YMMV / Badman

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Batman always genuinely dumb, or does he sometimes play it up to get an advantage over his villains? While there are moments where he makes some genuinely stupid mistakes, such as mistaking a party clown and a mime for the Joker within minutes of each other, his behavior when he encountered Two-Face seemed more like he was intentionally annoying Dent so that he could get the drop on him.
• Crosses the Line Twice: The entirety of Batman vs. the Penguin. Some highlights include:
  • When Gordon and Penguin are asking why Batman killed one of Penguin's mooks with a Batarang, Batman says that the mook isn't dead, just sleeping.
    Batman: (about the mook with a Batarang protruding from his face): Look at him. He's all tuckered out.
  • Batman doesn't realize that not only are his opponents dead, but so are his pet fish and even his parents. He thinks that they are just living in a farm upstate, where they churn buttermilk, romp and play, and send him emails from a hammock made of dreams. So when Gordon explains that his fish (Dr. Fishy) actually died, he tries to use this to explain what happened.
    Batman: But my fish. He went to sleep, and we flushed him down the toilet. He's in the ocean right now, he's alive!
    Penguin: No, he's dead.
    Batman: DR. FISHY! NOOOOOOO!!!!!
    Gordon: See Batman, what you did to Dr. Fishy is what you've done to these men.
    Batman: I overfed these men?!
    • The conversation eventually leads to Batman concluding that sleeping is actually death, and vice-versa.
  • Batman's constant innuendos in Batman Can't Stop Thinking About Sex. To the point where Bane is visibly disgusted.
    Batman: How was that by the way? I hadn’t showered that day, and I fight crime in a rubber suit. Really seals in the flavor.
    Bane: Ugh, dude, Jesus.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: This series introduced hypothetical gritty versions of Penguin and Riddler. The Batman (2022) has actual gritty versions of the two villains.
• Memetic Mutation: "Harvey Dent, can he be trusted?"
