Friday Night Fights: Batman versus PETA

Once again, we're layin' the smack down for the heppest world-devourer in the universe: the mighty Bahlactus! Tonight: everyone's ultimate fighter, Batman! (Na na na na na na na na!)

That's it, Batman! You've got that ferocious jungle cat right where you want him! Now, simply administer a paralysing nerve jab to knock him safely out, or spray him in the muzzle with a sleeping gas capsule, or...

Whoa! Hardcore, Bruce!

So what kind of defenseless animal are you going to beat up on now, Batman? Gonna leap on a lemur? Wrestle a wombat? Assault an aardvark? Terrorize a Thompson's gazelle?

    Yes, Batman really DOES seem to get a charge out of beating up animals. You should see what he does to wolves!

    My guess is that he wanted to give Catwoman a nice leapard coat, but is too cheap to buy one. He probably took it home and made Alfred skin it too.

    I like how they put Batman's thought balloon that says "Got to keep the shape of the terrain in mind..." over the face of the bound woman, as opposed to her body. Priorities.
