Description

Image text: I'm really worried Christopher Nolan will kill a man dressed like a bat in his next movie. (The man will be dressed like a bat, I mean. Christopher Nolan won't be, probably.)

This comic is a reference to the comic book and movie character 'Batman', who actually rich businessman Bruce Wayne as we see on the left being referenced as "Master Wayne" by his butler Alfred. In the middle is the stick figure representation of Batman and on the right is the Joker as played by the late Heath Ledger.

If we translate the image text, Randall is afraid that Christopher Nolan (the director of the last two Batman movies) will kill Batman in the next movie.

Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in, where a man dressed up as a *bat* gets all of my press? This town needs an enema! -- The Joker (Jack Nicholson, "Batman", 1989) -- mwburden 70.91.188.49 17:46, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I recently saw the animated movie "Assault on Arkham"(sp?), in which someone refers to The Batman as 'a man dressed as a bat'. It made me think of this comic and I wonder if the creators had this in mind. 108.162.240.223 03:44, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
