Top 10 Dumbest Batman Comics Ever Released


the dumb knight rises’ I will relay the
migration welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten dumbest Batman comics your
obsession with me is flattering bat-mite
but it’s not healthy
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at the comic books centered
around the Caped Crusader that are
wildly considered to be his stupidest
escapades on the page number 10 penguin
triumphant we all know that in terms of
villainy Oswald Cobblepot prefers to
take a backseat and reap his rewards
through shady dealings as dolphins most
crooked businessman his penchant for
white-collar crime certainly separates
him from others in Batman’s rose gallery
that being said did anyone think a story
centered around the penguin manipulating
stocks was gonna make for a good read
keeping things grounded in the real
world is all fine and dandy but come on
it’s freaking Gotham not Wall Street do
us a favor Oswald just go back to using
your umbrella as a helicopter number 9
Detective Comics volume 1 number 241
said it’s a good thing I’ve made another
alteration to my costume despite having
a multitude of costumes loaded in the
Batcave it’s widely known that Batman
sticks to dark colors you know because
he is the knight and all that stuff
well back in the extremely campy days of
the 50s someone thought it would be a
great idea for Batman to start wearing
several less than flattering ultra
colourful rainbow Batman bat suits we
can buy him using it as a way to
distract villains or something but it
still doesn’t change the fact that they
had Batman running around in bright pink
unacceptable number eight hush returns
for those not in the know hush with an
enigmatic villain who sought to ruin
Bruce Wayne’s life as it happened he
turned out to be a childhood friend
named Thomas Eliot a medical genius with
more than a few loose screws his initial
Ron had a gripping story and Jim Lee’s
exquisite aren’t work to boot and it’s
considered to be a damn fine Batman
story well someone obviously loved touch
so much that they decided to make a
sequel one that tried to make him into
the ultimate Batman villain almost
ludicrously he easily takes out the
Riddler kills poison ivy runs the Joker
out of town and disappointed Vance by
being utterly uninteresting throughout
number seven fortunate son remember kids
rock music is nothing but death and
crime in the rage of the Beast
in what has to be one of the all-time
most ridiculous ideas for a Batman comic
Dark Knight and the Boy Wonder have to
stop a crazy teenage rock idol that is
when they’re not spending most of their
time arguing about the value of rock and
roll we’re not even sure what’s Dumber
that meant thinking rock music is the
root of all evil or that in order to
catch the bad guy he manages to research
and learn everything about the genre in
a few hours we know that Batman’s the
world’s greatest detective but come on
that’s pushing it right number six
Batman volume 1 number 183 the plot of
this one might be the worst revenge
story we’ve ever seen after a criminal
traps Batman and steals his costume he
assumes the identity of the Dark Knight
manages to infiltrate the Batcave and
just lounges around doing nothing while
Robin goes out and fights crime really
you couldn’t come up with anything
better than that we’re not sure who’s
the bigger idiot here the one who sought
up this plot or the criminal in question
for not making the most of an
opportunity at least try to steal the
Batmobile or something like do anything
come on number 5 Batman volume 1 number
1 47 we would recommend averting your
eyes for this one no one deserves to see
the abomination that is the bat baby you
can already guess where this is going
right the plot for this one sees the
world’s greatest detective trapped in
the body of an infant while retaining
his adult intellect and strength this
leads to the rather depressing sight of
a bat toddler flying around and beating
up criminals while looking for a way to
reverse the transformation when you make
Robin costume look badass then you know
something has gone very wrong number 4
Detective Comics volume 1 number 106 we
should have all known that this one
would be a bomb just from the cover as
the team behind this issue seemed to
have confused a library for an art
museum while with the abundance of
paintings as opposed to you know books
with an apparent ghostly apparition
stalking the corridors of Gotham library
it’s down to the dynamic duo to go full
on scooby-doo and take it out generic in
its plot and underwhelming in its
execution
Batman’s clash with the so called
phantom was less ghostbusters than it
was just plain old bust number 3 Batman
Odyssey Batman owes a lot to Neal Adams
whose artistry and input was crucial in
elevating him into the Dark Knight we
all know and love but we aren’t kidding
when we say his mini-series is by far
the most insane comic experience you’re
ever going to read none of it makes
sense as we go from Batman fighting
ghouls to riding around on dinosaurs
with the dialogue like something out of
a Tommy Wiseau movie Neal Adams is a
but he should really stick to using his
pencil to draw and leaving the writing
to his longtime collaborator Danny
O’Neill number two all-star Batman and
Robin and so it’s come to this Frank
Miller from the minds that gave us such
iconic graphic novels like Batman year
one and The Dark Knight Returns we get
this reimagining of the Caped Crusader
this is a reimagining that comes
complete with a psychotic Batman who
likes to spend his evenings kidnapping
future sidekicks killing criminals in
all kinds of horrific ways getting laid
and going on and on about how he’s got
goddamn Matt man oh and it features a
joker who doesn’t like to smile we had a
hard time finding the joy in this book
to mr. J number one The Dark Knight
strikes again
oh how the mighty have fallen in what
was supposed to be the follow-up to 1986
is legendary The Dark Knight Returns
Batman goes from being a grizzled and
tormented veteran to just another grumpy
old man who likes nothing more than to
beat up on Superman don’t feel too bad
for Supes though since readers are also
forced to witness he and Wonder Woman
having such powerful sex that it causes
natural disasters and topping it all off
we have Dick Grayson as the Joker why
because Frank Miller sets out fun stuff
