Batman has also come up with multiple plans to kill Superman. Luthor can respect that.

I like that page in concept but I think the writing is kinda trash with the pointless Batman dicksucking and the way too many words after punching luthor in the face. I like it still though because luthor deserves punches in the face often.

In Squadron Supreme: Hyperion vs Nighthawk, the Batman expy steals the Lex Luthor expy's diary of plans to murder every superhero just so he can mildly inconvenience the Superman expy. It's great.

it's bizarre to me that anyone suspects batman to be maintaining a public life of any kind. even if you accept he's human and not an animistic spirit of vengeance, he could just be living in the sewers like the ninja turtles. also he seems like a pretty busy guy! but i guess now they have many stories of superheroes getting revealed to judge by. wait, why doesn't anyone ever say about their weird co-workers "don't mess with that guy, we think they may be a superhero?" why aren't they doing extensive investigations on everyone who joins all these evil corporations? superheroes don't need to be very common for the idea of someone in your life secretly being one to be in people's minds every day.

The idea of Batman being out all night every single night is a very modern one, they used to play it more realistic.

Patton Oswalt wrote a pretty good one-shot a while back, JLA: Welcome to the Working Week, which is mostly narrated by a guy from Portland who runs a superhero 'zine. At one point, he airs the theory that given Batman's level of funding and tech, he's obviously working for Luthor.

'66 Batman and Green Hornet provided alibis for each other. Though the problem was that people thought Bruce Wayne was the Hornet and vice versa because that's how Batman '66 rolls.

Some people are about to get exploded when the next page of Kill Six Billion Demons comes out as our furious dumbass barista heroine stops being nice and starts getting real: (possibly favorite part of this tournament arc is that the characters were given random, unexplained rankings just like in a manga and Allison's were B/C/SS+) habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Oct 16, 2019 |

Between the various reboots it's become part of his history that for awhile Bruce operated as Batman and people thought Batman was a myth.

I still like the idea that there were myths about Batman. Especially the bit in Scare Tactics where Batman confronts a young vampire girl, and she throws herself on the ground at his feet, apologizes for having come to Gotham without first getting permission, begs him to protect her, and swears that she didn't hunt on his territory. the vampire population of the DC Universe had become convinced that he was a) one of them and b) far more powerful than they were.

There's a guy in my office who looks a hell of a lot like Tom Hardy. Not once have I ever thought he actually is Tom Hardy, because even if you notice they look similar, why would he be working in my office. I always assumed that's how it works for Clark Kent and other heroes.

It never made sense to me that anybody in-universe would even believe there was only one Batman. If there's only one of him, he would be the busiest man in the universe. Second, obviously the Batman who's on the Justice League can't be the same guy who's running around catching street-level bank robbers, how does that make any sense? How would a regular human be on the Justice League? Thirdly, even if there's only one Batman operating at a time, he must have been killed and replaced by a new guy a half-dozen times by this point.

Do you have a special watch that allows you to communicate with Tom Hardy? Did Tom Hardy ever use a transformation machine of his own design to turn you into a black woman?

Sometimes I genuinely feel this way as a reader. All my favorite Batman stories involve him like, solving a regular crime committed by a guy who's face looks weird, using punches to defend himself, and it gets dicey but he triumphs. I really can't connect that with the guy who regularly goes to space, defeats Green Lantern villains, and has enough tech to hold back Superman if he gets mind controlled. And that's even without the omnipresent problem the DC comics have where in theory any superhero could solve their problems by yelling "SUPERMAN, HELP!" at the top of their lungs.
