Looks more to me like Kevin Smith making a joke for the reader :P
Don't read too much into that.
- The other guy said that, not Bats 
- Probably to rassure that other guy
- Bats probably made that up for this whole purpose

Kevin Smith was inserting a bit of his own life into the comic when he made Batman piss himself. 
What Kevin Smith does on a daily basis, he wants the characters he is writing to do the same. 
When we were "laughing", and I say this loosely, at Kevin Smith's movies, we were laughing at him and his life. 
 
This is why they call it Kevin Smith's Batman.

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

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*

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.

no...he'd never do that

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.

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

kevin smith is losing his touch :(

to semi-qoute barney:

NOT AWESOME

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

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

LMMFAO
 
That is all.

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

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.

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

bladder spasm...hmmm

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. "

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. 

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....

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.

This is wrong on so many levels

I think that you are reading too much into this.

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

Odin forbid we display any humanity in the Dark Knight for we all know he was clairvoyant tech ninja since he was eight.

"Odin forbid we display any humanity in the Dark Knight for we all know he was clairvoyant tech ninja since he was eight. "

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.

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.

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

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

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

The guy can't write

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

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

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

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

True.

also Smith can't write.

@eto: Smith is terrible I agree...

@darkhoudini: yep...

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.
