Hilarity ensued.On Februthe comic was submitted to Imgur by user Robban39 under the title 'Daily Struggle' and has been viewed over 1,275,000 times. A version of this meme with empty word balloons lets other people come up with ideas on what Robin could say to Batman that would make him mad enough to slap him like that.

The shocking nature of Batman slapping Robin like that made someone thin of other reasons why Batman might slap Robin, and came up with the idea that Robin asked Batman what the Dark Knight's parents was going to get him for Christmas, which enraged the (way too obsessed and tightly wound) Batman into slapping him. He ended up taking in Robin just like in the real comics, but when Robin figured out Batman's plan, he tries to stop him and instead gets a good face-slapping (and then his memory wiped clean). He became a superhero just to eventually get close enough to Superman in order to kill him. He devoted his whole life to getting revenge on Superboy (later, Superman). This meme using a panel from an old issue of 'World's Finest Comics' about an alternate reality where Batman was convinced as a young boy that Superboy murdered Thomas Wayne. One popular one adds a drawing of a bike and the GIF is suddenly now 'Why are you stealing my bike, Batman?' And Batman's frantic looks on his face works with a guy who just stole a kid's bike just as well as it goes with a guy trying to get rid of a bomb before it blows up. That, in and of itself, is funny, but people over the years have also added in other objects in place of the bomb. In addition, since what is happening on the actual show is so absurd, it adapts well to memes that superimpose even more absurd objects into the scenes.įor instance, in the very popular 'Somedays, you just can't get of a bomb!' GIF, it shows Batman running around with an absurdly over-sized bomb.

That over-the-top nature makes clips from the show transfer to GIFs really well, because even in small details you can easily get across what Batman is thinking. One of the hallmarks of the 'Batman' series was that the show was incredibly campy and over-the-top. Another great sources for memes is the 1960s 'Batman' TV series.
