Saturday, June 6, 1998: Batman's drivers license

[NonsenseWords]

Why, the Bruce Wayne license would give away his secret identity!

As for Batman, what policeman would pull him over?

[nickspoon]

This is one of my absolute favourites.

(Also, a sentence doesn't need a noun.)

[Maggot Brain]

I've often wondered about this too. I mean, he'd have to be pretty crafty to get out of a ticket AND not reveal his identity.

9/10

I know exactly what he says when the police ask for license and registration.

[Doc Sigma]

And then he drives through the police car so fast that he CUTS IT IN HALF!

I was actually trying to find that particular panel. Couldn't scrounge it up, I'm afraid.

I thought this comic was kind of funny and made somewhat of a good point. I can almost imagine the interaction to be something like:

Cop: "License and registration please."
Batman: "Yes, sir. Hold on please." *Reaches for wallet and then pauses and points at the officer with a smile* "AAAAAHH. Nice tryyy!"
Cop: *points back and laughs* "AAaah! You almost fell for it!"
Batman: "You're not finding out my secret identity tonight! " *drives off*

That should be made into a video skit of some sort. I would laugh.

I laughed just reading it.

I have to say I really like this one as well. Shows wit and a heavy dose of ADHD.

You people still think Batman is Bruce Wayne? Seriously? When that playboy isn't busy hobnobing with supermodels in Monaco or Bermuda he's managing his business interests. Bruce Wayne was educated in some pampered upper class school for the wealthy, if the guy gave one bat dropping about victims of crime he'd use his money to clean up Gotham. The guy's too much of a partying, womanising loose cannon to have the sort of drive for dressing up in a garish outfit and punching criminals in the face night after night. Bruce Wayne?! Yeah right.

You know who I think Batman really is? That reporter at the Daily Planet, Clark Kent. Think about it. The guy has an imposing figure, you don't get that sitting in front of a computer writing articles. Working in a newspaper lets him get breaking news such as robberies he can foil almost immediately. Plus, Batman wears a mask. He's hiding his identity as Clark Kent who then gets the scoop on Batman's latest victory because IT WAS HIM ALL ALONG!

[Tom_Radigan]

I don't know how you managed to find this, but WOW!

Incidentally, the term "batman" also refers to a British Army officer's servant in India.

[Doc Sigma]

There is also a Batman Airport in Turkey.

Love this strip, one of my favorites.
