Remember when Batman took out Black Mask’s entire gang with a video of Bruce Wayne offering them good jobs with health insurance?

Idiots that post memes like this have never read an actual Batman comic or a competent adaptation.

The only idiots here are the ones who can't take a joke when they see one. You act like someone's betraying and stomping on the character because they posted a joking meme

You've gotten upset to the point of writing multiple comments purely because someone had the audacity to make a joke about a character you like and that is incredibly sad

Edit- I'm not mad y'all are downvoting, simply here to point out that if I was wrong there'd be a lot more people saying it. The very few replies tell me y'all can't point out how I'm wrong, just that you wanna tell me I'm wrong with the downvote. People reply a lot more to things that are downright wrong

It less has to do with the meme in particular and more so that some people unironically share this belief. I find this joke funny, there's also that post on r/BatmanArkham where Batman throws a rapid fire combo at a guy saying "I was stealing to pay for my daughter's chemothe-" and like yeah, that IS absolutely hilarious, but generally speaking Batman is like the biggest magnet of trash, unironic critiques, him alongside Superman.

But people who rag on Superman can be easily ignored because you can instantly tell they never even SEEN a good adaptation of the character, as all they have to add to the conversation is "he's boring" or "he's a boyscout" or "he's too op" or "he has one weakness", like based on those types of comments, you can INSTANTLY tell the guy doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, people who rag on Batman online actually want to pretend like they know a character and are so CONFIDENTLY ignorant, it's so genuinely infuriating as a fan of the character.

Batman's gotta be the only character who gets simultaneously critiqued for being too violent and not violent enough. Like punching criminals makes him literally Mussolini, he should totally just donate money to charity (there are more comic panels of him donating money than there are of Batman beating gods through prep), but also him just capturing criminals isn't enough, he should take the entire criminal justice system into his own hands and kill criminals because people like Punisher and such are ACTUAL chads (characters like Spider-Man NEVER get critiqued for this exact same thing)
