we’ll be looking at the most
disappointing regrettable and downright
awful things that Batman has ever done
alternate timelines will be considered
so long as they aren’t timelines where
Batman is a full-on villain sorry Batman
whoo laughs fans number 10 infecting
cyborg with a computer virus this
particular offense takes place in the
world of injustice gods among us in
which Superman has snapped following the
death of Lois Lane but Batman continues
to maintain that some lines should not
be crossed
but apparently infecting your
computerized ally cyborg with a virus
you know just in case isn’t crossing the
line in the Dark Knight’s rulebook as
revealed an injustice gods among us
number 15 Batman uploaded cyborg with a
virus the very week they met giving
himself an on-off switch in case he ever
judged it necessary to incapacitate the
powerful hero even Killer Croc who
witnesses the reveal can’t help but call
out the move number 9 keeping records on
his Justice League house well what
Batman did to cyborg was terrible at all
it’s not like he was out of character a
master tactician who always plans for
the worst
he’s got contingencies in place for
seemingly every possibility including
his Superfriends turning on him the
issue is much like his peers PETMAN
himself is also not infallible and as
explored in the story Jael a tower of
babel those plans are nearly as safe as
he would have you believe
when raesha al Ghul got his hands on
them he nearly succeeded in destroying
the Justice League next time Batman
maybe just keep mental notes instead
number 8 passing the mantle to a
mentally unstable newcomer rather than
his protege perhaps it was never made
explicit but it always seemed pretty
obvious that should the day come that
Bruce Wayne needed to retire as Batman
Dick Grayson his first Robin would take
over
and so when Bruce Wayne was taken out of
commission by the devious and powerful
Bane everyone assumed that dick would be
done in the cape and cowl but apparently
not dismissing Tim Drake’s suggestion
contacting Nightwing Bruce instead
passes his identity and responsibility
onto jean-paul Valley a new vigilante in
town with a known history of mental
instability and difficulties controlling
his extremely violent impulses but no
you’re right Bruce dick is too busy
better go with the maniac number seven
abusing his fiancee domestic abuse it’s
not a problem exclusive to marvel in the
PIM residence in Batman the widening
gyre serial bachelor and playboy Bruce
Wayne finally meets his match or rather
reconnect with her in the shape of
former flames silver st. cloud the story
sees the two lovers reunited and soon
enough they’re on the fast-track to
marriage being Batman however the
happier Bruce is the more conflicted and
eventually paranoid he becomes almost
immediately after becoming engaged he
runs her off the road and grabs her by
the hair roughly tearing some out why to
make sure she’s not a robot silver soon
forgives him but she probably shouldn’t
have number six hiring Robin’s
girlfriend is the new Robin when you
take a teenage sidekick under your wing
it comes with a certain level of
responsibility not only to keep them
alive but to set a good example and
Batman played this all wrong when Tim
Drake quits as Robin Batman basically
platonically rebounds with Tim’s
girlfriend Stephanie Brown despite
having previously expressed his doubts
about her abilities after a single
mistake he promptly fires her and
forbids her from fighting crime a move
that has made many fans suspect that he
was simply trying to make Tim Drake
jealous it’s the fallout of Batman’s
actions that really hurt though as her
attempts to prove herself culminates in
her apparent death great job Batman
number 5 having sex while thieves burned
to death nothing sets the mood like the
smell of burning human flesh right Bruce
courtesy of Frank Miller the
much-maligned all-star Batman and Robin
is basically the worst and most
offensive take on Batman you’ll ever
read in this particular issue Batman
yells nonsensically aggressive banter at
a group of armed thieves before using
the bleach they’ve stolen to make a
Molotov cocktail and set them all on
fire Black Canary is watching him work
and has apparently turned on by all the
carnage and so with the unconscious
thugs literally burning alive and heaps
behind them they have sex apart from the
costume this deplorable cringe Monster
is unrecognizable as Batman number 4
committing murder
once upon a time bat
was a character without clear editorial
guidelines and by extension he was a
hero without consistent moral guidelines
back in the early days the Caped
Crusader was what you might call
kill-crazy after having made a name for
himself in the pages of Detective Comics
The Dark Knight got his very own
eponymous title and to celebrate he went
on a killing spree first he dispatches a
Hugo Strange by punching him out a
window to his apparent demise and then
proceeds to deal with Strange’s henchmen
made up of mentally ill asylum patients
with machine-gun fire back even hangs
one from the batplane number three
ceiling kg beasts underground and
leaving him to starve
an issue number four of Batman the Caped
Crusader can be seen telling Robin that
they quote never killed with weapons of
any kind a philosophy that would evolve
into a strict no killing rule over the
years but it would seem that decades
later Batman was still willing to toy
with the definition of killing in 1988
Batman number 420 realizing that he is
incapable of besting the cagey Beast
Batman locks the man in a sewer and
walks away in a panel that strongly
insinuates that he was leaving him to
die
it was retconned by a later writer but
in terms of how it originally went down
that was a slow and painful death
sentence plain and simple
number two the eternal torture of Lord
death man as we were saying playing a
little fast and loose with your
definition of killing here Batman in
this issue in which Batman faces off
against the obscure relic from 60s
comics Lord death man he once again
creatively works his way around his no
killing rule by condemning this villain
to a fate worse than death seriously
those are words from Batman’s own mouth
knowing that this bill and frequently
fakes his own death and is actually
immortal Batman opts to lock him in a
safe and then sentence him to exile in
space to live eternally in confinement
Batman seems rather cavalier about the
whole thing
but it’s super messed up before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
number one creating brother I and nearly
ending life as we know it where do we
even begin with this one maybe with the
fact that Batman could have righted his
error earlier how do you not ignore the
warnings of his old colleague and friend
Blue Beetle who instead gets killed for
Bruce’s mistakes but we’ve gotten ahead
of ourselves
taking his contingency planning to new
heights Batman once built a secret
satellite called brother AI to monitor
superheroes sure enough it got
compromised and a villain used it to try
to kill all metahumans it only got worse
though his brother I later became
sentient and tried to conquer and
homogenize the world and that’s how
Batman almost ruined everything do you
