Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

I see you're just going to deliberately leave out the context.

That wasn't a homeless person, it was a patient at the asylum. Hugo Strange had injected him and 4 others with grown hormone that turned them into mindless, rage filled monsters, and there was no cure. It's needlessly violent and careless but that is in no way "Batman lynching a homeless man"

I don't know what it is with people on Lemmy trying to dishonesty reframe the legacy of that character just because he's wealthy. It's so petty and pointless.

1: Guess where 40's asylums got a lot of their patients. Guess what happened to most of them if they did get released.

2: There was a cure, Batman himself made it in the comic.

3: Do you think being a victim of a medical experiment makes it better?

Nice "real context," simp.
