He said boner.
I got this off a site called Superdickery that swears it's real. It's from an old Batman comic that actually uses the word "boner" amusingly several times. Check out this panel:
Just one time would have been mildly amusing, but this was an entire issue about the Joker trying to force Batman into a boner. Cue Butthead-esque laughter.
What I also like about that second panel is how Batman and Robin are wearing their costumes around the house. They're on the phone, doing household chores, checking out the library, with these spandex tights and capes on. You never saw Michael Keaton do that in the movies!
It does seem like a needless chance to take. I mean, what if someone shows up at the front door while they're in their superhero costumes? They'd have to awkwardly change real quick while telling the visitors to "hold on a sec" through the door or something. Why not just leave that stuff in the Batcave?
My thanks to FARK for the link. Any time you see immature, goofball links like this on The Inertia, there's always a 99% chance they come from FARK.

ReplyDeleteI think that's probably the main reason why they have Alfred. Think about it: he can answer the door while they change back into their normal clothes. If need be, he can offer the visitor a drink and maybe even an hors d'oeuvre or two. Plenty of time for the Dynamic Duo to become Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson again!
It's a good point. I guess I just don't see the sense in wearing the Batman outfit inside his own home. I mean, construction workers don't watch the game in their dens with the orange vests and yellow hats on, right? Why would Bruce Wayne keep his suit on to do a bit of Spring Cleaning?
