It's chai latte season, which means it's doodling on coffee lids season
Does anyone have that post of all the bat kids getting interviewed about why Batman’s mask shows half his face? And they all have different reasons like “so little kids won’t be afraid of him”, or “so he can drink hot chocolate on patrol”, and then one of them says “so the cops know he’s white”?
If you could send me that post or link it here I would be eternally grateful.
Bat Burger headcanons that no one asked for:
- Bat Burger has always been open late, but in commemoration of Signal's crime fighting debut it began operating 24/7.
- Condiment King has a vendetta against the Creative Director, Fatima Lòpez because she refuses to make a menu item themed after him or utilize his likeness in any way.
- Villainous Venom is a flavor of Mountain Dew that is exclusive to Bat Burger. It does not contain any of the actual Venom drug, but it does have ungodly amounts of sugar and at least a few known carcinogens (but idk, isn't that true of all Mountain Dew??)
- Maxie Zeus inspired a limited menu of Greek food including "The Gyro Gotham Deserves."
- The shakes are actually really good for a fast food place and they have 52 different options for toppings, but the ice cream machine is always broken.
- There's an urban legend about the burger patties having trace amounts of guano in them. The USDA has never found these claims to be true, but they have yet to test the Robin Nuggets so, who's to say?
- Every hound can be a Bat Hound and take a bite out of crime with pup-friendly Bat Bones available in peanut butter, liver, and chicken flavors.
(Mostly I just wanted to show off the Bat Burger logo that I spent 3 hours rendering, but please feel free to add your own headcanons!)
Whoever came up with the black turtleneck as the official Bruce Wayne costume was on another level. Not because it’s visually appealing, but just for the fact that Bruce found one (1) item of clothing that he liked and decided to Wear That Everyday.
Batman will be awake for 5 consecutive days and be like “I trained with such-and-such sect of monks in the secluded mountains of wherever, and by increasing the duration of my blinks by .035% I’ve eradicated the need for REM sleep.”
Meanwhile, Alfred is in the background loading a rifle with horse tranquilizers, muttering “Very good sir.”

I don't pretend to be a digital artist, but was legally obligated to do a panel re-draw of Jason from Batman Annual #10. The hair was so curly, and the face was so baby.
Superman Annual #11 (1985)
There's no heterosexual explanation for this.
Superman Annual #11 (1985)
It's Superman's birthday and this rich idiot bought him flowers. This is the most romantic thing Batman has ever done for anybody. 😂😂
Batman Creature of the Night
I waited almost an entire calendar year for this volume to come out, but boy, was it worth the wait!
Set outside of DC continuity, and outside of the comics world itself, we meet a young Bruce Wainwright, living in Boston in 1968 with his soon to be murdered parents. Bruce is, of course, a fan of the caped crusader, and is not unaware of the similarities that exist between them.
The whole conceit of this story is that it takes place in the “real world”, which makes it all the more frightening when Bruce’s comic book hero, quite literally, come crashing into his life. But what is this monstrous batman? A hallucination? The delusion of a traumatized child? Or something else all together? As young Wainwright grows into his inheritance, shepherded by his Uncle Alf, his dark Tulpa does its dark work on the streets of the city. At night, his mind flies on black wings, and though he sees through the red eyes of the bat, Bruce soon finds that there are still secrets between them...
Protective Bat Dad
There’s a loophole: if you successfully murder his son, you get off scot-free. He can’t touch you!
Batman #510 (Knights End part 7)
Batman is known to talk some trash in a fight, but this is some next level shit. He’s going to un-exist JPV.
Batman #510 (Knights End part 7)
Bruce is back, baby!!!!!
