Batman Needs to Man Up

Published by Paul Tassi at 1:00 pm under Comics,Images

Your parents die, you become Batman. That’s pretty much standard comic book lore, but it’s a plot device that’s used far more often than you might imagine.

In this comic that’s a hell of a lot longer than what you see above, Batman learns that he needs to stop crying about his parents, because half of his contemporaries share the same issue, or worse.

I think Superman’s story is actually the saddest, but at least he has awesome superpowers to cheer him up.

Check out the rest of the comic below:

Wolverine killed both his parents? And shouldn’t that be Aunt and Uncle for Spidey? I have been out of the comics loop for so long I don’t know any more.

Ditto Lt.
And were Caps parents dead when he became Cap?

I laughed, a lot.
Dam, I didn’t imagine you need to lose your all family to become a superhero. Guess I’ll have to wait a little.

I still think Green Arrow takes the cake.

Parents killed by lions on safari (because he didn’t shoot them).
Stranded on an island.
His ward becomes a heroin addict.
Loses his fortune.
His girlfriend repeatedly turns down his proposals.
He gets raped by his (female) enemy (who gets pregnant).
Forced to kill his best friend.
Dies.
Is resurrected without a soul.
Finally marries his girlfriend!
But she breaks up with him after he gets arrested.
Now lives in a forest.

But then again, Green Arrow is a b-lister and doesn’t deserve attention. Woe is him.

Lol, dude, face it, he’s worse than Aquaman, and that’s before Aquaman got a dose of badass shot straight in his penis.

Uh, Wolverine may have killed his possible real father, but his father who raised him was murdered and his mom killed herself.

I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but Green Arrow getting raped sounds kinda lame. I’m glad I didn’t accidentally pay for that issue.
