Badman (Web Video) | comment |
Badman is a Batman Parody series, specifically mocking The Dark Knight Trilogy, produced by CollegeHumor and Front Page Films and starring Pete Holmes.The premise can be summed up as: "What if the self-proclaimed 'World's Greatest Detective' was actually a massive Idiot Hero?"Now has a Sequel Series on Pete Holmes’ personal YouTube channel, called "Bat-Canned", with the premise of Batman firing or attempting to fire various superheroes in the DC Extended Universe's version of the Justice League, as well as the main characters from Joker and The Batman. You can find it here. | |

Canon Foreigner: The series gives us Nolan-inspired interpretations of Penguin and the Riddler, neither of whom appeared in the Dark Knight trilogy. One episode features Superman, who also didn't exist in the Dark Knight trilogy. | |

All Men Are Perverts: Pretty much the entire theme of the short "Batman Can't Stop Thinking About Sex". Also, in "Batman Says His Goodbyes", when the Caped Crusader uses his Heroic Sacrifice as leverage to make a pass at Catwoman. | |

Badman (Web Video) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: "Batman vs. the Scarecrow" technically counts as a win for Scarecrow, as Batman is still under the effects of fear gas and burning alive. But since he's so confused and annoyed by Batman's nonsensical phobias, he clearly doesn't feel like he's won. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Parodied to the point of gross-out humor in "Batman vs. the Penguin". Batman thinks he adheres to this rule and the henchman he kills are asleep... which he states after taking a look at one that has a Batarang in his face. | |

Badman (Web Video) / int_308a5ff0 | comment |
Strange Minds Think Alike: Batman guesses incorrectly that the answer to the Riddler's riddle ("If you aim to give us a shot, we'll riddle you.") is "helicopter". When he fails to guess several more times (despite the answer being telegraphed to him by the Riddler and Rachel), he calls up Lucius Fox to help him, who asks if the answer is "helicopter". | |

Absurd Phobia: After Scarecrow hits Batman with his trademark fear gas, we discover that the Caped Crusader's phobias include sleeveless T-shirts, Girl Scouts, baths, jingling keys, Double Dare, Invisalign braces, Roombas, and actor Christopher McDonald (who appears As Himself for a brief cameo). | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: An extreme example, to say Batman has irrational fears is an understatement. He's terrified of Girl Scouts, sleeveless T-shirts, Roomba, ukuleles, fluorescent light bulbs, jingling keys, ATMs, intimacy, Christopher McDonald, the Double Dare TV show, Invisalign braces, a bag of Sun Chips, Babe Ruth's tiny legs, and baths. | |

No Object Permanence: Batman believes that Two-Face and Harvey Dent are two different people who disappear and reappear whenever Two-Face turns his head. When he turns his burned side towards him, Batman invents an entirely new person, "Scary-Face". Later, Commissioner Gordon makes fun of Superman's Clark Kenting by taking off his glasses — Batman immediately falls for it. | |

Released to Elsewhere: This version of Batman doesn't seem to comprehend that people can die if you attack them with lethal force, and think they just fall asleep or go to a farm when they do so.

Too Dumb to Live: In "Batman Meets Two-Face", Batman is seemingly unable to understand the concept that Harvey Dent and Two-Face are the same person despite standing right in front of him. In "Batman Meets the Riddler", the Riddler offers a challenge: "If you aim to give us a shot, we'll riddle you. What are we?" Batman can't figure it out, despite Riddler — and Rachel, who he's taken hostage — repeatedly giving him incredible obvious hints. | |

Insane Troll Logic | |
Badman (Web Video) / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: With the bomb's timer ticking, Batman feels like he should get another kiss from Catwoman because "for a last kiss on earth, it was like a 7." A rare case for somebody other than Batman — Gordon pulls out a gun to threaten Batman for stalling, claiming that he'll blow Batman's brains out if he doesn't fly the bomb away. In "Batman vs. the Penguin", Batman concludes, after Gordon clarifies what he's doing is killing people, that if he goes to sleep, he dies. Batman also thinks his parents aren't dead — they're on a special, happy farm where they make buttermilk, romp, play, and send him emails from a hammock made of dreams. After his disappearing act fails and Gordon spots him huddling around a corner, Batman simply claims he "found some evidence". Batman thinks a 50-50 chance requires 50 coins, then 50 more, and his computer needs to analyze the results — with science. After working over the wrong clown in a detainment room, Batman claims he partly knew it wasn't the Joker, but it was embarrassing to stop so he just kind of "owned it". The reasons behind Batman's laundry list of phobias have absolutely no basis in reality. His greatest hits include: | |
