History YMMV / AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder

* VillainProtagonist/ NominalHero: Batman is this.

* FanNickname: He is called "The Goddamned Batman" to distinguish him from his mainstream counterpart. In his text reviews, [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] ends up calling this version BINO, Batman InNameOnly. In the video review, he decides that even that name is too Battish, and dubs the character Crazy Steve, a random insane hobo who found a Batsuit somewhere, killed Batman, and then stole Batman's life. Later after seeing Franchise/WonderWoman [[StrawFeminist also acting way out of character]], he dubs her Bonkers Betty, an escaped mental patient who found a Woman Woman costume and trench coat, and now runs around hating men. He also gives one to Black Canary.

* HarsherInHindsight: The 1994 ''Batman/Spawn''[[note]]also written by Frank Miller[[/note]] crossover had Batman riled up at Spawn's lethal methods, vexing him to the point where he chucked a batarang in his face. At the time it was understandable; in ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' and ''ComicBook/BatmanYearOne'' he never used lethal force. After his child abusing, cop killing antics in ''All Star Batman'' his attitude towards Spawn killing a CompleteMonster seems flat out hypocritical.

* DesignatedHero: Batman, and ''how''. He's psychotic, unstable, an all round {{Jerkass}}, who kidnaps Dick Grayson, gleefully commits murder, and barely does anything heroic, and yet somehow the reader is supposed to side with him.

* DesignatedHero: Batman, and HOW. He's psychotic, unstable, all around a {{Jerkass}}, KIDNAPS Dick Grayson, gleefully commits murder, and all round barely does anything heroic, and yet somehow the reader is supposed to side with him.

** There's also the absolute insistence that it absolutely must be a parody and that Frank Miller is just having a laugh at everyone's expectations of him, when there's little to no supporting evidence that the comic is intended as SelfDeprecation.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Many fans like to believe that this story (and TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain) is in no way connected to Year One and ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''.

* UnfortunateImplications: the reason [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] decides to call Batman "a hobo named Crazy Steve".

* AwesomeArt: Say what you want to about the writing, but the art is ''amazing'', both Lee's interiors and Miller's covers.
** The art is what's been selling the book. All the critics who absolutely hated the writing said DC could do the fans a better service by reprinting the books with blank speech bubbles.

* SignatureScene: Guess.

** Other superheroes such as Black Canary, Plastic Man, and Wonder Woman appear in the comic, and Frank Miller writes them all as psychotic murderers with no regard for what their mainstream counterparts are.

** Other superheroes such as Black Cannery, Plastic Man, and Wonder Woman appear in the comic, and Frank Millar writes them all as psychotic murders with no regard for what theire mainstream counterparts are.

** The batcave has a wall of weapons that Batman in any normal story would never use, including guns in it. That's all.
** Other superheroes such as Black Cannery, Plastic Man, and Wonder Woman appear in the comic, and Frank Millar writes them all as psychotic murders with no regard for what they're main stream counterparts are.

* CreatorsPet: BATMAN. This is one of those stories where the rest of the heroes are presented as incompetent, or insane in this case, just to make him look better.

* CannonSue: Batman

** Other superheroes such as Black Cannery, Plastic Man, and Wonder Woman appear in the comic, and Frank Millar all rights them as psychotic murders with regard for what they're main stream counterparts are.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: When Green Lantern confronts Batman, he points out that Batman is hospitalising people with his excessive violence and endangering a boy as young as Dick.

** The love scene between Batman and Black Canary also count. In the story, they have make out while keeping their mask on. The scene might be Squick, sexy, or even outright funny to some people. Fast forward three years later, Batman and Catwomen have SEX with their mask on. The scene is [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/3372244.html?#cutid1 here]] if you want to check it out(NSFW)
