Five Images in Which Batman Features Prominently

As this internal office memo I’m holding suggests, today is Bat Day at NotGraphs. Already, Bradley Woodrum has introduced us to the big stick with which famous Negro Leaguer Josh Gibson walked softly, while Dayn Perry has stared at your daughter for 30 unflinching minutes skillfully embedded a video of Josh Womack performing all manner of bat-related tricks.

In an effort to distill Bat Day to its most whimsical, what I’ve endeavored to do here is collect five images from the internet of Batman the superhero engaged in bat-and-ball related activities.

If you, reader, could hold your LOLs till the end, it would be much appreciated.

1. This is Batman playing baseball with Robin and Superman:

2. This is that same image, photoshopped by Batman, after he broke up with Robin and Superman:

3. This is a product on which you can spend money — or, rather, could spend money in 1983:

4. Here Batman stares menacingly at an elderly alumnus of Wesleyan University:

5. According to the product description, this item is (a) sure to be a winner with any Batman fanatic, (b) sure to catch the eyes of your friends, and (c) a guaranteed collector’s item:
