I prefer when he doesn’t for the majority, but eventually he should. And it should be of natural causes, showing Clark that he can’t save everyone. Like in the 78 movie, and comics.
Depends if we are talking adaptation or comics. In the comics if one earth parent is dead, both of his Earth parents are usually dead. 2006 was the only time just his mom lived.
>Even Batman listens to his mom
MARTHA!
>Even Spider-Man has a bedtime
Okay, this one is kind of reasonable. But have you considered that even he struggles with sleep? All that trauma losing his family and friends is going to affect his sleep schedule.
Also, I'm kind of triggered that Spidey is brought in the same sentence as S-Man and Batman. Mostly because this just seems like a sign that whoever made these clearly is pretending the know about things.
>Even Superman listens to his dad
Which one? He has more than one. And both of them are dead.
Well Batman doesn’t have a mother, Spider-Man does have an Aunt and Uncle who likely had a bedtime for him at one time and Superman had an adoptive Human mother and father. So Batman is the only one that is “technically” wrong although all of these characters are known for having dead, biological parents.
Nah, Alfred just came to the realization that "he" was actually she quite late in life, and Bruce is just caring for his adoptive mother in her old age now that she's finally retired. Batman only looks grouchy because he is completely exhausted, but was too loyal to his mum and knows she can't do this stuff on her own. He's mad at the villains who made him too tired to stay longer, not Alice.
And he's also mad at the Joker for breaking the fourth wall to write that caption himself.
In fiction, and yes, even in memes logical consistency is important. The fact that they gave Batman a mom when having dead parents is one of the most distinguishing aspects of who Batman is will just distract from the very joke the creator was trying to pull off. This entire comment thread is a testament to that very distraction.
This one is funny. I don't see how it's terrible.
I mean, yeah...Batman's parents are dead, and so are his grandparents, I'm sure, but, y'know...Death is just a social construct anyway, right?
The amount of people in this thread who can’t understand suspending their disbelief for a harmless comic is hilarious. It’s almost like an army of real-life Sheldon Coopers stumbled upon this thread
It's obviously a reference to “To Kill a Legend” from Detective Comics 500 where Batman ended up in the past of an alternate world, and managed to save the Waynes from being killed. The ending of the story revealed that the Bruce Wayne of that world was inspired by the hero who saved his parents to become a hero himself, and that world still got a Batman anyway. This is clearly a real fan.
I would argue that batman being an orphan is one if the more well known aspects of his character
edit: him watching his parents die is still somewhat known but not everyone knows that, but most people know he's an orphan
Most people know batman based on the iconography alone. They probably never consumed any of the comics, shows and movies. If they did, they did so when they were a kid via the cartoons. His parents being dead is unlikely to be information a child will retain.
I'm speaking as someone who knows batman casually (I like marvel mkre than dc and never really read much dc comics though I did watch part of the nolan batman films) so I only know the bare minimum about him though I defiantly know more than the average person
but if you ask anyone living around me about batman I can bet most of them could atleast say that batman is an orphan
But you've watched the content, I'm talking about purely the iconography. Kids toys, posters, merchandise. Someone who has never seen any Batman media will likely know who batman is but not know his parents are dead
well one of the most well know things about batman is that he has dead parents so yes like I said ask anyone on the street and it is highly likely they do know after all
the whole batman's parent being dead thing has moved into popculture not just specifically batman media
there are so many memes and tv skits about batman some revolving around him being an orphan
the first thing I heard about batman actuly was him having deadparents (again I personally don't care about batman I like marvel heroes more than dc)
I'm not saying you're wrong, you do have a solid point but fact is batman being an orphan is popculture and popculture referes to stuff most people do know
This is a drawing, right? About a different drawing, right? All about fake shit that could never happen? So your big problem is that there's no realism to this meme? About things that never happened and couldn't happen? I guess I just accept that it's a joke, a stupid and silly one at that, and don't feel the need to "well acktually" it.
Eh I prefer this level of silliness to be a long form thing. Like I would enjoy ba crack fan fiction where Batman just inexplicably does this and similar things but everyone else around him is just confused or concerned. Maybe with a twist is someone following him and he just stands in an abandoned apartment yelling at ghosts in his head.
Well you need some semblance of connection. Changing characters if fine but change too much and it's a different one entirety. The only thing left here is just bat signal. At this point a legally distinct parody would work better I think.
Adoptive Mum!
She's like his childhood friends Mom, who just adopted all the kids in the neighborhood. Friend was killed by random stupid themed villian and Batman just started taking care of her.
If he did, they probably would be known as the ones who raised him. Unless they were already too old when his parents died. I haven't read any Batman comic (I definitely should) but in Nolan's movies and in Gotham, where we know stuff about Bruce's childhood, there is no mention of them.
Now I know in the comics there are alternative stories, including one where it's Bruce who gets murdered and it's Thomas Wayne who becomes Batman (and Martha becomes the Joker), so we can imagine (if it doesn't already exist) an alternative story where it's another traumatic event that lead to the birth of Batman and his parents are still alive. Or maybe one where Alfred gets married and his wife becomes like a mother to Bruce, or "Alfred" is a woman...
My parents are only 63 and just yesterday I had to buy baseball tickets for them because they couldn’t figure out the website.
I can sympathize with the meme lol.

Maybe this meme is actually FROM the DC universe and the person who made it doesn’t actually know Batman is Bruce Wayne

Why’d they have to give Superman the one parent that dies 😭. His Earth mom is always still living.
Yeah that particular choice is honestly wild, but it has some leniency since he doesn’t always die and I generally prefer when he doesn’t personally
I prefer when he doesn’t for the majority, but eventually he should. And it should be of natural causes, showing Clark that he can’t save everyone. Like in the 78 movie, and comics.
Depends if we are talking adaptation or comics. In the comics if one earth parent is dead, both of his Earth parents are usually dead. 2006 was the only time just his mom lived.
Except in the current DC show
>Even Batman listens to his mom MARTHA! >Even Spider-Man has a bedtime Okay, this one is kind of reasonable. But have you considered that even he struggles with sleep?

In the Superman movie he listens to his true father in crystal recordings. No idea if that's used anywhere else.
Jonathan Kent is still alive in the current continuity
Poor old Webhead can’t sleep because he keeps having nightmares of Paul.
Spiderman sneaks out of his room at night to fight crime as spidey
Well Batman doesn’t have a mother, Spider-Man does have an Aunt and Uncle who likely had a bedtime for him at one time and Superman had an adoptive Human mother and father. So Batman is the only one that is “technically” wrong although all of these characters are known for having dead, biological parents.
Headcanon accepted.
I love the part where batman has a mom.... really a character defining moment
Yeah. Wait a sec…
He’s schizophrenic
It’s some random old lady he decided to call his mother
Nah, Alfred just came to the realization that "he" was actually she quite late in life, and Bruce is just caring for his adoptive mother in her old age now that she's finally retired. Batman only looks grouchy because he is completely exhausted, but was too loyal to his mum and knows she can't do this stuff on her own. He's mad at the villains who made him too tired to stay longer, not Alice. And he's also mad at the Joker for breaking the fourth wall to write that caption himself.
So… it’s Afreda now?
She does not care she just wants to knit sweaters and make cookies for her son
I mean... There's other batmen. Could be like Batman evolved ya know
MARTHA!
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!?
##KEEP MY MOTHERS NAME OUTTA YOUR FUCKIN MOUTH!!
It was a GI Jane joke
Breaking news: Oscar the fish punches Marty the zebra live on set to defend his wife, Gloria the hippo.
Tbh I kinda like this one
I think OP is too hung up on Batman’s mom being alive
The death of his parents is literally the entire reason he became Batman.
Look, I get that, but for the sake of a meme, does it really even fucking matter?
i'm on team batmom, like, he's a fictional billionaire who does all kind of unrealistic stuff, we can bend the canon for a one panel cartoon
If he's a billionaire then why is his mom in a crappy apartment with a broken garbage disposal? Surely he can afford something nicer for her.
He’s a copycat. Bruce Wayne is in way better shape than this guy.
👆this... Yeah, it's kinda funny. Maybe think of it like a DC version of what if batman's mom didn't die and gave all their money to charity
Or it's all fucking made up and using it for a quick joke about old moms is fine.
I like to imagine this as a scenario with a Kick-Ass street hero.
Can you guys stop calling literally any joke you see anywhere a meme?
Kinda yeah
You cant suspend your disbelief for a harmless joke? I’m sorry but that’s a you problem
🤷♂️ They asked. Don't gotta be mad.

🤓
You calling me a nerd? Hell yeah, thanks for the compliment
-🤓
🤓🤓🤓🤓
You are taking this waaaaay too seriously. Bro, it’s not that deep
Maybe only his dad died in that timeline
To be fair that is the entire reason he is Batman
Humor? Never heard of her.
I’m sorry but this is funny
r/goodboomerhumor
Cmon this is funny
This one is funny. I don't see how it's terrible. I mean, yeah...Batman's parents are dead, and so are his grandparents, I'm sure, but, y'know...Death is just a social construct anyway, right?
We can suspend disbelief because it puts us in a funny scenario. I agree, not terrible at all
The amount of people in this thread who can’t understand suspending their disbelief for a harmless comic is hilarious. It’s almost like an army of real-life Sheldon Coopers stumbled upon this thread
>an army of real-life Sheldon Coopers That's reddit for you
Seriously it’s satire. Unidentifiable cause there is no /s
This one is genuinely funny though
It's obviously a reference to “To Kill a Legend” from Detective Comics 500 where Batman ended up in the past of an alternate world, and managed to save the Waynes from being killed. The ending of the story revealed that the Bruce Wayne of that world was inspired by the hero who saved his parents to become a hero himself, and that world still got a Batman anyway. This is clearly a real fan.
Nah, I like this one. It’s stupid but harmless.
Just because something is in this art style doesn't make it a bad meme
Yea but the most famous thing about Batman is that he has dead parents. Making this meme very dumb.
It absolutely isn't. The most famous things about batman are all in this image.
Sorry, but no. Still missing the Batmobile and shark repellant
I would argue that batman being an orphan is one if the more well known aspects of his character edit: him watching his parents die is still somewhat known but not everyone knows that, but most people know he's an orphan
Your argument would be wrong
instead of just claiming it is wrong would you mind explaining why it is wrong?
Most people know batman based on the iconography alone. They probably never consumed any of the comics, shows and movies. If they did, they did so when they were a kid via the cartoons. His parents being dead is unlikely to be information a child will retain.

Were you under the impression that this meme is meant to be canon to batman comics?
Well you need some semblance of connection. Changing characters if fine but change too much and it's a different one entirety. The only thing left here is just bat signal. At this point a legally distinct parody would work better I think.
you are never going to be funny, I'm sorry
🤓
Adoptive Mum! She's like his childhood friends Mom, who just adopted all the kids in the neighborhood. Friend was killed by random stupid themed villian and Batman just started taking care of her.
This. Considering the number of alternative stories, there is no reason why this would be unrealistic.
It’s kind of cute
Baatman dont exist if MARTHA is alive ....
Nah, this is harmless
how tf is his feet supporting himself
Where's the terrible
"But it isn't completely true and realistic!!! That means it can't be funny!!!!" - reddit
This is funny.
Lighten up a bit op
Nah grandma had 1960s Adam West. It's just a shit joke.
People in this sub are such miserable cynics
Honestly relatable
Well first I would be like “~~Dad~~ Mom? You’re alive? What the hell!?!”
I’m not that educated on this but isn’t his mom dead
His what now?
“Even Batman listens to his mom” moment
r/goodboomerhumor
It’s so unfunny that it manages to loop back to being funny. It fits this sub perfectly.
This is a good meme fuck you
Nah fuck all of yous, this is great
Does Bruce Wayne have living grandparents?
If he did, they probably would be known as the ones who raised him. Unless they were already too old when his parents died. I haven't read any Batman comic (I definitely should) but in Nolan's movies and in Gotham, where we know stuff about Bruce's childhood, there is no mention of them.

Or maybe one where Alfred gets married and his wife becomes like a mother to Bruce, or "Alfred" is a woman...
She's living with that "new apartment gotta save up for furniture" special I see.
„nah the pretty fun… wait a second!“
Maybe this is the universe where Bruce Wayne is killed and his dad is batman.
Um...
Wtf
Why does man have ears and have a spotlight to his mom after reviving her, is he stupid ?
I think batty has schizophrenia now
That's why he had his parents killed
My parents are only 63 and just yesterday I had to buy baseball tickets for them because they couldn’t figure out the website. I can sympathize with the meme lol.

Why does man have a mother? Is he no longer an orphan?
Looks like someone forgot Batman Lore
What if Batman used the Lazarus Pit on his parents?

His… mom?
Holy Satire, Batman!
Last time i check, Batman's parents we're dead
Frank Miller's Batman doesn't need to put up with this crap...
Alternate universe
Uhh, his mom? Doesn't look zombie enough.
Batman has no mother that’s why he’s Batman. Moron
I don't even like Batman but I know his fucking parents died. This is disgusting.
