Batman Parody	comment	As one of the most famous superheroes of all time, Batman seems to be the most frequent target for direct parody, more than any other character, including Superman. This may have something to do with the 1960s TV series Batman (1966), which widely increased his pop culture notability outside the USA, as well as the high-profile blockbuster movies from 1989 on. Thus, more people on Earth, even those who aren't fans of superhero comics, will be familiar with aspects of the Batman universe than any other superhero franchise. Typical elements for this Stock Parody will be the bat ears, the bat mask, the bat symbol shining across the street, the bat mobile, the Batman Cut, a younger Sidekick much like Robin, a trustworthy butler who helps the superhero out, wacky villains built around one defining characteristic (The Joker, The Riddler, etc.), onomatopoeic words flashing to the screen during fight sequences, the phrase I'm Batman! said with a husky voice, and, in some versions, a comically excessive Dark and Troubled Past and over-the-top angst Played for Laughs. Often the superhero in question will have a Punny Name based on Batman, like "Fatman", "Bartman", "Catman", ... As an extra joke his theme song will be a direct parody of the Batman theme song from the 1960s TV show. For a similar, if less satirical tropes, see Superman Substitute, Spider-Man Send-Up, and Practically Joker. For the non-parodical examples of the archetype Batman codified, see The Cowl. Examples

Batman Parody / int_12300cc3	comment	Watchmen: While an expy of the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, Nite Owl II is also one of these as his costume evokes Batman, complete with a horned cowl, a cape, and a utility bowl; being rich; and having an animal-theme vehicle.. However, because Dan Dreiberg lives in a world where he mostly dealt with petty criminals, he notes he didn't need a lot of the stuff he spent money on, and he also lacks the tragic backstory, being an Ascended Fanboy of the original Nite Owl, Hollis Mason. Dan's film counterpart takes this further with his suits evoking the various film versions of Batman. Rorschach is yet another Watchmen character that parodies some aspects of Batman, according to contemporary Alan Moore interviews. While Nite Owl replicates the campier elements (costume, gadgets, animal-themed name, mild-mannered secret identity), Rorschach is a send up of Batman as a brutal sociopath who beats up the people he doesn't like, as according to Moore, Batman in the real world would look more like a scary psycho than a hero. Interestingly, that makes the Nite Owl and Rorschach duo a Decomposite Character for Batman. Mothman is a millionaire playboy, has a nocturnal animal-themed suit (moths instead of bats), limited social skills, and the desire to become a superhero out of atonement. The deconstruction kicks in as Mothman's intentions are relatively petty compare to Batman; Mothman's reasons is both out of a desire to add spice to his life and out of guilt over his privileged lifestyle rather than anything tragic. His No Social Skills are the result of crippling neurosis and alcoholism, which, along with a Hauled Before A Senate Subcommittee event, eventually lead him to being committed to a sanitarium. However, his depiction in the old DC Heroes RPG actually manages to make him sympathetic, as a idealistic anti-racist left-winger who becomes a hero to fight for a more egalitarian world. In said depiction, Mothman is a sort of Foil for other Minutemen, like the nazi sympathizer Hooded Justice, the racist Captain Metropolis, and the nihilist Comedian. Little of this appears in the actual comic, though.

Batman Parody / int_12eed1d0	comment	Mega Mind: The eponymous Villain Protagonist turned Anti-Hero is Batman fused with Lex Luthor and Brainiac. Despite being an alien, he has no superpowers and relies on gadgets and his genius intellect to get by. His wardrobe is all black complete with Ominous Opera Cape and he has his own Cool Car. He also has an alter ego Bernard (an actual guy whom he replaced) who does the "dating beautiful women" part like Bruce Wayne. His sidekick Minion operates similarly to Alfred right down to doing the cooking and cleaning. Megamind's rivarly with Metro Man as well as his fights with Beware the Superman Hal aka Titan are reminiscent to Batman's dynamic and many fights with Superman.

He plays up the quirks of the Dark Knight Trilogy's Batman, calling himself "the hero the ocean deserves" and speaking in a voice his actor describes as "screaming a hoarse whisper", but does so in a campy setting styled after the Silver Age, with comical plots to Take Over the City and kid sidekicks galore, such as Captain Laserbeam's Adventurekateers and Philip Fathom's own Investigateens.

It helps that Syndrome's Crazy-Prepared tactics including having the means to bring down every hero is very similar to Batman and his foil Mr Incredible is a Superman Substitute. He's also akin to Doctor Doom being the tech-heavy nemesis to The Fantastic Faux of the film.

While he has money, he's also a whiny Manchild completely lacking in skill or competence and, since his parents are still alive, relies solely on handouts. In the first few episodes he was portrayed to be a competent hero despite his personality defects, but was quickly flanderized into being The Load. Additionally, his Arch-Enemy is a Practically Joker skeletal clown called the Groaner.

Batman Parody / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons The character of Radioactive Man is a combination of almost every superhero, but some of his attributes are directly spoofing Batman (and some of Fallout Boy's attributes spoof Robin). In "Radioactive Man", a film is made about him, directly parodying the Batman blockbusters of the 1990s, including a call-back to the 1960s Radioactive Man TV series, where they face a wacky Sissy Villain named the Scoutmaster and the fight scenes have weird onomatopoeic Hit Flashes like "MINT!" and "SNUH!" flashing across the screen. Similarly, Bart imagines himself to be the superhero "Bartman", particularly in the last third of the anthology episode "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times", entitled Bartman Begins. In "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer", Homer's silhouette is projected in the light of a lighthouse, causing Bart and Lisa to see it as something the resembles the Bat signal. In the episode "Lisa's Sax", Bart sings a song called Buttman. In the episode "Dark Knight Court", Mr. Burns becomes a vigilante known as "Fruit Batman" after reading some comic books, fighting a Rogues Gallery almost entirely consisting of his employees being paid by Smithers to act the part of the villains Fruit Batman defeats. Despite Mr. Burns being an occassional Card-Carrying Villain, he's quite good at playing the role of a superhero, as he managed to take down one legitimate supervillain offscreen, and he defeated Groundskeeper Willie, proving Bart's innocence of a prank that Willie committed in the A-plot.

Like Batman Oguro is a Badass Normal with a black mask and white eyes who acts as The Cowl regularly taking on opponents often well out of his weight class and has a darkly sardonic yet ultimately heroic personality and takes in a colourful Kid Sidekick as his protÃ©gÃ©. Oguro also acts as a deconstruction of Batman-like characters as it's revealed that his body has been ravaged by his reckless exploits and he's constantly using painkillers to shrug off his intense exhaustion and pain from various injuries. Additionally, his daughter Tamao is similar to Barbara Gordon being a rebellious girl who has a traumatic encounter with a supervillain leaving her hospitalised and an invalid.

Though as time went by he ended up diverging further and further from Batman to the point where he became a foil. Aside from the obvious similarities like being a Badass Normal who fights crime with cash, a very important difference between the two is they have almost opposite moral ideologies, with Green Arrow trying to see the good in people while Batman intimidates them and locks them up. Like Batman, Ollie is also a Papa Wolf to his kids and sidekicks, going to great extremes whenever they are endangered or hurt.

Batman Parody / int_39bd4a10	comment	Deathstroke whether as a villain or an anti-hero can certainly be regarded as this, as well as a Corrupted Character Copy of Captain America. He's a Crazy-Prepared One-Man Army with gadgets and weapons designed for any kind threat he may face, is known for punching well out of his weight class to Gary-Stu levels, has a troubled relationship with his multiple children (who he does love deep down but is terrible at being a parent) and is generally the answer to "What if Batman killed people?" He's also a deconstruction of the mental health that someone with Batman's lifestyle would really be like. For example, Slade has gone so far off the deep end that he actually hires hitmen just to keep tabs on his wife, daughter, and son as his own twisted form of care because unlike even the emotionally stunted Batman he can't express love to his nearest and dearest in any remotely healthy way. It's even more on the nose when Slade is paired with the very similar Deadshot (see below) against the Dark Knight in a MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois, with Batman making it clear how little he likes either of his fellow masked prowling hardcases or how alike they are to him.

Batman Parody / int_4d1ba412	comment	The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: Dr. McNinja is rather similar to Batman already (as they're both American ninjas who fight crime), but the comic occasionally leans on the similarities extra hard. For example, he begins investigating a mysterious dinosaur in his office by asking "What would Batman do?" (As it turns out, the answer is: jump through a skylight to interrogate some thugs, then get a crucial clue from a random TV broadcast.) Doc's backstory reveals that Batman comics were his inspiration to become a crime-fighter in the first place — his parents used them to get him interested in doing ninja stuff, but he unintentedly picked up the heroism as well. The comic later introduces (and promptly kills) the Beeman, who's an even more direct parody. He wears Batman's costume — just with all the bat design elements replaced by bee stuff — and he was inspired to fight crime by the death of his parents. It's so overt that it's a parody of the Batman Parody trope — an excerpt from a print-only story shows his opponents lampshading the heck out of it.

Both are brooding loners with scary white eyed-masks, playing The Lancer in their respective teams and act as mentors to various sidekicks (the numerous Robins for Batman and Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, Armor and X-23 for Wolverine). Both of them even have children who are assassins (Damian for Batman, Daken and X-23 for Wolverine). It also helps Wolverine actually also has an aristocratic background and lost his parents at young age â€” as revealed by his origin comic. When Marvel and DC collaborated to produce Amalgam Universe, combining their characters for fun, Wolverine and Batman fused to become "Dark Claw".

Batman Parody / int_64eedb73	comment	The Umbrella Academy has two. The first is Number Two aka Diego aka the Kraken. He is The Cowl and The Lancer of the team who has similarities to Batman and his sons Nightwing and Red Hood. Not only does Diego have the dark outfit and mask but he works closely with a police chief whom he has a rather strained relationship with and whom he pulls the frequent Stealth Hi/Bye on. However Diego is Batman if he had no finnese or patience, being a rutheless asshole Vigilante Man who is capable of compassion but has a very hard time showing it and unlike Batman whom can usually wing his way of most danger Diego by contrast frequently almost gets himself killed since he lacks the overabundance of skills the Dark Knight has. Lampshaded in the Netflix adaption where the page quote comes from. The second is Number Six aka Ben aka Horror. His costume◊ is almost identical to Batman — barring the lack of ears, different insignia and green coloured gloves and boots rather than black. He's a Terror Hero like Batman but since Ben has a Lovecraftian Superpower he doesn't need man-made fear tactics to spook people. Though ironically personailty-wise Horror was apparently an All-Loving Hero beloved by his siblngs in contrast to the perennially pessimistic Batman. Even the allusions to Lovecraft are on point given how much of Batman's mythos references it e.g Arkham.

Batman Parody / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Several of Batman's own Rogues Gallery are a parody, an Evil Counterpart or Anti-Hero Substitute of him (the third is pretty impressive since modern Batman is already an Anti-Hero). Catman (who The Fairly OddParents!'s Catman is based off) is one of the most frequently and infamously mocked examples of this. His costume is literally just a garish Palette Swap of Batman, and he has a "Cat" motif rather than a "Bat" motif. Rather than fading into obscurity Catman actually went through Divergent Character Evolution thanks to Gail Simone and Took a Level in Badass being rewritten as badass and compelling Kraven-esque anti-hero hunter. He's also a foil to his Spear Counterpart Catwoman. Killer Moth was designed to be an analogue for Batman being a Gadgeteer Genius themed after a flying nocturnal animal with his own Utility Belt and despite his ridiculous appearance actually formidable combat prowess earlier on. However, thanks to getting his butt whooped by Batgirl in her full comic debut and his Silver Age cheesiness making him a laughing stock he's been written as DC's equivalent to Marvel's Shocker ever since. He's taken some rises in badassery since (such as in Lazarus Planet) but he's still largely considered both a wannabe Batman and a wannabe Big Bad Evil Counterpart. Jean Paul Valley aka Azrael is an interesting example, as during Knightfall he was conceptualised by DC as an actual replacement to the Dark Knight who was meant to be someone fans would dislike and find too radical as Batman; subsequently making them miss and appreciate Bruce as the original more - "New Coke" and "Classic Coke" style. The scheme ultimately paid off with Bruce being welcomed back with open arms while Azrael became a villain and then Anti-Hero Substitute. Azrael also subverts the "slightly unhinged" nature of Batman being realistically well and truly unwell mentally and constantly affected by his devout and twisted psyche. Deadshot in many ways was the precursor to Deathstroke when it comes to this. Heâ€™s a masked and sleek Vigilante Man from a wealthy background who rather than having his parents get killed had his brother killed accidently and was blamed by his parents for it and like Batman is a Blood Knight who canâ€™t help but relish violence and being The Cowl. Unlike Batman however who wants to help people (and generally doesnâ€™t use guns), Floyd choose to be a Gun Nut mercenary and hates the justice system for how flawed it is. More modern comic really play up the fact◊ they actually have more in common than either would like to admit both having children with Deadshot even getting away with calling Batman out on his â€œsend my kids into battleâ€� parenting skills. Wrath is one of the more overt examples being a near carbon copy of Batman (with his own Kid Sidekick Scorn in The Batman) and a murdered parents backstory, in his case ironically killed by Jim Gordon as rookie cop. Like Prometheus, being so blatantly based on the Dark Knight hasn't helped Wrath's popularity despite getting some good exposure in The New 52 he soon got Villain Decay again with Spoiler dropping with a single punch after she disabled his Powered Armour. Since then, he's been written as a more pathetic Big Bad Wannabe who wants Batman to acknowledge him as his rival. Ghost-Maker who showed up in Batman (Rebirth) as a Remember the New Guy? is yet another obvious pastiche. He's the billionaire son of a wealthy Singaporean business owner who watched his parents get killed in front of him and seeking revenge, he went on a globetrotting Training Montage and trained with all the same trainers as Batman did and crossed paths with Bruce himself. They disagreed over how to handle criminals before making a promise to never step foot in each other's turfs. He temporarily becomes the Arc Villain for a while before falling back into Anti-Hero Substitute status and joins the aforementioned Batman copycat team "Batman Incorporated". And yes he has a Kid Sidekick too, Phantom One, who's cover introduction is a neat Call-Back to Robin's debut appearance.

Batman Parody / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: A character called Batman shows up in Wano arc as one of Kaido's SMILES and true to form he's got the dark outfit, pointy ears, mask-like face, and wings... but he's also overweight and completely ridiculous◊ (albeit he actually gives Luffy some trouble in the anime). Considering Oda is a fan of the 1966 series (the most popular incarnation of Batman in Japan) with the character Caesar taking his name from Cesar Romero, this goofier Shout-Out to the Dark Knight should be expected. Patrick Redfield the Big Bad of One Piece: Unlimited World Red user of the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire Devil Fruit, in comparison to the aforementioned example provides a decidedly cooler non-silly example, with his hybrid form making him look very similar to Batman◊ (with his face looking like a mask). Redfield also naturally has similarities to the Batman Vampire version being a vampire himself, on top of the obvious Dracula allusions. On the topic of Wano, much like how Sentai Black of Super Sentai is likened to Batman when it comes to Sentai teams, Stealth Black of the In-Universe Germa 66 legend is pretty much the Batman of the group, relying on stealth with his Invisibility powers. Fittingly when Sanji (despite understandably hating Germa, his evil family) takes the Stealth Black aka Soba-Mask mantle with the Raid Suit he acts like The Cowl saving people as a superhero, and like Batman has variety of gadgets including a black techno cape that can protect him from harm. It also helps out of the mask Sanji is a Sharp-Dressed Man and womanizer aristocrat like Bruce Wayne, albeit former aristocrat in Sanji's case.

Batman Parody / int_9e7f8a9c	comment	The Boys: Black Noir of the Seven has several clear parallels to Batman, particularly in that he is a dark vigilante who wears a black costume. Some Vought executives even try to teach him to fly a plane to accommodate Seven merchandise including a stand-in for the Batwing, plus the Herogasm miniseries establishes that one of the villains he fights is named Sexface (a riff on how several of Batman's enemies have a codename ending with "face", like Two-Face and Clayface). Tek-Knight of the superhero team Payback is essentially a mash-up of Batman and Iron Man, with the most notable elements borrowed from the Caped Crusader being that he has an underground lair located beneath his mansion and a Robin-like sidekick named Laddio.

He is a badass and vengeful local hero who defends Shinjuku from the rooftops and streets as The Cowl like DC's Dark Knight. Their powers are different though, Batman being a Badass Normal while Yousuke Otoha aka Karas is a yÅ�kai empowered ninja who can turn into a car and aircraft without the need for billionaire money. Comes full circle in Batman Ninja, which along with the 3D animation takes a fair amount of ques from Karas, in regard to Batman's outlandish presentation.

The Adam West of the Fairly OddParents universe is also depicted as under the delusion that he actually is the superhero he used to play on TV instead of just being an actor. The episode "Power Pals" has Timmy Turner wish for "super friends", resulting in him being accompanied by pastiches of the Justice League as depicted in Superfriends. Batman's stand-in is called Dark Mark and is described as a "mysterious brooding creature of friendship", his introductory scene humorously having him ask why they always run when he scares an old lady just by saying hello to her. The TV film Channel Chasers featured a Batman: The Animated Series parody called Blackbird, with the titular hero once again voiced by Adam West.

There are also similarities in gadgetry, such as a signal that shines into the sky with a silhouette of Larry-boy's head (similar to the bat-signal) and the Larry-mobile. Show creator, Phil Vischer, has stated that the Batman homage was going to be in the form of Bob the Tomato taking on the persona of "Batbob" with Larry-boy being similar to Robin and being Batbob's sidekick.

The scheme ultimately paid off with Bruce being welcomed back with open arms while Azrael became a villain and then Anti-Hero Substitute. Azrael also subverts the "slightly unhinged" nature of Batman being realistically well and truly unwell mentally and constantly affected by his devout and twisted psyche.

Batman Parody / int_c0da5437	comment	The Punisher is often likened to Batman having a similar appearance to Bruce Wayne (just with more Perma-Stubble) and having a dark costume too, albeit with the cape traded out for a Badass Longcoat. Their motivations of having their loved ones gunned down by criminals is also very akin as is their Made of Iron and Crazy-Prepared traits. They also both have their black super cars they drive around in and act as the darker foils to their brighter and more idealistic superheroes compatriots like Spider-Man, Cap, Daredevil and once even Thor (the latter having a "Batman and Superman dissscussion" vibe). On the other hand, Punisher can be seen as a dark subversion and parody of the kind hero Batman is, removing sleek gothicness and replacing it with gritty realism with Frank being not-unreasonably treated like a psychopath by most of Marvel heroes. Interestingly, when paired with the aforementioned Daredevil they represent the good and bad sides of Batman. Daredevil represents Batman's best qualites being incorruptibly noble and refusing to take lives whereas Punisher represents the worst traits of Batman being ruthelessly brutal and obessed with dealing out retribution to criminals. The Batman-Punisher crossover of course has great fun exploring their similarites and dichotomy (especially around killing◊).

He's got the dark armoured outfit and (at first) seemingly tragic backstory of being a cop whose family was murdered and his daughter Hit-Girl has strong similarities to Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain and Damian Wayne. The Reveal however is that unlike Batman who had noble reasons to become a vigilante, Damon is actually a sad-sack accountant who was stuck in a unhappy marriage and decided to live out his fantasies; inventing the murdered family cop sob story as a cover. The movie adaptation where he's played by Nicolas Cage changes this up and makes Big Daddy a straighter example, having the tragic cop story be genuine and making him look more like Batman◊ right down the cape, belt and cowl.

There's a reason for all that. He also has an orphaned sidekick, Altar Boy, who later becomes the second Confessor.

Batman Parody / int_e0fcfdea	comment	The Avengers (1960s) had an episode around a comic studio making "The Winged Avenger". The climactic fight has Mrs. Peel and Mr Steed hitting the Big Bad with Hit Flash panels while a Musical Pastiche of the Batman theme plays.

Batman Parody / int_e4518c0a	comment	Moon Knight is another Marvel equivalent of Batman. Along with his cape & cowl, his moon-themed gadgets (like batarang-like "crescent darts"), and the fact that he has an Idle Rich Secret Identity in Steven Grant; he also has his Alfred expy Frenchie. The catch is that, where you may occasionally see some discussion that Batman might be as crazy as the villains he fights, Moon Knight genuinely struggles with mental illness — he has a Split Personality (of which Steven Grant is only an alter), and it's rarely clear whether he's acting as the emissary of an Egyptian moon god or if he's just imagining it.

Batman Parody / int_e5ea79ee	comment	The Midnighter of The Authority can be accurately described as Batman if he were a gay couple with Superman as well as having actual powers and less reservations towards killing his enemies. Like Batman he's also a Blood Knight with a sardonic and often grimly dry sense of humour at times. His original Wild Storm version was a cut and dry Batman clone.

Batman Parody / int_e7410020	comment	Empowered has Maidman, who is a highly competent Badass Normal Terror Hero who wields shuriken-like weapons and martial arts skills alongside an assortment of gadgets, and is noted to have a gravely voice. He's even introduced as "the goddamn Maidman." The main twist? As the name suggests, instead of using an animal theme (which he described as "one step removed from being a furry"), he uses a French maid theme—as in, he dresses like one in battle, and all his equipment consists of things like mops, feather dusters, and razor doilies. It's noted that this actually aids in him being regarded as The Dreaded: nobody wants to lose a fight to a guy with no powers in a maid outfit, especially not a guy with a habit of flashing his panties.

It helps that the turtles in general were inspired by/are a parody of the aforementioned Daredevil, who's a Batman pastiche and they have even crossed over with Batman himself in more recent years.

Batman Parody / int_effdeceb	comment	Ghost-Maker who showed up in Batman (Rebirth) as a Remember the New Guy? is yet another obvious pastiche. He's the billionaire son of a wealthy Singaporean business owner who watched his parents get killed in front of him and seeking revenge, he went on a globetrotting Training Montage and trained with all the same trainers as Batman did and crossed paths with Bruce himself. They disagreed over how to handle criminals before making a promise to never step foot in each other's turfs. He temporarily becomes the Arc Villain for a while before falling back into Anti-Hero Substitute status and joins the aforementioned Batman copycat team "Batman Incorporated". And yes he has a Kid Sidekick too, Phantom One, who's cover introduction is a neat Call-Back to Robin's debut appearance.

Chippy is a pastiche of Batman's sidekick Robin, with his mentor being a representation of Batman called the Midnight Mink. The Midnight Mink is depicted as a Depraved Homosexual who molests his young sidekick.

Batman Parody / int_f1a38c03	comment	Suske en Wiske. The album Wattman is a direct parody of the 1960s TV series, which was popular when this story was published. A wattman is an old Belgian term for a streetcar driver, like the one in the story. He has a similar bat mask and cape and sings his own theme song Wattman whenever he attacks somebody. In one gag he is standing in the lights of his streetcar, causing his silhouette to parody the Bat signal. The child character Suske even dresses up like him at one point, causing him to resemble Robin.

Batman Parody / int_f3c3ca42	comment	The Tick has a direct Batman parody in "Die Fledermaus" ("the Bat" in German). He has oversized ears, claws and nose, and is a massive coward, preferring to run away from evil rather than fight it. While he has a Bat Signal of his own, the Mayor is hesitant to light it to summon him, because he has noticed that whenever he does so, Die Fledermaus goes on a week-long tropical vacation. In The Tick (2001) they couldn't use "Die Fledermaus" so they have "Batmanuel", a Latino version. He doesn't have many skills nor is he seen crimefighting - even less than other heroes on the show.
