Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Honestly, I hate iterations of Batman where he is a dick (pun intended). A lot of the times they come out of nowhere like this one. That's why I prefer the early 1990s Batman: The Animated Series because Bruce is well adjusted, more hopeful and understanding. But in the subsequently revamped The New Batman Adventures animated series, Bruce is gloomy even when he's not wearing his costume, and he is kind of a dick for no reason, which is completely different from the first series.
The DCAU had Bruce become more bitter and jaded over time. By the time of Beyond he's really cynical. He remains just as heroic throughout, though.
