There’s a good reason why you shouldn’t give teenagers the keys to your fancy new car. There’s an ever better reason why you shouldn’t give teenagers who can run at super speed the keys to your fancy new car.

Any crash you can walk away from…

Coconuts, perhaps? 😉

Apparently, keeping track of money isn’t Batman’s strong suit. Or maybe Robin is just really good at cooking the books.

So Batarangs either cost a fortune or the Batman Family is extremely wasteful when it comes to using them.

Oh, Dick Grayson, would your fangirls still swoon over you if they knew what a condescending, sexist douchebag you used to be as a teenager…?

Yeesh, I wonder how he treated Wonder Girl back then…

If you think that Changeling‘s the only member of the Teen Titans capable of making inappropriate sexual comments to his opposite sex teammates, think again.

What kind of cable channels do they get at Titans Tower?

Here’s a fashion tip for all aspiring supervillainesses out there: never wear a costume whose upper half is the equivalent of a tube top with handles.

Holy Unexpected Nudity, Batman! :O

If you thought the green short shorts and pixie boots were bad, take a long, hard look at what Dick Grayson had to wear in order to quell Commissioner Gordon’s suspicions that his daughter, Barbara Gordon, might be Batgirl.

Think again, Girl Wonder. Think again.

Remember the time that Wonder Girl almost flew a plane into the World Trade Center? Because I sure do.

It's sad that Donna Troy 's history is so messed up that her being a brainwashed Al-Qaida sleeper agent isn't that hard to believe.

After being asked to return to Gotham City immediately due to the desecration of their loved ones’ graves, Red Robin stages a rooftop rescue of Batman and Robin in the most dramatic fashion possible in Blackest Night: Batman #2 (November 2009):

A jet plane? With flamethrowers? Awesome.
This is made all the more impressive when you take into consideration where exactly Red Robin was when he received the call at the end of Blackest Night: Batman #1 (October 2009):

I wonder how much cellular airtime costs for the Batman Family?
Since Gotham City, New Jersey is pretty close to New York, that means it’s approximately 5832 kilometers (3624 miles) away from Paris, France. Barring the use of a Justice League teleport device, the only way he could’ve cleared that kind of distance that quickly would’ve been with the help of a Batplane III, which has a top speed of 7081 kph (4400 mph). Even then, though, it would have to have been a modified version of the aircraft with increased fuel capacity since its maximum range doesn’t allow for a transatlantic flight without at least one refueling stop.
However he managed to do it, good show, former Boy Wonder.
