • "Do you want to know how I got these scars?"
  • The now-famous interrogation scene.
    • Never start with the head! The victim gets all...fuzzy!
    • "Are you speaking Bat? Is that what Bat sounds like?"
  • There's been some mutation of Alfred's speech about seeing a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine.
    • A few years ago he saw a child playing with a tangerine...the size...of a tangerine...
    • His friends and he were in Burma working for the local Tangerine.
      • • But in six months...they never met ANYONE.
          • Some men aren't looking for anything logical...some men just want a tangerine.
  • What do you believe in, huh? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?
    • I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you... stranger.
  • Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are tonight's entertainment! I only have one question. Where is Harvey Dent?
  • Come on, I want you to do it, I want you to do it. Come on, hit me. *Hit me!*
  • "I want my phone call."
  • You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
  • And here...we...go.
  • "A little fight in you, I like that..." "Then you're gonna love me."
  • SWEAR TO ME!!!
    • DO I LOOK LIKE A COP?
  • Courtesy of Riff Trax, WHERE ARE THEY!?
  • "Look at me...LOOK! AT! ME!"
  • He's the meme that the Internet deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So they'll mock him. But he can take it.
  • Maggie Gyllenhaal just kneed The Joker IN THE BALLS!!!
  • In Nolan We Trust
  • Various images involving Alfred's "Some men just want to watch the world burn" speech have characters doing things that aren't pure evil, just really, really stupid.

  • Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Because I'm seeing gorillas riding pterodactyls, with harpoon guns, stealing a boat.
  • Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but it's certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots as the tortured avenger crying out for Mommy and Daddy. And besides, those Easter Bunnies looked really scary, right?!
