Batman is an idiot. Throughout the long history of the Dark Knight of Gotham City, we have often seen jokes and burns being attributed to him. The recent trend of rebirths and revival of stories has seen Batman’s dogged approach towards his mission getting underplayed. Over the years he has collected an impressive range of enemies, bad guys and relationships that have become strained. This even causes him to occasionally be in a confrontation with his most dedicated allies who are often called as The Bat-Family by fans and comic book creators.
Batman is a senior fatherly character, and his butler is an aristocratic person. This is the kind of combination that is prone to egos and self-made rules which can often cause friction in their dealings with other superpower colleagues. This is why at times, Bat Family finds itself crossing swords. While wit, acerbic tongue, condescending tone, and superpowers go a great way in giving you a good position against your enemies, it can also make your defense better against each other. The Gotham City vigilantes are right at the top of their game, and that is why there have been some amazing comeback and burn panels in comic book legends. Let’s have a look at some of the most iconic Bat-Family burns, one-liners and witty comebacks that have become fan favorites.
