Top 10 Weird Things About Batman Comics

4 Trolling Internet forums

Internet forums are well-known for conspiracies. You could say, “Quarters are worth 24cts, not 25cts” or “Aliens Control the Processed Cheese Factories!” It doesn’t matter what crazy claims you make, there is still evidence.

Comics are always evolving to meet the new age and would eventually have to address internet conspiracies. In Batman Incorporated #6, Batman did exactly that. This issue features Batman manipulating internet forums to claim that he is Bruce Wayne. One is that Batman can be multiple people. Another is that Batman could replace Bruce Wayne with a body-double. Although Bruce’s statements may sound crazy, he is probably very smart for putting out so much false information about himself. Despite sounding crazy, Bruce is probably very smart by putting so much misinformation about himself.

3 The Whirly-Bat

Batman must stop crime as quickly as possible, which means he needs a fast vehicle to transport him from one end of Gotham to another. He could use any of his Batmobiles, Bat-planes, Bat-Helicopters, Bat-cycles, and Bat-literally any other vehicle. He seems to have them all. There are so many options available to him that some of them seem absurd.

The Whirly-Bat is one of these ridiculous options! The Detective Comics #257 first featured the Whirly-Bat in 1958. The Whirly-Bat, a small helicopter that can be used to perform aerial surveillance and combat, is one-man. They were destroyed on their first mission, however, so they weren’t very efficient. They were not very efficient, however.
