batman: ok so remember, the flying animal part isn’t the reason for my name. it’s that it’s scary, and intimidating. so, now, remembering it can be anything—not a flying animal—what do you want your superhero name to be?
robin: robin.
David Dastmalchian adopted a stray cat who approached him during the filming of The Suicide Squad in Panama, and costume designer Judiana Makovsky sewed a little Polka Dot Man outfit for the cat, named Bubblegum.
DC asked the #HarleyQuinn team to remove a scene from Season 3 in which Batman performs oral sex on Catwoman. Why? "Heroes don't do that"

My favorite thing about the 1960s Batman show is that sometimes the villains would have to go to court and The Riddler would show up in his Riddler shit saying "I don't know what you're talking about"
@GL2411@GailSimone@vanjensen I knew it! When that issue came out, I did all the research and couldn't find named him anywhere. We figured it had to be fan-created. I feel so vindicated now lol. Thanks for filling in that blank.
The most interesting thing about superhero comics in general is the vast collaborative network of a thousand storytellers exploring the same ideas through different voices... like modern secular mythology. It is so stifling to think purely in terms of “correct” and “not correct”
To me the most interesting thing about Batman is he’s had more stories by more different artists than possibly any other fictional character in history.. all sewing their piece into this giant fascinating tapestry, passed down through generations, constantly adapting and evolving
