8 Things About Batman That DC Wants You To Forget

3) He Peed Himself In The Batsuit

Kevin Smith is one of the biggest Batman and comic book fans on the planet. Heck, he even hosts a terrific geek podcast called Fatman on Batman. While his foray into directing the Arrowverse has proved rather successful, the same can’t be said about his time writing the Dark Knight for DC Comics.

Unfortunately, Smith’s sense of sophomoric humor is an acquired taste and his Caped Crusader run is often cited as one of the worst around. In Batman: The Widening Gyre #6, Smith took it one step too far and had Batman pee himself while in his Batsuit and then casually refer to it as a “bladder spasm.” Yeah, that happened…

While we’re sure that everyone has wondered at some point what the Dark Knight does when he needs the bathroom while on patrol, we didn’t exactly need Smith’s explanation. Funny enough, this is actually one of the milder jokes in Smith’s run, as he also insinuated that Victor Zsasz mutilates his own genitals and that the Joker would give up his body to be released from prison.

After reading this, do you still want Smith to direct a Batman movie now?
