Wonder Woman, Lois Lane. Jimmy Olsen. As we’ve seen, Superman has a pretty diverse circle of friends. One is an Amazonian princess who rides a skateboard. Another is a woman who locks her head in a safe, and the third is some sort of hybrid monkey boy.
Next up is the world-famous crime-fighter, Batman. Oh, in this era he wasn’t exactly the Dark Knight we all know now. Back in the 1940’s and 50’s Batman tended to be a bit, um goofy. And possibly a repressed homosexual. In the panels reprinted below, the Joker, upset that Gotham City laughed at his boner, decides to get Batman to pull his own boner and thus, well, maybe you should just read for yourself.
This story exists on the net mostly as single panels. A few are missing, mostly ones that don’t use the word “boner.” I’ve put them together as best I can. So here we go, back to the glory days of comic books, where every kid dreamed of reading about a big boner.
And there you go. The Joker pulled his boner, Batman pulled his boner, I bet even Robin went off and pulled his boner somewhere off panel, probably while looking at that volume of “Great Boners of All Time” Bruce Wayne keeps in his library. God only knows what Aunt Harriet thought when she saw that one!
But the fun isn’t over yet. Here is an absolutely real Batman water gun. Note the plug and the trigger.
Here is something else I found on the net. I’d give credit where credit is due but I have no idea who made this. Good thing that Batman didn’t have this problem in that Joker caper!
And lastly, not Bat-related but still funny, from the good people at Wrestlecrap:

I would simply quote Lord Flashheart from Blackadder: “I have a plan. And it’s a hot as my pants!”

Come to think of it, almost any Flashheart quote would do.

The 1940s comics were actually darker than the 1950s comics.
“And possibly a repressed homosexual”
That joke has long stopped being funny.

Come the 1950’s, Batman was headed into space and fighting really silly monsters.
