The Dark Knight, With Trikes
Even with toy cars and low-budget costumes, this kid-produced version of The Dark Knight is strangely haunting, and the actors are adorably earnest. Don't miss the tension-filled moment around 1:15, where Batman whizzes past the joker on his tricycle. (Thanks, Stupid Videos!)Batman and Bush — Actually More Alike Than Knight and Day?
If you caught The Dark Knight already, you might want to go back for a second look — did you know you may have been watching a flick all about George W. Bush? According to this WSJ op-ed, it's true: There seems to me no question that the Batman film The Dark Knight, currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W.
Do, Dump, or Marry?
Plain and simple, Christian Bale makes my heart go pitter-patter! And even though I'm not a fan of comic book movie remakes, I'll gladly sit through three hours of Bale on the big screen in The Dark Knight! I know some people can't get the thought of American Psycho out of their heads when thinking of him, but without reservation, I'd do Christian Bale in a heartbeat!
Flashback: Batgirl Wants a Pay Raise
Newsflash: Batman was not only a degrading husband, but a sexist employer to boot. In the following PSA for the Federal Equal Pay Law, Batgirl argues that she's underpaid and deserves to earn the same wages as Robin. Although Batgirl's timing is a bit manipulative — a ticking bomb is about to blow Batman a new one and she's his only hope for escape — girlfriend's request is warranted.
"Batman" Is Having a Midlife Maturity Crisis
It's painfully obvious that Batman's wife left him cuz he's an emotionally underdeveloped tool with the hobbies and interests of a small child. If this tone-deaf rendition of "Patience" by Guns 'n' Roses was intended to bring this manchild's lost love back, then our downtrodden hero needs to hop in his batmobile and ride off into the Gotham City sunset — cuz it's so over.
Batman: Good Crime-Fighter, Bad Husband
This appeared in a 1959 Batman comic titled, "The Marriage of Batman and Batwoman." Once Bruce Wayne disclosed his superhero secret to his new wife, she wanted in on the action. I sure hope the scene above is depicting our newlyweds in the act of role-playing with Batman posing as The Joker for a change.
Saturday Morning Cartoon: Batman and Robin On the Chase
Holy Manhole! "In the name of decent citizens everywhere," stop and watch the dynamic duo fight crime and take time to unrealistically abide by street safety rules. You'd think their stalling would work against them, but thanks to the convenient manhole located smack in the middle of street, the Joker ain't the last one laughing and the crime fighting goody-goodies effortlessly save the day!
Batman: Up to No Good Again
The last time we caught up with Batman, he was throwing punches at some random dude on Hollywood Boulevard while waiting for the cops to show up. Here he is again getting arrested over a porta-potty dispute in the same location. I guess superheroes have needs too, but couldn't it have waited, Batman?
Which of These Is Not Like The Others?
It's the vest. If he had a cape, he'd be a hyper-masculine bad ass in no time.

Flashback: Holy Siamese Human Knot, Batman!
Back in the day, this was considered "action-packed" television? Awkward and uncomfortably staged is more like it. And if this "Siamese Human Knot" is Batman's idea of torture, then what kind of sheltered "superhero" are we following here?
