Friday Night Fights--Dunce Cap Style!!

Sometimes, Batman can be a bit cruel, as we discover in this week's Friday Night Fights.

The Caped Crusader is chasing down the Mad Hatter...

OK, that's badass...

K-BOK!!!!

OK, Bats, you've beaten up the mentally-ill criminal, now let's haul him off to--

Oh, Batman, you dick.

Spacebooger thinks Batman should next shape the hat into a broach, or a pterodactyl!

Humiliation heaped on top of pain is from Batman #297 (1978) by David V. Reed (a.k.a. David Vern), Rich Buckler and Vince Colletta.

Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why?!? You don't want to see what kind of cruel taunts Bruce woulds inflict on you while you're unconscious, do you? So go vote!!

That Time Batman Fought The Village People?!?

OK, OK, it was really a lot of Mad Hatters, and this is just a symbolic cover--he didn't face them all at once.

Still...Batman vs. an evil Village People? Someone get me DC on the phone!

Batman #297 is from 1978

Batman's First Meeting With Judge Dredd

Just discovered--the long-forgotten first ever meeting between Batman and Judge Dredd, from Batman #297 (1978):

Oh, damn, it's just the Mad Hatter, stealing Dredd's catch phrase.

Never mind.
