History WMG / AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder

** OMG, it makes total sense! [[Characters/SupermanTheCharacter Superman]] [[MediumAwareness fooling around "on set" while being "in character" because he knows just how bad the comic (read:movie) he's in is]].

-->You know I couldn't help but laugh,
-->Even though he treated me like slime!

-->Remember when he cut my car in half?
-->''[[SlasherSmile Well he really got me good that time!]]''

** To be fair, ''[[DirtyCop these]]'' cops kinda [[AssholeVictim deserved it]].

** Well, they never would have, but you just [[NiceJobBreakingItHero told them where he was!]]

The idea goes that Barney is a teenager living in Gotham City. He's got a lot of issues like absent parents, repressed sexual frustrations, doubts about his masculinity, violent impulses, self gratification, and just being a jackass. The highlightof his life is when he gets saved by Batman from a mugger. Afterwards Barney gets detention at school, perhaps at ''ComicBook/GothamAcademy'', after he beats up a kid who was saying he thinks Green Lantern is the coolest member of the Justice League. In his journal, Barney scribbles down a story where everything he wants gets mixed in with what he actually thinks Batman is like. This results in his violent and crazy tendencies, as well as his speech patterns, to be put into Batman. Robin is a reflection of how Barney sees himself as a victim who Batman wants to turn into a hero. He once saw a picture of Vicki Vale in the paper or something and got a massive hard-on for her, so he writes her as his heavily sexed up dream girl. He also has a lust for Black Canary, but he knows zilch about her and writes the Irish barmaid thing because his mother is Irish-American and works at a bar (which means he probably has a strange desire for his Mum that he doesn't realize he has). He portrays Superman and Hal Jordan as idiots because he's a Batman fanboy and doesn't want the others to be competent. Wonder Woman? Barney's a huge misogynist because real girls think he's a creep. All the wanton murder is how he wishes he could deal with classmates who dislike him. The casual insults towards homosexuals is because his dad is homophobic and rants drunk about "Queers" when he's actually home. The Joker is Barney's "dark side" and represents the villain he could become if nobody helps him, but he doesn't recognize this himself. Bruno is there because he was learning about Nazi atrocities in class, thought they were "cool", and thought another nearly naked woman would be hot. Batgirl isn't his twisted, "sexy" version of her because Barney, for all his faults, actually respects her since she works with Batman. The messed up time scale is because he could only write so much during each time he had detention. Since he was extremely angry every time he went, he didn't exactly has logic on his mind regarding that issue. The reason the story abruptly ends is because a concerned classmate finds his journal and shows it to a teacher, which leads to Barney having to undergo some therapy. If ASBAR someday does get a follow up, that'll mean that Barney has run away into the city to wreak havoc.

* Someone in DC must have read this page... [[ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal The Dark Knights of Barbartos]] are Practically 7 Crazy Steves, each amplified with one of Justice League's power. And it's not just decent - it's awesome.

According to Dark Nights: Metal, there's an infinite multiverse of all the fears of the main multiverse's peoples. What caused the creation of ASBAR Batman? Simple: according to Grant Morrison, Batman has experimented with drugs. All the drugs. Weapons grade heroin being one of the more infamous examples. ASBAR Batman is what happens when a main universe Batman decided he needed to find out what would happen to him if he took a powerful dose of Scarecrow's Fear Toxin, Joker's Joker toxin, Bane's Venom, Poison Ivy's mind control spores, Lazarus Pit juice, cocaine, acid, methamphetamine, spice and bath salts all at the same time. The resulting absolute mindfuck of a bad trip made him hallucinate the personality of Crazy Steve, and since then it's been one of his greatest fears, causing the Dark Multiverse to spit out this abomination. Even Barbaros and The Batman-Who-Laughs won't touch Crazy Steve, because they don't trust him to follow orders or not just destroy absolutely everything. Bonus WMG: Holy Terror is the result of another version of Batman trying this same experiment... while watching War on Terror footage on an endless multiscreen loop A Clockwork Orange style.

It's simple. A few years before the comic starts, Batman entered into a confrontation with the Joker. Unlike in the standard continuity, in THIS story, Batman killed someone. Doesn't matter who, doesn't matter how. His one rule shattered, the Dark Knight became what he always feared he'd be; just another psychopath in a costume running rampant in the streets of Gotham. Slowly but surely, his personality began to unravel. First he lost his compulsion to avoid killing, then his disinterest in external validation and sexual gratification, and finally he lost all moral bearing whatsoever. Word spread of the new brutal Batman, inspiring other people with similar capacity for wanton violence to hurt people to get what they wanted, or just because they could (see Black Canary). Wonder Woman caught wind of his reputation as well, and since Batman is supposed to be the ultimate representation of the capabilities of mankind as THE BadassNormal superhero, she decided that his behavior was representative of men as a gender and became deeply misogynistic. Batman's insanity has driven a rift between him and Alfred, but Alfred couldn't bear to abandon him, having raised Bruce as a son. Finally, the Joker, disillusioned with how easily corrupted Batman had been in the end, entered a depressed funk, as he's been known to do when Batman ceases to exist.

Frank did say it wasn't a parody.Plus its a FountainOfMemes for the goddamn Batman.Frank [[GenreSavvy was aware]] he'd suffered a CreatorBreakdown,so he decided to do the best he could:create a Narm filled comic that we can't help but laugh at how stupid it is.

* Someone in DC must have read this page... [[ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal Red Death]] is Practically Crazy Steve with Speedforce. Dawnbreak is practically a colder Crazy Steve with the Green latern ring. And it's not just decent - it's awesome.

* Someone in DC must have read this page... [[ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal Red Death]] is Practically Crazy Steve. With Speedforce.

* Joker. In fact, I'm gonna go one further - Batman and Joker are ''disguised as each other'', given how they act like each other. They're just parodying each other in the most deliberate, stupidest ways possible.

After he watched Film/BatmanBegins, Batmite got the idea of giving the DarkerAndEdgier Batman story the people have always wanted. The sad thing is, he hired some moron named Frank who made him flanderize everyone and stick random DC superheroes in it (like Plastic Man of all people) until Batmite finally got sick of it and handed the project to Frank.

* maybe they'll make a movie that is one big TakeThat to FrankMiller with Crazy Steve as a fugitive from Arkham who got amnesia after using a Batman Halloween costume as pajamas

[[WMG:FrankMiller has lost his feeble mind.]]

[[WMG:FrankMiller is writing one StealthParody after the other.]]

However, it will be titled THE GODDAMNED BATMAN, it will be the highest selling comic of all time, and will be a full on parody of the Dark Age of comics. RobLiefeld will draw it, and it will SOMEHOW be glorious.

WordOfGod is these are the same characters that later appear in ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns and TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain. In those stories, Dick Grayson was [[spoiler: a murderous, sexually ambiguous MonsterClown who was convinced Batman was molesting his sidekick]]. It's never explained how this could have happened to one of DC's oldest and most successful heroes. On the other hand, this is a Dick Grayson who was abducted from the site of his parents' murder by a psychotic cop murderer who was already stalking him even before he was orphaned, and who locks him a cave and forces him to eat rats to survive. Any child with trauma like that isn't going to grow up to be Nightwing.

** Didn't he say himself that their first time happened down in the sewers?
