Batman is probably not the most chill video game companion

For those of you who are lonely and looking for a cool person with whom to play video games, I do not recommend Batman, what with his shouty nature over things like, I don't know, triggers. (via Crave Online)

Why do so many of these “bat-parodies” entail beating the crap out of Robin? Funny for like 2 seconds and then just seem to to take it too far.

    I thought Robin was a dick?

The gentleman who plays Batman is apparently a professional Jack Sparrow impersonator.

  Yeah, I think there’s some Napoleon Dynamite in there too.

Ah, nothing like an elaborate project based purely on a pun.

Not funny. Make me feel like puking.

That guy needs to play some Bocchi ball instead.

Not that funny to me. Not because it shows Batman to be an abusive psychopath – he’s been one since almost forever now – but because the premise doesn’t work for me.

Also, Superman would whop his ass.
DIIIIIIVE!!

My parents are DEEAAAAAAD!
It’s good I thought. The Batvoice is perhaps even less annoying than Bales.

Wow, some jaded people on here, I loved this. Robin just wants to kick back but Batman can’t let go of his demons, as usual.

LoLs. My roomie and I almost 20 years ago used to take turns getting angry at the other over various Sega game victories/defeats.

Usually it was Mutant League Football. That game was fucking awesome.
