Batman: The Movie/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anvilicious: The shots of Batman and Robin fastening their seat belts; Robin's "Support Your Police" line, the alcohol speech mentioned above
  • Ass Pull: Batman's Everyone's "Deductions" sure sound like are this. See "Bat Deduction" below for the crowning example of this. The fact that he's right about just about everything, no matter how absurd, makes it all the more hilarious.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The Joker putting explosives in someone's stomach. I'm sure we'll never see that happen again...
    • Batman's line about how "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" brings to mind all the fuss surrounding another campy Batman film.
    • The woman at the desk calling for Security after two men in gaudy tights run in screaming "Emergency! Seal the building!"
    • The exploding shark. Jaws the Revenge.
  • Ho Yay: Robin seemed less embarrassed about listening in on Bruce and Kitka and more irritated/jealous. The Riddler almost sounded like he had a bit of a crush on Batman.

Riddler: Oh, but I must, I must! Outwitting Batman is my sole delight, my heaven on earth, my very paradise!

  • Magnificent Bastard: Penguin and Riddler.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" and "Anti-Shark Repellent Bat Spray", in addition to all the other memes from the show.
  • Narm Charm
  • What an Idiot!: Batman's reaction upon learning that The Pentagon sold a pre-atomic submarine to a man named "P.N. Guin", who was at least kind enough to leave a P.O. Box address.
    • It could also overlap with a subtle case of What the Hell, Hero?. He's polite about the news, but Batman is clearly not happy with the fact Penguin has a submarine.
    • Commodore Schmiddlapp takes the cake though. How do you not figure out something's wrong when you're on a boat yet not allowed to leave your own room? As well as the fact that he doesn't recognize the Joker. Who appears in his room to give him his tea while still wearing his ridiculous (though admittedly stylish) purple suit.
