Revision as of 23:41, 15 October 2022
"I'm 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.
- 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
- 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...
- 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.
- It seems that everyone wants to show you a magic trick. Don't let them.
- "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.
- But in six months...they never met ANYONE.
- 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.
