Bruce Wayne aka Batman is one of the most popular fictional characters in existence as well as one of the most famous superheroes of all time. The character’s existence has expanded beyond the comic pages for years now in various TV shows, movies, video games, and more. Several actors have given life to the iconic Dark Knight both through live-action work and voicing the character. Batman has and will always be one of the biggest characters no matter what medium he is in. With the massive mythology behind him, from his Bat-family to his rogue’s gallery, the Bat-presence will never be missed.
With such a large history behind him, there is a massive fandom from all over the world that celebrates the character. That includes fan-art, fan-fic ,and memes about the iconic DC hero. While Bruce is one of the more serious characters, there are certain things you can make fun of about him. With that said, these are the 10 most hilarious Bruce Wayne memes of all time.
Genius Or Clueless
Bruce would be lost without certain people in his life and one of them is Commissioner Gordon. In Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, Gary Oldman took on the iconic role of one of Bruce’s closest allies. But one trope that continued all the way into the third film was how he never figured out that Batman was actually this famous playboy billionaire. It wasn’t until Bruce (Christian Bale) told the commissioner in his own way that he was Gotham’s great protector. We imagine that Gordon must have felt pretty stupid at that moment.
Disrespecting Legacy
While not much is really known about the great Wayne legacy, everyone knows about the significant meaning of the Wayne mansion. Whether it’s from the cartoons or the vast line of movies, that mansion has great meaning in that family.
We can only imagine the major frustration that Thomas and Martha Wayne must have felt in the afterlife of seeing their son so greatly disrespect that legacy when he got their family home brutally destroyed.
Self-Burn
Bruce Wayne isn’t exactly known for burning himself even though he certainly has a punchline or two about others around him. What we can imagine, however, is that he brings up very often that his parents are dead. Even if his story is known throughout the world, Bruce would probably have no problem reminding everyone that he tragically lost his parents when he was growing up. So much so that he could probably, like this meme, turn it into a self-burn to some degree.
Bruce Proving Everyone Wrong
While Clark Kent’s idea of a secret identity can be questioned, Bruce definitely has the better method: wearing a full mask when operating as Batman. However, there have probably been times where some very clever people have been able to get close to finding out his secret identity.
Instead of trying to stop those villains, Bruce should have just hired someone to suit up as Batman and show up at the same time as him to prove everyone wrong. As rich as he is, that shouldn’t be a problem.
Bruce Vs Therapy
It’s no secret that Bruce may be one of the most psychologically damaged people in the entire DC Universe. We don’t mind him being a superhero and trying to protect the innocent. But at the end of the day, he is running around dressed up like a bat that has a major dose of anger management issues. It’s cool and scary as well as somewhat disturbing and problematic. This meme perfectly captures the idea of how Bruce looks at therapy and wearing that bat-costume. Why choose good mental health when you can run around in a kick-butting costume that makes you look like a bat?
Bruce Stating The Obvious
One of the kind-of hilarious aspects of Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne in Justice League was his need to state the obvious. However, if the movie had taken it too far, this meme would have 100% happened where every superhero he encounters, gets reminded of what they already know.
At this point, imagine Bruce going up to someone like Darkseid and going “So you’re big and ugly”? Probably wouldn’t end too well for him.
Bat-Brag
If you are skilled as a fighter and have a dope bat-costume, who wouldn’t want to run around and stating to people that you’re Batman? Maybe a bit obvious, given how the costume looks, but it is still a line that many people out there wish they could say to their enemies. However, maybe all they really need to say is that they’re rich like the scene in Justice League? That alone should explain everything.
Bat-Error
Does Bruce actually eat? With all the food that Alfred provides for him, it’s rare to see the Caped Crusader actually sitting down and just enjoying himself a good meal. That’s why it wouldn’t surprise us at all if Bruce ever ordered a pizza by himself and accidentally did it as Batman. It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone if Bruce actually at points forgot that he is Bruce Wayne when spending so much time being Batman.
The Walking Waynes
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was another version where fans had to re-live the brutal murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. If you aren’t a fan of The Walking Dead, then it probably went over your head that for a few minutes on-screen, Bruce’s parents were played by Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan.)
Crisis On Infinite Bruce Waynes
So many actors have played Bruce, both as the teenage and adult version of the character. However, imagine if Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) screwed up the timeline once again and managed to get Bruces’ of various timelines and realities to come together? The conversations that could happen and the outcome that we could imagine are endless. Imagine the adult versions of Bruce telling their younger selves how complicated their lives get when they get into adulthood.
