Off My Mind: Did Batman Really Wet His Pants?

@dragonrampage: Miller WAS good IMHO, but now he should just stop writing comics.

Year one was the only good book that was written by frank miller, all other I read were awful. That one scene was so well done, it was original and then this other dude ruined the powerful moment with batman saying " oh, yea I had a bladed spasm"?!?!

@scott_summers52: @scott_summers52: agreed

All these Batman fans who can't take a joke or accept that Batman isn't perfect... Haha.

But yeah, Kevin Smith hasn't written any remarkable comics.

@darkhoudini: yep...

@eto: Smith is terrible I agree...

True.

also Smith can't write.

It's from a non canon story, so no.

@kmb501: I don't know man. I refuse to reckon this.

Batman wetting his pants = funny and understandable. I mean the guy fights the equivalent of Hell's demons in human form on a daily basis. That makes him seem oh so human and relatable.

Joker strip teasing = pathetic; it was OOC for the clown, certainly, and it was also just plain old inappropriate. It would have been okay if he would have just turned around, dropped his pants, and finished at that, but all of the innuendos, oh no! Joker is supposed to be a highly refined character, for the most part.

I can't believe people are still getting triggered over this

My god... a god cannot pee himself it is impossible.

The guy can't write

Kevin Smith most likely got this from Q from Impractical Jokers (or TESD if you're an ant). After hearing Kevin Smith, he just likes to put inside jokes that only him and his friends would get. It's an annoying trait, which bothers me even more when he talks so passionately as if he didn't do something stupid that alienates the viewer just to get a dumb joke across. At best do it as a background thing. Anyway, back to the main point, Q was a firefighter and he said it's a common thing that happens to firefighters, so it's not like it's not backed in logic, it's just a long way to go for a tid bit that just makes him look silly... jesus I'm defending Batman, ugh Kill me

This is a really old thread, but anything written by Kevin Smith should not be touched with a ten foot pole.

@misterdk: I really want to kill myself after seeing this panel.

Hmm..I don't really see what the big deal is. Wouldn't you be wetting your pants if you were being chased by criminals and thugs,avoiding gun fires,diving out of exploding buildings...etc for the first time.

The reality of the situation is, his current suit allows for it. I wouldn't say that his pants were wet. Furthermore, a bladder spasm can still be produced even without a full bladder. If it was empty, nothing happened. 
 
Do you truly believe that with all the exercise he gets fighting criminals, the water he takes in wouldn't leave his body beforehand? I'm no expert in bio-chem, however, I believe that he empties his bladder before he goes out to fight crime, and there wouldn't be anything in it in the first place.

it actually does change the way you think of batman but i like it since u see another side as into him trying to open up n not so bad assed

I think that you are reading too much into this.

This is wrong on so many levels

"

batman does not comfort people, the moment they turn their backs on him, bats disappears and leaves them talking to themselves. the bats does not even shares details of his personal life no matter what!

but yeah, he pisses himself. rite.

and supes sh@t himself while being a badass to lois. 

"

I really don't understand why people are making such a fuss about it. The argument is just really silly and if you're expecting more from Kevin Smith, you're in for a big surprise.
 
In my opinion, Gyre has been a great run so far. 

So, well, who cares about a Book that will not be remembered in 5 years from now. If the Name "Kevin Smith" sell, it´s clear that DC got his Batman running. I don´t see him as the good director or writer that he is hyped for....

Kevin Smith's a fat-a$$ idiot. I dropped this crappy series after the first issue. Smith seems intent on making Batman look bad, and what kind of a writer makes a characted look lame on purpose? ESPECIALLY Batman?!?! 
 
That's like revealing that Wolverine kissed a guy once when he was "experimenting in college" just to make him seem "more relatable" or whatever. 
 
I hate it when writers try to seem original and genius by sh!tting on a character *cough*Morrison*cough*Miller*cough*    
 
It takes real talent to write interesting stories about a character without resorting to these cheap attention-getting stunts.

" i can accept it because it makes him seem more human. "

bladder spasm...hmmm

LMAO! Bat-pee-wee-in-the-pants!!!

I'm sorry but i cant believe comic vine wasted their time writing on this.........i know super heroes are larger than life and all but to a certain degree there has to be some realism here and pissing ones pants out of fear is very real. Ever wander why soldiers tuck their pants legs in their boots or use staps to keep the rolled up? its not for style or uniformity nope militarties world wide do it because soldiers shit and piss themselves during combat all the time. kudos to kevin smith for doing research.

" kevin smith is losing his touch :(

to semi-qoute barney:

NOT AWESOME

"

Wow, 16 pages, LOL 
 
What I find funny is that this all would have been completely ignored by most people, if G-Man hadn't made a news page about it... xD

LMMFAO
 
That is all.

This is what happens when you have too many Batman books, somebody does something stupid like this. That was worst than what happened in every Rise of Arsenal book

this is almost as painful to witness as the last Indiana Jones film

kevin smith is losing his touch :(

to semi-qoute barney:

NOT AWESOME

o.o
I guess we need to pick batty up some depends.

Didn't read widening gyre, dropped it after the first issue.  Reason being Morrison's Batman was kicking into high gear, and I felt it would just be throw away.  Annnnnnd the last time I read or tried to read a Kevin Smith Mini series, it took like 3 years to finish (that spiderman black cat one).   
 
I would like to see him do an arc or write a regular book again.  Since I don't know what he's doing with himself at this point.

no...he'd never do that

Well, if he pissed himself back then we all know for damn sure that he ain't pissin himself now. He is the God of Badass today.

kevin smith is an overated hack!  taking a serious book and icon like batman and apply his "jay and silent bob" brand of humor is in poor taste and frankly quite asinine! *sigggggghhhhh*

i can accept it because it makes him seem more human.
