10 Batshit Crazy Comic Panels We Couldn't Stop Laughing At
Thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and despite the DC Extended Universe), superheroes have become so mainstream that there are those who consider themselves comic fans who've never so much as cracked the pages of the source material. Considering that fact, we thought it might be fun to take some of the most inexplicably shithouse crazy panels from comic book history and try to make sense of them through the eyes of someone who's completely unfamiliar with the context.
It turns out, you can't. You can't do it. Want proof?This Motherfucker Has Babies For HandsTo say that Master Pandemonium is sort of a weird supervillain is like saying a live hedgehog is sort of a bad form of birth control. How does having baby arms not baby arms as in Deadpool growing back his missing hand, mind you, but baby arms as in actual babies for arms make him "unbeatable" as he claims above? What's his signature move, smacking you with a red headed stepchild? Can he even feed himself, or does every hot dog he picks up from a street vendor hilariously disappear a la Bugs Bunny's carrot before it reaches his lips?
Of course, it's possible that Monsieur Pandemonium was referring to an altogether different connotation of "unbeatable." After all, the man can't even soap up his taint in the shower without facing 25 to life and a yearly check in with the sex offender registry.
Sure, we could explain in depth the backstory there, try to put it into some sort of context. We just choose not to. Because who hasn't had that recurring nightmare in which their father grows to gargantuan size and deals them a swift, hurts so good kind of spanking?
Anyway, moving right along: This Superman panel is completely fucked up and not at all like anything we've ever experienced. But despite what it may look like namely, that Jor El has scarfed Alice's "EAT ME" cake and is spanking Supes with a hand bigger than he is this is not cheap patriots jerseys a nightmare. Nope, Superman is absolutely enjoying the hell out cheap cowboys jerseys of that shit. Just look at his word bubble: "Punish me, Daddy! I deserve it." It would appear Big Blue has needs that Lois Lane ain't quite fulfilling, if you catch our drift.
Little did he know there was someone conveniently close by who could've enthusiastically helped him out with that.
"AND THE MEMORY OF THIS IS QUICKLY RUBBED OFF TO LATER IN THE BATCAVE."
Batman seemingly prefers his women quiet, au naturale, and. um, resistant. "Quiet or Papa spank!" Quiet. Or Papa spank. If there were such a thing as a loving God, this phrase would have found its way verbatim (and often) into the Nolan trilogy.
And just in case you're not yet convinced that Batman has a "thing" for corporal punishment:
Yes, that appears to be Robin aka Dick Grayson he's giving a playful spanking to. But, hey, that was the 1940s and back then men probably gave their young crime fighting assistants birthday spankings all the time, even when it wasn't their birthday. We certainly shouldn't assume anything weird about their relationship from that.
Here we see the multi millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, better known to those of us peeking into his universe through the window of omniscience as Batman, awaking from a restful slumber alongside Dick Grayson, his young ward who apparently also sleeps in his bed. The narration makes it clear that this is not the errant aftermath of a Friday night Netflix binge, but rather how every single morning at Wayne Manor a sprawling estate with a number of bedrooms capable of singularly solving Gotham City's homeless problem begins.
But we're probably reading too much into it. When Bruce spends his days putting the Boy Wonder (emphasis on the "boy") in mortal danger, the least he can do is protect him from the boogeyman at night. He cares about him! He
All right, we could probably do this all day.
Big Marvel's House
Here we join Spider Man and Daredevil amid a pitched battle over who has the raddest new costume: Spidey's sweet ass black and white ensemble, or Red's painstaking Kingpin cosplay. At least we hope it's a costume, because otherwise Matt Murdock has gone full on Buffalo Bill and sewn his mortal enemy into a skinsuit.
