* ASSBAR: ''[[ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder All-Star Batman And Robin]]''. Aside from the convenient acronym, the book is generally not held in high regard.
* [=AzBats=]: The [[ComicBook/{{Azrael}} Jean-Paul Valley]] version of Batman who took over as an AntiHeroSubstitute when Batman was paralyzed.
* Babsgirl- the nickname for the second ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, Barbara Gordon. Usually used for the New 52 incarnation and often disparagingly.
* Batawang - the controversy over a certain portion of Bruce Wayne being visible in the uncensored version of ''Batman: Damned'' #1. More generally, the body part in question in any context.
* Bat-Dick: Bruce Wayne during some of his more paranoid and misanthropic moments. Not to be confused with "Dickbats".
** Also, "the Goddamn Batdick" in a one-two punch.
* Batgirling: The concept of taking a character out of their usual comfort zones and trying to reinvent them to be more grounded with today's society. It's named after the successful change in ''ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2011}}'', which tossed Barbara Gordon into the Burnside area and reinvented her costume to be more down to Earth and simpler. It was reportedly also used in the DC offices.
* Bat-God- Batman as written by Grant Morrison, beginning during his JLA run, who is able to solve any problem with "prep-time".
* Bat-Hat - The bat-eared Russian fur cap that Batman wears in the {{Elseworld}} ''Comicbook/SupermanRedSon''. Also called the Sexy Bat-Hat, because general consensus is that it's the sexiest damn thing found in comics ever. (It is natural to want to touch a hat so sexy.)
* Bats - Batman
** [[Comicbook/TheJoker Batsy!]] (Yes, he's been called that by some fans too.)
* The Bright Knight: [[Series/Batman1966 The Adam West Batman]] since he was a kind, positive and somewhat dorky role model to children everywhere unlike the dark, brooding incarnations before and after.

* Demon Brat: Damian Wayne.
* Dickbats - Dick Grayson during his time as Batman, from 2009 to 2011.

* Eggplant Wonder: [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2009}} Stephanie Brown]] as Spoiler, Robin, or Batgirl, after the colour of her Spoiler outfit.
* El Bromas ("Mr. Jokes"): Joker among Hispanics, after rumors that his [[Film/Joker2019 2019 film]] would be translated in Spain as such[[note]]his official name in Latin America is "Guasón", which is how Mexican distributors originally translated "Joker"[[/note]]. Although the official Spaniard title turned out to be "Joker", the joke stuck due to [[BlindIdiotTranslation the poor translations Spaniard dubs are famous for]].
** "Coringa", which is his official name in Brazil, also became another fan nickname for Joker in the rest of South America.
* Fingerstripes: Tumblr's (especially fyeahdickgrayson's) nickname for the two blue fingers of each hand of Nightwing's costume.
* Flips-n-Shit: Any of the Batfamily's urban acrobatics, especially Nightwing's.
* The Goddamned Batman - Franchise/{{Batman}}, especially during his more sociopathic moments. Comes from [[http://farm1.static.flickr.com/49/109633231_3c478c15e1.jpg an actual quote]] from Frank Miller's crazy run on ''All-Star Batman & Robin''.
** Some fans specifically refer to Frank Miller's version as The Goddamned Batman, to differentiate him from the [[strike: real]] mainstream version. For similar reasons, ''All-Star Batman & Robin'' is commonly referred to as ASSBAR.
** The ASBAR Batman can also be "BINO" ("Batman in Name Only")
** Or [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Crazy Steve]].
** The nickname has been used when referring to the (mildly) DarkerAndEdgier Nolan films, particularly ''[[Film/TheDarkKnight TDK]]''- occasionally 'Gosh Darn Batman' in reference to the... ambiguous PG-13 rating. ''([[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence Mommy? I'm scared.]])''
** 'Gosh Darn Batman' has also been used as a parody of the name in an issue of ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman''.
* [=GunBats=]: Jason Todd's psychopathic gun-wielding Batman.
** He is also known as [=GatMan=].
* Jaybird: Jason Todd once called Dick Grayson "Dickiebird", and fandom said "hey, wait..." This later became Roy Harper's [[AscendedFanon canon]] nickname for Jason in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws''.
* For Jim Gordon as Batman there's Jimbats, in keeping with the "Dickbats" format.
** Or, there's Commissioner Batman.
** ''Or'', Bat Bunny. Since his identity was kept a secret before the story started, people only recognised him by his powered armour, which more resembled a bunny than a Bat, hence the name. These days, the name is used to refer to the armour specifically.
* [[LittleMissBadass Little Miss]] {{Ninja}} [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Goddess]] - [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2000}} Cassandra Cain]]

* Supermenso ''(lit. Supermoron in Spanish)'' - His nickname in the Mexican comic book fandom.
* Supes - Comicbook/{{Superman}} (pronounced like "soups").

* Supertorso - One of the incarnations of Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, specifically in her short-skirted, midriff-baring, whisper-thin mid-2000s DorkAge.

** Super-DC-Fanboy Prime
* Given his depiction in ''ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd'', many call that Superman "Bearded Idiot" as a result of [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]
* Not quite a ''nickname'' per se, but using his initials in [[HoYay the same context]] as [[ThemeInitials Lois Lane's]] often crops up in discussions of ComicBook/LexLuthor; e.g.: "the other L.L."
** 'Other'? What about Lori Lemaris, Lupé Leocadio, Lana Lang, Lena Luthor, Lionel Luthor, etc., etc...

* {{Mary Sue}}perman: Nickname for the perfect, can-do-no-wrong version of Superman, by fans of the more fallible version of him from ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
* Thanks to ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' bringing back the Pre-New 52 Superman and making him a father, fans have taken to calling him Superdad, to differentiate him from the New 52 one.
* As a result of the above and the implication from ''Rebirth'' that the New 52 Superman wasn't the ''original'' (as Super Dad seemingly is), many have taken to calling New 52 Superman '[=NuSupes=]'.
[[AC:Franchise/WonderWoman]]
* "Wondy" is a common nickname for Franchise/WonderWoman, "Polly" for Hippolyta (actually originating from a brief use in [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]]) and "Temi" for ComicBook/{{Artemis}}. The current ComicBook/WonderGirl, Cassie Sandsmark has a few...unflattering nicknames herself.
** "Shamazons" is the common nickname for the spectacularly misconceived ''ComicBook/AmazonsAttack''.
** "Heinboot" is also the nickname for Wonder Woman's post-''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2006 reboot by Alan Heinberg]].
** Wonder Woman fans even have nicknames for various costumes."Bathing suit" and "star spangled panties" for the regular costume, "The Screaming Chicken Armor" for her ''Kingdom Come'' eagle armor, and "The Christmas Sweater" for Cassie Wonder Girl's current costume.
** Completing Linkara's Trinity, there's Bonkers Betty, which is what he calls the ASSBAR version.
** "Di", short for Diana, is one that sees usage in both the comics and fandom.
** "Warrior Woman" is also one that comes up, usually derogatory, when fans think writers are placing her warrior traits/characteristics at the expense of her other personality traits.[[note]]The character was originally conceived as a strong MartialPacifist who would go to great efforts to reform defeated enemies. However, certain later writers have controversially taken more of a "classical Greek warrior in the modern day" approach, at times explicitly depicting her as the one leading DC hero who is willing to intentionally kill people if the circumstances are extreme enough to justify it[[/note]]

** Billy Batson's alter ego has canon in-universe nicknames that have been adopted by fans. "The Big Red Cheese" is the oldest and most famous having originated in the Creator/FawcettComics era but "Captain Sparklefingers" from [[Film/Shazam2019 the movie]] caught on fast.

** Incidentally, Hawkman is sometimes referred to as "[[ContinuitySnarl Hawk-Snarl]]".
* "Magnus Robot Fucker" is a sometimes used nickname for DC Comics scientist [[ComicBook/MetalMen Will Magnus]]. It's a pun on the title ''ComicBook/MagnusRobotFighter'' and a comment on Magnus's [[KissMeImVirtual relationship]] with [[RobotGirl Platinum.]]

* ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' is so reviled it defies having a nickname. It's name is simply pronounced in a tone of withering disgust, conveyed through the internet with italics, emphatic ellipses, or is preceded by notation such as *seethes* or *grinds teeth* or *groans*

** "The Stick" - A nickname for detractors, commenting on her sudden weight loss in the ComicBook/{{New 52}}.

** Also, "the Goddamn Batdick" in a one-two punch.
* Batgirling: The concept of taking a character out of their usual comfort zones and trying to reinvent them to be more grounded with today's society. It's named after the successful change in ''ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2011}}'', which tossed Barbara Gordon into the Burnside area and reinvented her costume to be more down to Earth and simpler. It was reportedly also used in the DC offices.
* Bat-God- Batman as written by Grant Morrison, beginning during his JLA run, who is able to solve any problem with "prep-time".
* Bat-Hat - The bat-eared Russian fur cap that Batman wears in the {{Elseworld}} ''Comicbook/SupermanRedSon''. Also called the Sexy Bat-Hat, because general consensus is that it's the sexiest damn thing found in comics ever. (It is natural to want to touch a hat so sexy.)
* Bats - Batman
** [[Comicbook/TheJoker Batsy!]] (Yes, he's been called that by some fans too.)

Although the official Spaniard title turned out to be "Joker", the joke stuck due to [[BlindIdiotTranslation the poor translations Spaniard dubs are famous for]].

* Flips-n-Shit: Any of the Batfamily's urban acrobatics, especially Nightwing's.

* For Jim Gordon as Batman there's Jimbats, in keeping with the "Dickbats" format.
** Or, there's Commissioner Batman.

* [[LittleMissBadass Little Miss]] {{Ninja}} [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Goddess]] - [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2000}} Cassandra Cain]]

* Given his depiction in ''ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd'', many call that Superman "Bearded Idiot" as a result of [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]
* Not quite a ''nickname'' per se, but using his initials in [[HoYay the same context]] as [[ThemeInitials Lois Lane's]] often crops up in discussions of ComicBook/LexLuthor; e.g.: "the other L.L."
** 'Other'? What about Lori Lemaris, Lupé Leocadio, Lana Lang, Lena Luthor, Lionel Luthor, etc., etc...
*** To the point that one comic llampshaded this with a llama.
* {{Mary Sue}}perman: Nickname for the perfect, can-do-no-wrong version of Superman, by fans of the more fallible version of him from ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.

* Captain Strawman: [[WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite Manchester Black]], for the obvious efforts to make him look as bad as possible so we don't side with him.
* [=NuWally=] - The New 52 version of Wally West, later retconned to be the original's cousin, to distinguish him from the original incarnation due to how different they are.
[[AC:Vertigo]]
* The big blue junk - Dr. Manhattan's... erm... equipment in ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''.
** Downtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, the Manhattan meatpacking district...

* Before the evil author finally wrote in the names of Snow and Bigby's children in ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'', some of them had fan nicknames. Most common was "Puff" for [[spoiler: the seventh, an invisible wind-sprite]] to the point where there was even a filk about "Puff the Magic Wind Cub." Eventually, his name was revealled to be "Ghost." Apparently, Bigby wants his kiddies names to sound cooler.
