Hi doom
>I would've brought my autograph book!
>t. Batman
Epic clownster man dabbing on normies
Didnt this guy go to jail

ayo gypsy
>t. Gamer
1. He was a unique villain during an era where most supervillains were generic mad scientists
2. He had a scary smile that looks intimidating.
3. He had plot armor during a time when most villains died at the end of the story
4. Batman was a VERY popular comic book so naturally his rogue's gallery would get extra attention
Yeah but he doesnt have superpowers.
He probably has some kind of BS "super lucky" superpower like Domino over at Marvel that explains why he always miraculously survives every explosion or vehicle crash he gets stuck in
Theatrics are more important than having a super power. Batman's only power is being rich and he's the most popular superhero.
No he is not lmfao. Superman is the most famous and Spiderman the most popular.
Those three are top three
Nope, sorry spiderdicklet.
>Unironically using google trends as a gauge for popularity
How young are you?
Lmao imagine your cope being to pretend google trends isn't literally the most accurate way of gauging how famous something is. You self-inserting as a badly-written cardboard mascot for nurseryschoolers at age 50 doesn't change the reality that it is. 2nd most accurate way is porncount.
honestly I don't have stats to back up my claims, only the fact that when i was a kid everyone my age was obsessed with spiderman
neither does batman, whats your point?
He had an edge to him that other villains lacked.
He's a perfect villain
Copied from another thread, thought this was interesting:
Evil clowns have been a cliche literally since forever; evil jesters were a done-to-death archetype in opera and literature. Many early depictions of Death or the devil even give them a jester-like costume.
Clowns were also a stock villain in George Melies early films. In fact, since Melies' ''Le Nuitmare'' from 1897 is often considered the second horror film ever made (Melies earlier film "Le Manoir Du Diable'' from 1896 was filmed earlier but released simultaneously with Nuitmare), you could say evil clowns were among the first movie monsters ever.
>Evil clowns
this
same reason the reboots of Stephen King's IT grossed like a billion dollars too
I mean Dragon Ball's most popular villain is a gay lizard mime from space, tastes are weird
>effective design that isn't too simple or over-the-top
>easy to work with clown theme
>can work as either a comedic lighthearted villain or a dark edgy villain
>archenemy to the most popular superhero
Much like Batman, versatility and luck.
Batman can be anything, and so can the Joker.
You need goofy camp, they fit.
You need gritty realism, they fit.
You need over the top serious action, they fit.
Because he was unpredictable, got dark as frick at times, and he would do some fricked-up shit you wouldn't see coming. And his voice was epic.
Clown is one of the archtypes that are encoded into the soul of man.
When cape villains were goofy he was the goofiest
When cape villains were edgy he was the edgiest
When everyone took terrorism seriously he had a famous actor die making terrorism look cool
Now when western society is falling apart he's the face of Clown World
>muh westeen society
have a nice day
go pop another HRT pill, spidertroony
You're cancer
The Batman universe simply nailed it in almost every regard. Recurring Batman villains are almost all popular. Even casuals can name most of them while other comic universes are lucky if they have one or two memorable villains. I don't know what draws people to Batman but numerous talented writers did their best with it through the years.
sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy, isn't it?
>batman has good comics
>good writers want to write batman
good writing (through the years cause not all comic writers are good writers ofc)
Because he evolved into the embodiment of chaos
dunno,all I know is that I loved how McGinnes roasted him the Batman Beyond movie
Cool take on the trickster archetype and a great foil to Batman
Penguin become an obselete stereotype and all the others are too stupid to become relevant.
RIDDLE ME THIS RIDDLE ME THAT.
When I was a kid it really pissed me off how Joker was Quackerjack, but Batman had no Negabat for Negaduck
