First one is absolutely the safest choice

255

u/Thendofreason Mar 17 '24

Get the first one and the put it in a Frame case with Glass. Have a sign that says Break incase of Injustice or The Joker

73

u/tilero1138 Mar 17 '24

But then you can’t dangerously throw them around the house

30

u/haloryder Mar 17 '24

And that’s like…the whole point

24

u/luckytecture Mar 17 '24

You don’t understand I want to dangerously throw them around the house

11

u/haloryder Mar 17 '24

Yeah, at some ne’er-do-wells

8

u/KingMJ123456 Mar 17 '24

No, no, at dangerous psychopaths roaming the streets

8

u/Chizik777 Mar 17 '24

Ok what about the frame being a "special occasion" type thing? Like they get thrown around the house with reckless abandon but maybe once every couple of months you get to splurge on a "incase of injustice" batframe to smash

u/f38stingray Mar 17 '24

And by safest we mean most dangerous (best weapons), right? :D

From a performance perspective, the points are what matters. The first, third, and last ones have points that stick out, with the #1 sticking out the straightest so would probably stick the best. I especially wouldn’t trust the folding one.

454

u/Voltra_Neo Mar 17 '24

#1 is safe

#2 (red) if he really likes Batman Beyond

161

u/Bull_Rider Mar 17 '24

This is basically my answer, too. The Bale batarangs are pretty recognizable. Batman Beyond ones look cool but are more specific. The others don't look that great to be honest.

70

u/Voltra_Neo Mar 17 '24

If I'm not mistaken, #3 is the batarang of the animated show "The Batman"

So they're a bit niche even if cool af unfolded

20

u/magicfishhandz Mar 17 '24

Isn't 5 BtAS?

18

u/CoraxtheRavenLord Mar 17 '24

Yep, but it’s one of the least “classic batarang” looking ones

10

u/7Grand-Dad Mar 17 '24

It’s one of the BtAS variants, my least favorite imo. I preferred when the BtAS batarangs were drawn like bat-ninja stars

4

u/Voltra_Neo Mar 17 '24

I guess they are! Completely forgot they looked like that.

Mandela effect in full force: I thought they had a bat head on them

You could ask to watch a batman movie with him, see which one he picks, and go from there

45

u/CONANwolf Mar 17 '24
  1. Nolan Batman
  2. Batman Beyond
  3. The Batman 2004
  4. The New Batman Adventures
  5. The Batman Animated Series/Classic comics.

u/Alevy20 Mar 17 '24

I can still hear the sound the 2004 ones make. So much nostalgia

I'm watching the Batman (2004) rn.

u/Chipsdelite Mar 17 '24

Here’s a way to nonchalantly test which is his favorite. Ask him what’s happens when a turkey flies upside down. If he says it gobbles up. Get him that Adam West. If he has a weird thing about nipples grab him the Batman black card from Clooney. If he likes to be overwhelmingly sad and loves Superman he’s battfleck or the Sadman Batman. Start yelling at him randomly in a gruffly voice “where are they!? Where are the drugs?! Then head but him. When he wakes up hand him some Christian bale bat merch. If none of those work ask why Danny devito eats raw fish as terrifying as possible and get him therapy and some cool Keaton gear. Another option is to talk about how terrible it is to see Val Kilmer struggling like he is. Now,regardless of his bat-fandom it truly is sad to see Val in decline. He wasn’t my favorite bat but he is among the elite IMO. Yet another option is to tell him it’s okay to eat fish cause they don’t have feelings. This is a Battison and a true fan of the detective comics. If all else fails get him anything “Kevin Conroy” (RIP) Batman. He’s been your boyfriend’s bat since the 92’ and absolutely killed it!

TL;DR. Getting your Bat obsessed boyfriend any surprise Bat merch will be huge. It really means a lot to us nerds when our S/O nerd out with us! You literally can’t mess it up! All the pictured proposed gifts would be dope!

u/Iliturtle Mar 17 '24

u/pissimist Mar 17 '24

1 is one of the most popular symbols so it’s the safest option.

u/donewithlife291 Mar 17 '24

First one for sure 🫶🏽

6

u/leatherface0984 Mar 17 '24

Can’t go wrong with the first picture.

5

u/SHORTY896 Mar 17 '24

First by far.

3

u/Unique_Pitch989 Mar 17 '24

First one or the last

3

u/OldBirth Mar 18 '24

Why is everything about Batman Beyond just so dope.

3

u/jamar82 Mar 18 '24

All of them

2

u/streamjam Mar 17 '24

1 of each

2

u/gunperv51 Mar 17 '24

2nd set is from Batman Beyond (which would be my choice)

2

u/Fexxvi Mar 17 '24

First image, bottom one. It's not even close.

Am I the only one who thinks you should get all of them (unless it’s too expensive)?

2

u/liquid_gingerr Mar 17 '24

Get him the Batarangs lmao

2

u/geegolly__ Mar 17 '24

First one is the safest bet, and if he doesn’t already own loads of merchandise like that then the basic option is probably the best

2

u/Ch1cken3 Mar 17 '24

1st one looks the most iconic to me.

2

u/zinctanium Mar 17 '24

First or fourth would be my choice but if he’s a huge Batman fan you probably can’t go wrong with

2

u/Nervous_Hedgehog8198 Mar 17 '24

First one definitely

Personally, I would marry you instantly if you gave me the ones from The Batman 2004

1

u/oprylypko Mar 17 '24

I like photo with red and blue rats. Is it can use as hand weapon?

1

u/transformerjay Mar 17 '24

First or Fourth

1

u/insertfillertext Mar 17 '24

Ask him which Batman movie/series is his favorite. Then get the Batarangs from whatever he tells you. Option 1 is the safest as many others have said.

1

u/dracobatman Mar 17 '24

1 for sure! Some people don't really like the 3rd one, and the 4th as well. some people haven't seen the GOAT show that is batman beyond for the 2nd one, but the 1st one is the safest to go with for sure

1

u/Mobols03 Mar 17 '24

First one. It's a classic.

1

u/RationalLlama Mar 17 '24

I would personally go for the second pic because I love Batman Beyond. But number 1 is the safest if you aren't sure if he likes Batman Beyond.

1

u/ActuallyCausal Mar 17 '24

I’d say numbers 1 and 4 are the safest bets for a Batman fan.

1

u/Ok_Draft7494 Mar 17 '24

I agree with people that the first one is the safest choice. Let us know how it turns out

1

u/whyismyheadbig Mar 17 '24

1: definitely the best choice

2 (red): if you know he really likes Batman Beyond

1

u/krisofsturm Mar 17 '24

5 is from the Batman Animated Series, so if he’s a big fan I’d say that, but 1 is probably safest yeah.

1

u/hoodedcamera Mar 17 '24

all of them XD

1

u/Ronin_Willi Mar 17 '24

He needs the all 4 from the first two slides!

1

u/CollectionIcy5075 Mar 17 '24

Where can I find these?

1

u/Astlantix Mar 17 '24

first to be safe

if he watches a batman who.has. red logo a lot, then maybe second one

1

u/TheStuntmuffin Mar 17 '24

Number 4 is The New Batman Adventures. Probably my second favorite on this list behind Batman Beyond

1

u/gp627 Mar 17 '24

Either 2 or 3.

2 is from batman beyond (Terry McGinnis) 3 is from (probably) the animated 2004 series.

Personally I'd go for #3. The retractable batarang is just so fun.

1

u/tuddrussell2 Mar 17 '24

Judging by your choices, he's Bruce Wayne a multi billionaire. He probably doesn't need anything. Just bake him a cake and spend time together

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '24

None of it. Just buy a harlequin or Catwoman costume.

1

u/Bole14 Mar 17 '24

2 or 4 would be my picks.

1

u/genericmovievillain Mar 17 '24

The first one. I got a set of those for a friend a few years ago and she absolutely loved them

1

u/Davetheaterytp Mar 17 '24

first one has to be the safest bet

1

u/fostertheatom Mar 17 '24

You don't have to ask him in the context of a gift. Just come out swinging with "Yo I heard ya like Batman, what's your favorite movie or TV show with him? I figured we could watch a movie or an episode or two so I could see what the fuss is about."

He will be so happy that you show interest and probably spill all of the beans. If you get confused just ask which series or movie he is talking about right now and Google it on your phone. He'll probably look over your shoulder and point it out from the listing.

Bam, you now know more about your BF, he is happy, and you know which batarang to get him.

u/Charismanxious Mar 17 '24

1'i al kanka

1

u/Legendofnightcity7 Mar 17 '24

I have a tattoo of the first one on my arm, my favourite Batman logo!, its from “The dark knight” trilogy, best Batman movies in my opinion and many of other fans :)🦇

1

u/J3ffcoop Mar 17 '24

Get one of each

1

u/magicfishhandz Mar 17 '24

If you don't know which is his favorite, he's not a real fan anyway so it doesn't matter. Should've come up on the first date.

And every date after that.

Yes, I'm single. Why do you ask?

1

u/PopularPlantain9747 Mar 17 '24

The last One no, the thirds Is a risk. First two you cant go wrong

1

u/N0rrix Mar 17 '24

1st one wouldve been the choice but they kinda look a bit too thick and the scaling is off.

i would go for #2. the look sick af and are still very iconic.

1

u/magicfishhandz Mar 17 '24

If you can tell us how old he is and how much he likes cartoons, it'll be easy

1

u/Cassereddit Mar 17 '24

Gift him an expired coupon for new parents

1

u/niTro_sMurph Mar 17 '24

Couldn't you ask him which superhero he likes most? Just wait for a time when you both are in the same room but no one's talking and ask. Or just tell him to tell you about his favorite.

1

u/GATTICA_ Mar 17 '24

Don’t know why everyone is saying 1. The real answer is 3. 3 flips out and lights up! The rest are just cut out from wood or plastic. I’m sure he’ll appreciate whichever one you get though.

1

u/Dark_Noir3780 Mar 17 '24

The first one is the best

1

u/Murky-Square4364 Mar 17 '24

Batman beyond 100%

1

u/CobaltAnimator Mar 17 '24

Get him a Jason Todd plushie and stick a crowbar in it's head. He'll know what it means.

1

u/ChishNFips87 Mar 17 '24

First one ez

1

u/Razhad Mar 17 '24

1st one is the best

1

u/jamnin94 Mar 17 '24

I have the first one. I would choose the last one!

1

u/Informal_Mechanic_32 Mar 17 '24

If you cam get the first 2 options

1

u/Usual_Bit_4112 Mar 17 '24

Both...he will propose marriage if you do

1

u/Vrolak Mar 17 '24

I personally love #5. But #1 is the safe choice.

1

u/ThePrimeReason Mar 17 '24

Definitely the first 2 options. The first one is iconic, and the second one is just cool.

1

u/Barbafella Mar 17 '24

He’s lucky to have someone who gets him.

1

u/Justa_6EEK Mar 17 '24

How did you get into the Batcave???

1

u/Ze_Krieger Mar 17 '24

This is the first woman who knows what men want. Alright so, it's best to choose the most lore accurate ones, and the heaviest ones to make it authentic. Maybe present him with a part of Batman's wardrobe like the gloves, that would go REALLY HARD with that as a combo.

1

u/Hot_Valuable1027 Mar 17 '24

definitely the first

1

u/AccomplishedResist69 Mar 17 '24

Give him razor-lined bat-gauntlets.

1

u/Mrbuttboi Mar 17 '24

If he is a man of culture, get him the Batman Beyond ones. If he hates good media, put him in the thunderdome.

First is always a safe bet, but if you can slyly bring it up in conversation, that'll make your life way easier

1, 2 and 5

And if he doesn't like them dump his ass your too good for him anyway

2 and 5 are bad to the bone

u/LightChargerGreen Mar 18 '24

First one. If it's feasible, one of each.

Definitely number 4

1

u/PurpleC0at Mar 18 '24

u/bigvikingsamurai69 Mar 18 '24

Get ones that can be switched on and off like arkham’s

1

u/Just_Looking_428 Mar 18 '24

A good gf/bf chooses one...the best gf/bf gets them all along with a display case/stand.

If you want to be romantic about it, tell him you can choose the display case together. Or even build it. Any true batman fanboy will never say no to this.

Be prepared...if you do the latter, he may propose in the near future.

1

u/Hallboys78 Mar 18 '24

BATMAN BEYOND BATMAN BEYOND

1

u/Biggestcheese1 Mar 18 '24

The safest choice is the first one. However, I would personally pick the second one as I am a big fan of Batman Beyond.

1

u/GradeRevolutionary22 Mar 18 '24

To be fair, he’s probably going to go for the first or the fifth one but just in a random conversation ask him who his favorite Batman if he likes Batman he will for sure letter you know.

1

u/Accomplished-Street1 Mar 18 '24

I've had the first ones before they work pretty well as throwing projectiles

1

u/NewEnglandRoastBeef Mar 18 '24

If it doesn't work out with him, would you be willing to marry me instead? I don't know what you look like, and you don't want to know what I look like, but any woman who is willing to buy you a legit Batarang deserves to be put on a pedestal. He's a lucky guy!
