10 Most Inappropriate Batman Comics Storylines Ever

Robins crush on Batgirl is more akin to having a crush on a coworker than "surrogate sister" since Barbara isn't adopted by Batman as a ward

I don't understand how you get this idea that Batman is "for children." The character moved beyond that realm a long time ago.

[@CynderSpirit]

Batman was a character who was meant to be for everyone as Bob Kane even stated "Batman should never be only dark and serious, as he and many superheroes were created to be slightly campy, all-ages characters, with stories that adults and children could simultaneously enjoy for different reasons. Batman The Animated Series is basically how he should be represented as Batman is suppose to be a character capable of having all kinds of emotions he can be a dark vigilant while also being fun to both watch and read about. Batman is also capable of laughing, smilng, and crackng small jokes. Writers today seem to take too much inspiration from Frank Miller's version who is far from the Idealistic character.

[@depressedkermit5337]

It's interesting that as Robin Jason was hated but as Red Hood he is one of the most popular Batman characters

[@gilgamesh5450]

Andru Ulrich He was hated because he was a rip off to dick Grayson, origin and everything.

[@Bluesit32]

Adrian Castillo How do you figure? Grayson was an acrobat, Todd was a street urchin that tried to steal Batman's tires. His dad was a crook that Two-Face offed before he ever met Batman, Dick Grayson's parents were murdered by Tony Zucco during a performance that Bruce was attending. The problem was that he was too different. He was hot headed, arrogant, violent, and reckless. Little known fact, Jason Todd was originally a red head. Batman had him dye his hair so that people thought it was the same Robin. This is later revisited near the end of the pre-New 52 series when he was partnered with Scarlet.

[@deadpoolrockz6410]

This is the exact same problem with Raiden from Metal Gear Solid, but all it took was to turn him into a cyborg ninja for everyone to love him

[@randomduck8679]

TheBlues32 the original Jason Todd origin is a rip off of dick's. The writers wanted Robin to stay in the batman books but dick was in the new teen Titans book. So they just created Jason Todd to replace him. This one was a part of the circus act the flying todds

Batgirl isn't a surrogate sister to Robin. She's Commissioner Gordon's daughter who just also happens to work with Batman to fight crime. That would be no different than having a romantic interest in a co-worker, which while frowned upon by management and HR isn't creepy or inappropriate.

[@endorbr]

Sonny Joon That's why I said co-worker and not your boss. Yes a boss subordinate relationship, such as if it were Batman and Batgirl for instance (looking at you animated adaptation of The Killing Joke) would be inappropriate because of HR policies and potential sexual harassment claims in a workplace.

Just for accuracies sake joker did not rape Barbra in the Killing Joke. The author Alan Moore has said he did not and it never said the did in the book or following books. Important detail they should not have assumed on. The animated movie implied differently but that because Brian azzarelo wrote (the adaptation) it and he writes most his villains that way... but even with that the producer bruce tim said no to it. So either way no rape in the Killing Joke.It's still plenty messed up without it really. But it rather plot driven

This is beyond stupid. When it comes to fiction writing "inappropriate" is not a thing. You can't limit creative freedom. I tend to enjoy disturbing fictional scenarios that delve into madness or is a metaphor to a point. And to say "Batman is a kid's character", think you don't realize that at the time most of these comics were written, was when a majority of kids did not buy comics. After comics started putting in more mature topics, like tackling drug problems, they successfully got rid of the Comic Book Code Authority and they could not sell comics in regular stores anymore. Comics were sold in dark, out of the way, small stores and brought in more adult readers.

Even in The Dark Knight he's got obviously mentally ill folks working for him (fellow who shoots at the mayor, guy who puts the phone in his gut). This is not anything new to the character.

[@beautyfrompainxxx]

Shawnee Anderson Exactly! It also annoys me how so many people say ' well now that's too far-' when Joker does something as awful as paralyzing Barbara. No, it's not too far, when it comes down to it, the Joker is evil and you can't predict what he's going to do

Inappropriate and appropriate are subjective terms. They mean nothing unless they are being spoken from a certain point of view. The point of the question was to ask why judging culture as "inappropriate" can exist. Nothing happens in the past or future. Everything happens in the present.

[@chrisdavis1721]

Sir Rahmed, be a better parent. Do research. Involve yourself in your child's life and make decisions they are too inexperienced to make.

DC Comics has what I call "Superfriends Syndrome" - the compulsive feeling that they need to overcompensate for the cheesier elements of their history, usually by making overly violent and sometimes inappropriate stories.

[@dilfaddict]

The killing joke is a great comic. It has really good story and it's portrays the real cruel world we are living in.

[@NoahHoulding]

Cool series! Keep them coming

[@vx8431]

Nothing wrong with the Killing Joke it hits kinda home in what Batman was supposed to be a dark and gritty story with horrible people and also she wasn't raped. The Joker came in and shot her in the spine then took the pictures. Same with A Death In The Family it did a great job portraying that Batman lives in a fucked up world. Would be nice if you actually took your time to either read the stories or read up on them at least.

[@rossmumper9817]

Joker didn't rape Batgirl.

[@smilxy2879]

GenesisxoxoxoMSP Vlogs No he didn't. He undressed her and took photos of her. Just because you see him undo her top buttons doesn't mean he raped her.

[@Nasurisu]

Check that out! Is that...cheese? STOP! Good god man! You almost got the cheese touch!

[@GrannyT23]

The more i hear about grant morrison the more i want to read his comics

[@maninblack5783]

That All Star Batman by Frank Miller was the first comic that I picked up when I got into them in the mid-2000's. I became a Marvel fanboy up until I became financially unstable in 2013.

[@KenGutierrez01]

You hate Jason Todd yet you hated him when he was killed.... MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND!

[@ZackAttack2995]

Batman R.I.P is criminally underrated.

[@eve7411]

How is the gay one inappropriate??? If anything it just shows social issues gay women often face, of being told that they can be 'magically converted' if they just 'find the right guy'. Gay themes shouldn't be taboo...

[@Dr.Cosmar]

*Kevin Smith* : Yeah, but, where's your Batman comic? Nerd

[@doodlopend5999]

The killing joke is still my favourite batman comic😤😤😤😤😤😤

[@RemikaOchiai]

Thank you for sharing, keep doing what you do!!!

[@verzeihturncoat27]

What do you expect from Batman? The Batusi? The comics were not meant for children. And Robin having a boner? Why are you shaming him for a body function every teenager has?

[@cheesedtomeetyou8007]

I mean, everybody shits but we don't have to see Robin shitting in a comic. Not every body function has to be shown

[@verzeihturncoat27]

It was not even "shown" just implied and yes going to toilet has been part of all kind of stories if it fit in the story. Why? To make characters more human.

[@fedoramaster6035]

And about characters not going to the bathroom in comics... What about guardians of the galaxy 2 when the “god” Ego pees after bonding with star lord

[@i_am_only_an_insane_person]

Ohh so now girls have d*cks? I mean, some hermaphrodites have them but really? That's kinda sexist y'know? I may not be trans or anything, but I am a proud supporter of the female community.

Me trying to finish the 3-month school project last second in a single night:

[@KeroKaminaX]

The Killing Joke didn't actually have the joker rape barbara he had only stripped her down and taken pictures of her writhing in pain to imply rape when he hadn't actually done anything after shootign her to drive the commissioner insane with anger

[@li-limandragon9287]

Don't worry Ben is just like other people who assume a woman in comics whose just been paralysed *has to be* sexually violated as well. Barbra had enough humiliation.

[@micah4029]

Ok, I thought so. I don't know why so many people say he raped her. I own the comic and I never read it as such. I thought the pictures were just used to further torture Commissioner Gordon.

[@CelticVictory]

I can't say I ever thought Batman would ever become a cautionary tale, but the last Batman sure was.

[@DUDB302]

wasn't batmite in the animated batman series as well but he wasn't a drug fueled hallucination he was from another dimension or something

[@Surreal469]

The two face one sounds like something an evil bad guy would do. How dare they have the bad guy be bad!

[@li-limandragon9287]

Oh for fuck sakes guys for the last time, *Joker did not rape Barbra* he just shot her and stripped her to take photographs to capture her agony and then left her alone. The Joker has no interest in bodily acts like sexual assault.

[@mrten5602]

tell that to Leto's Joker lol

[@li-limandragon9287]

Nah Warner Brothers made it a emo romance.

[@omicrondelta249]

And yet, no matter how many people are about to die we know the Joker will never be killed. Off to Arkham so you can escape and do some more murdering at a later date. Genius.

[@markeastlack4180]

love the list but Batman comics haven't been for kids since the 80s

[@coadacatalin4510]

Well, Robin's reaction to Barbara is perfectly appropriate when you consider his age, the way she's drawn, the situation they were in and the fact that they AREN'T RELATED!

[@litfisto8128]

5:18 How is Batman a character for children? Sure he has action figures and lego sets but ALIEN and Predator have toys and action figures and I doubt those movies are for kids. Have you seen The Dark Knight? Or I don’t know, THE KILLING JOKE?

[@ParanormalEncyclopedia]

Linkara has the right idea about Millar's Batman and Robin. Its not Batman. Its a deranged hobo named Crazy Steve who broke into Wayne manor and stole all the cool shit.

[@lukelelievre754]

It's never said that the joker raped batgirl

[@gen9551]

Pinapple Grenade in the movie he did

[@aurorabarnwell1108]

Narrator: Number two, everything about The Killing Joke. ... ...yeaaaaah.. but it was gud... but yeaaaah

[@Chuckles_The_Echidna]

Yeah. One of my favorites despite what happened in it

[@gas481]

Wow good thing I fact checked a lot of this incorrect information

[@kithall3925]

A 7 odd minute video turning out to be a 7 hour video because of pausing to read and getting lost in the comic strips!
