History YMMV / Batman

* FetishFuel: {{Batgirl}} and Catwomen!
** Yvonne Craig as Batgirl
** Julie Newmar or Eartha Kitt as Catwoman

* Main/FetishFuel: The Joker poisons two pretty fashion models, strips them, paints their skin white and their hair green, dresses them in revealing swimsuits, and [[{{Squick}} uses their corpses as ventriloquist dummies in a "funny" TV commercial]]. Sure, [[AndThatsTerrible it's horribly wrong]]....but it's also very much a turn-on for some people. ("''Love'' that Joker!")

* StoryBreakerTeamUp: Whenever the Bat-mite shows up.

* HateDumb: The complaints from " Batman fans" that this show nearly ruined Batman and didn't get him at all. At the time of the comics this was how Batman was portrayed. Actually the comics were even more stupid and played straight. (Just go to Superdickery.com and see). Batman was only "dark" for a brief period of time when he first started and then dissolved into a colorful superhero that the series represented. It wasn't until the 70's did Batman return to his darker roots, after this show had ended. Nevermind the fact that this show launched Batman into popculture and saved the comics from cancellation.

* LawfulGood: The Batman of this incarnation, as demonstrated in [[http://kundor.org/pub/batman-alignment.jpg this rather large image]].
-->'''Batman:''' "Better put 5 cents in the meter."
-->'''Robin:''' "No policeman's going to give ''the Batmobile'' a ticket!"
-->'''Batman:''' "No matter, Robin. This money goes to building better roads. We all must do our part. Good citizenship, you know."

* CharacterAlignment: Batman is one of the reasons these are debatable. DependingOnTheWriter, Batman can be either LawfulGood (upholds law, seeks to impose order on chaos, and has a strict moral code) or ChaoticGood (rejects authority, imposes his own brand of justice, and doesn't play well with others).

* YMMV/BatmanArkhamCity

** Even before his transformation it is shown that Napier was ''always'' a CompleteMonster, at least since the later years of his childhood. Arguably, Bruce's impression of him in the nightmarish "Childhood Remembered" flashback is Napier at his worst.
** To elaborate on the above point, in the flashback, he was the one who murdered Bruce Wayne's parents, and his unnamed accomplice's reaction to it implied that killing the Waynes was certainly not part of the plan (apparently stealing Mrs. Wayne's pearls was really the only thing they definitely planned), and [[EvenEvilHasStandards probably was aghast by it]]. Napier also approaches Bruce Wayne shortly after committing this act and asks him if he's ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight and approaches him while aiming his gun at him and setting it to fire while giving a [[SlasherSmile nightmarish grin]], implying that he intended to murder Bruce Wayne as well. Literally the only reason why he spared him was because his accomplice told him to get out of there while fleeing.

* AdaptationDecay: Although the tone of the show is true to the overall tone of the comic books at the time, the series implies that Bruce Wayne's father was a lawyer, and that his parents were killed by multiple criminals.

* AdaptationDecay: How much depends on the installment and who you ask, but it's generally acknowledged that it increased as the series went on.
** Arguably, it started with removing Joe Chill and making Joker the killer of Bruce's parents. The killer of Bruce's parents was never supposed to be a major character in the source material, or one whose identity was even important at all. However, [[YourMileageMayVary some cite]] the AdaptationDistillation in that it streamlines Batman's arch-nemesis'x with the criminal who inspired him to become a vigilante.
** The Batman in this version does not have his usual ThouShaltNotKill stance (at least not explicitly.) And while he doesn't explicitly kill anyone, he dispatches dozens of mooks using methods that seem extremely likely to have caused fatal injuries.

* YMMV/BatmanReturns
* YMMV/BatmanAndRobin

** The Batman in this version does not have his usual ThouShaltNotKill stance, but is instead seen killing dozens of mooks in the first two movies.

** Really? I didn't even know this series ever tackled the issue of Batman's parents, such a Grimdark backstory would seem wildly out of place. I'd have expected something more along the lines of Bruce Wayne being the latest in a long line of Batmen going back to Colonial days...
*** Bruce's parents' death at the hands of "criminals" is mentioned twice in the very first episode(s) and then never again in the series, as far as this troper recalls.
** It was mentioned in at least one other episode.

!!Examples from [[{{Series/Batman}} ''Batman'']], the 1966 TV Series

* FoeYay: Catwoman. Unfortunate'''ly'''. Talia Al Ghul, A little with Poison Ivy and Harleyquinn. An interesting interplay with the Joker (the scene where he holds him in his arms while telling Gordon he will not let him die) And he renews that offer of rehabilitation with regularity.

* [[YMMV/Ptitle5uq5gr2j Batman: The Brave And The Bold]]

!!Examples from ''Film/{{Batman}}'', the 1989 movie

* WhatAnIdiot: The second of Joker's three goons at the top of the cathedral is a big fat guy who tries to jump down on him from a higher platform. And promptly falls through the floor before Batman even has time to turn around. Also qualifies as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.
