This. >batwank exists so he doesn't seem irrelevant when teamed up with the likes of Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, etc. >jokerwank exists because batwank has legitimized Batman as a peer to the likes of Superman, so Joker now has to justify his threat level to Batman by making him a threat to Superman and his associates
The worst part of Batwank is that you could actually accept that Batman is the least powerful of the justice league and he can still be useful enough to justify his existence by having him be the guy who figures out the bad guy's plan, co-ordinates the team, maybe hacks into a supercomputer or designs a gadget that the team needs, all things that it makes sense for him to do without making him superman with meta powers.

But that would mean he's not hitting somebody, making him look unimportant.
Because it's a hard sell showing how Batman can kung fu a dozen super strong and super tough parademons to submission when it's shown that they can very easily tear a human limb from limb and take punches from super strong characters, especially when he doesn't have the benefit of comics conveniently stretching the capabilities of humans way, way beyond the limits of real life.
I'm fine with Batwank but Jokerwank needs to have him get soundly beaten in the end. Hate it when a villain causes shit and gets off with a slap on the wrist.
The Wank is why I read comics. You'd have to be insane or hate yourself to read them and dislike the single driving force behind the entire medium: cool scenes of impossible action
Can I just say that Darkseid's ziggy zaggy lasers are absolutely ridiculous looking? I get that they bend and chase their target but do they need to do loop de loops to hit a stationary target right in front of him?
Batwank makes Jokerwank worse imo. Batman can outsmart Darkseid and go toe to toe with legion of doom members but gets fuckin tricked by a clown because Joker HAS to be Batmans #1 villain.

One wouldn't exist without the other.

That's basically what he did in Justice League. That movie really demonstrated how useless Batman is in a fight.

yes
I thought Batman was against using guns.
Also, both are two sides of the same retarded coin.
he has that arrowgun that shoots him across the skies. batman is a gun fanatic he just doesnt want to kill people.
flashwank happens more these days from what i've noticed, but tbf speedsters actually have the feats to back it up most of the time
they have the feats because of the wank
Flashwank is mostly stuck to the comics, you can't escape Batwank.

At least batwank is believable for a man of his talents, resources, and connections

Yes, because as the action shows, his eye were aimed at the floor when he fired them
there's Jokerwank? please enlighten me
He's often treated as the scariest villain on Earth and every other super villain is scared of him, despite being just a guy without super powers
Batwank makes Jokerwank worse imo. Batman can outsmart Darkseid and go toe to toe with legion of doom members but gets fuckin tricked by a clown because Joker HAS to be Batmans #1 villain.
Honestly. Batman is invincible everywhere but his own books.
