Wrong!! That joker has a attached face. Worst post ever
NoFather
This isn't comics so much as tv shows or movies. And the old show was cancelled because people stopped watching it. Nostalgia is great, tho.
Scaper1812
The belt on the 60's TV suit pushed everything up, made him look pudgy. If Adam West had the trainers they do now, he'd be huge.

This comic is basically "What the Iron age did to comics in a nutshell" it's just some of them have recovered since.

to be fair, back then the bad guys carried 6 shot revolvers, now they carry bump stocked guns with 1600 ammo

Animated Batmen and Adam West are fun. Other Batmen at not.
EroticZombiePants
Adam West will always be the best Batman. ALWAYS.
fadecomic
Whoever made this never read Batman #1 (1940). Joker was trying to kill everybody then, too.
StanielRonathan
It's a Dorkly comic, they always over generalize to the point of entirely ruining the point or joke they intended to have.

I still wish they had the yellow symbol in the movies

I actually prefer the older style Batman. You can only take a guy running around in a bat suit so seriously. May as well make it campy af.

Now do the comics before this "silver age"

A mix of metals is an alloy
sensoryte
You are right, he's talking about composite metal armor tho. Probably with alloys.
AnotherLowski
Not necessarily. If different parts are made of different materials, then it's made of a mix of metals. eg Aluminum panels and steel joints
Lesbiansass
This is true and I didnt consider this very obvious possibility.

I don't think damian Wayne has died?

He died but was brought back

I don't mean to sound mean here, but how did so many people miss this? It was in like major news outlets
atlasmurphy
lol I'm not sure. I'm an avid comic reader. And I do my best to keep up w the latest batman
rophiandis
No judgement here; we all have weird random blind spots, I'm just surprised there are so MANY comments like yours
perrycRunner
Yea I'm reading metal right now and he isn't dead
addledPunster
Apparently he did die, and then he got better. He also got super powers. Frankenstein helped.
addledPunster
Also: Not a comic book guy, just googled it. Thought it was fake at first, but I guess it's real. Is it still canon? Is canon still a thing?
LeeFenix
It's still canon. And Damien's powers were super temporary. After a fake mission from Bats & JL to test his powers, he ended up losing them.
atlasmurphy
Do you know what series it is??
MollyTheWinterLady
Wait. When did Damien die?
OneTrueSaviour
yes he did, but than they used his grand daddy's revival pool i think
Voicelessmarx
Volume 2 of Batman Inc. Issue 8, but is resurrected in Batman and Robin Vol 2 Issue 38 which was released around 1 or 2 years later.
awakeasleep
Came to ask this too
CoolerBetterFasterStronger
Ever so briefly. They teased Carrie Kelly would replace him but she didnt. He came back after a lot of space magic stuff happened.
Thereisnopatchingstupid
I stopped reading right before that. I heard Damien gained some powers...?
CoolerBetterFasterStronger
very Shortly.
JonestownClassPresident
I don't want Carrie Kelly in any thing except for Dark Knight Returns. She matches that Batman perfectly.

So at one point the Joker had to have commissioned someone to make or paint his board, got called that it was ready, and picked it up.
theIdris
Or made it himself, which is equally funny.

SaltyInternetPirate
You're gonna hate that Henry Cavill legally couldn't shave his for Justice League, because of another movie contract he had.
Knivz
That means there are some amazing mustached Superman photos floating around d somewhere
TheProkrastinator
Couldnt shave it for some re-shoots, legal contract with Mission Impossible 6, they'll digitally remove it though.
CuntingtonFuckley
I love this. Because it's so much easier to digitally remove a moustache than to just wear a fake one
Ynigmatyk
May as well. Based on the trailers I think the whole damn movie is digital CGI

I scored a hard cover Batman comic as a 10/11 y.o. and folks got ganked without prejudice L, R & C. Bleak af, awesome tho.
VinnieJonesDiary
"I scored a hard cover Batman comic as a 10/11 year old & folk got killed without prejudice left, right & center. Very bleak,awesome though"
GeeEm
They're both accurate to the comics of the time period, though.
Asmor
The robin one isn't. There are 3 past robins, all alive, and one current robin (also alive, although a zombie robin would be cool, too)
rophiandis
Jason Todd died, Stephanie brown died, Damian Wayne died. They all got better though, because comics
Fenderzilla
You mean old TV show versus movies now
CargoManshark
Old comics were pretty campy too.
jaminjimmyjames
Like in Batman #1 from 1940, when he lynches that mentally handicapped guy after machine gunning some henchmen.
jrntn
Yeah no.
melancholypanda
Silver age was totally campy. Batman didn't become the broodfest he is today until Dark Knight Returns
dp487
It actually began in the '70s when Neal Adams took over.
jaminjimmyjames
He also became Shirtless Sex God Batman. The rarest of the Batman variants.
JustADumbRename
But Todd died during said camp
SavageHonesty
A Death in the Family came out in 1988. While 29 years is old to whipper snappers, I'm 99% sure Driver is referring to Golden Age Batman.
Libe95
Most likely siver age, golden age batman was the original batman and was pretty violent, silver age is the silly one
JustADumbRename
Are you suggesting 80's Batman was dark and gritty?
dp487
Well, The Killing Joke, The Dark Knight Returns, and A Death in the Family all came out in the '80s.
CargoManshark
He was, thanks mostly to Frank Miller.
Jackoftoys
Depends how old. Original bats was dark AF.
[deleted]

Armored0Titan0
Dude the original Batman literally strangled a guy to death.
MerkinSuit
Original Batman used guns and killed, it was darker than Batman the Animated Series. And thats not the original cartoon. 20 years late.
LimeMime565
Umm no. Bronze age Batman killed guys without a second thought. With guns no less
OneTrueSaviour
*Golden age, bronze age is the current age
TheAngryMarineBiologist
You clearly don't know anything about the original comics
FlamingBlankets
Dude fought vampires and blimps with death rays in the 30s. Wasn't dark AF. Just darker than what came in the silver age.
CargoManshark
Yeah and he straight up murdered people, that's pretty dark.
Discoduck
oooo lookit u all wrong n stuff
Jackoftoys
Murdering mobsters in issue one
FlamingBlankets
And fought giant mutants, vampires, aliens, and had stories involving flowers with human faces. Batman was more willing to use lethal 1/2
CargoManshark
Yeah Golden Age Batman was all murdery, Silver Age was campy and that's the era of comics that coincides with the TV show.
rophiandis
Golden age Batman was "murdery" for about a year and a half
TheTrekkieWhovian
The comic was changed to go along with the tv show in hopes that the comics would increase sales. it did just the opposite.
CargoManshark
That and the Comics Code starting a few years prior. All Silver Age comics were pretty campy thanks to that.
NineByNine
Modern version ranges from real great to "WHY THE FUCK IS BATMAN KILLING PEOPLE WITH GUNS!?". Adam West ver was just silly goofy.
ReallyGoodBee
The writers for the Batman show didn't think anybody would be interested in seeing a comic book character, so they made it into a spoof.
NineByNine
Well, they may not have been wrong. It was still glorious. TBF my favourite batman is still the 90s animated series.

dyc3r
BvS needed an origin story. I understand not wanting to tell the "This is how I became a Bat" story again, but at least give us something to
dyc3r
set up why Bats went off the deep end. Death in the Family could have done that.
StanielRonathan
That's literally Man of Steel. The entire hate boner he has for Superman is from the events of Man of Steel. A set of events audiences...
StanielRonathan
had already panned as a scale of destruction entirely out of Superman's character, he wouldn't plow through the city with complete abandon.
EADimgur
To be fair, in Man of Steel, that Sups is just getting use to his powers really and Zod is the first SUPER threat he has ever fought before.
DomineSatanas
I mean, some people got that, with the robin suit, but yeah, still a shite movie.
dyc3r
The people that got it aren't the people WB is trying to impress. That was the movie's biggest problem (one of them, anyway)...
dyc3r
Too much dependency on prior knowledge of the characters and their stories. If WB wants to compete with the MCU, they need to bring in more

*shudder* Dark times for everyone :(
DoublevBomb
When I went to see Wonder Woman, I resigned myself to the fact that there'd be a Syndering. Thankfully it only lasted ~10 min.
DoublevBomb
Everything great before it was still great, and the section where it happened was disappointing, but generally ignorable in the end.
NineByNine
I didn't even know there was a Syndering in the WW film. That's been getting great reviews, I still wanna see it.
NineByNine
V. glad to know it doesn't ruin the film too :D
wlfman
I have 0 problem with a Batman who kills when people get in his way of fighting a bigger threat - or leaves people to die, etc.
NineByNine
The term for that is "Technical Pacifist". And yes, me neither. But like, doing that then claiming Supes is too reckless and kills people?
NineByNine
like, come the fuck on, bruce, i know you're a rich white techbro but fuckin' knock off the hypocrisy, k?
wlfman
not that being calculated makes it ok, just that the scale is incredibly important
wlfman
in terms of numbers, Superman and Zod killed millions across the planet - and Supes could kill many more easily - Batman is more calculated
NineByNine
i'm sure those explosive rounds were super calculated to make sure there was no risk whatsoever of collateral damage and innocents hurt.
NineByNine
for real though Batman V Superman is a mess film because it's a frankenstein's monster of various sources. and Snyder sucks at directing.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
I've heard that the Director's Cut added scenes that made the movie make more sense. Scenes that should have never been cut...
NineByNine
He's great at individual scenes, but useless at stringing them together into a coherent, good, interesting story.
ElSephiroth
Batman used to kill people in the old version. It s a recent comic that stated he doesn t out of the blue.
terrasono
Not to mention by pure accident some of these guys he hits have to die from concussions alone.
KingKrown
What? Recent? Batman has been doing the "no kill" thing for like 40+ years. You're very wrong.
dyc3r
"Recent" is relative. I'm fairly certain that he's been anti gun/killing for most of his life now.
ElSephiroth
really depends on the writer, sometimes he just pushes people in very killing places (like acid), sometimes he uses molotov or magic....
realskramz
What the main batman doesnt shoot and kill people since the 40s
Pryotra
He may not use a gun normally, but he has killed in other ways.
realskramz
early comics sure but there a very few examples in modern comics (mostly b/c bad writing). Heroes don't kill, that's a big deal imo.
Pryotra
The narrative on what is heroic has changed. It used to just mean beating the Bad Guys and Saving the Day. Now, the concept is more nuanced.
evilkittie
Does the batman in the flash point paradox count? Bruce's dad was batman in it and he used guns, I don't recall any kill shots, but...
JustWantToPostThisMeme
Oh, there's kill shots. One that the story requires.
realskramz
No, the main Batman is Bruce Wayne from the main comic story line.
Azaer
Nah different person, and a feliberate foil to Batman's no killing rule
