Let’s imagine for a moment that we don't know what Batman looks like. Would you imagine him as a human-sized bat with a human body and leathery wings or a bat-sized human with a furry midsection who’s basically blind and screeches if you touch him? Or maybe some other version of a bat and a human merger?
Anyway, we think it would’ve been way more awesome if he had at least one quality of a bat instead of being just the coolest crime-fighting vigilante to be born in a comic book ever. Now, we only have a myriad of Batman jokes to explore the possibilities and poke some innocent fun at everyone’s beloved hero.

Okay, so if you got lost in the last paragraph (we did try to divert your attention to Batman’s looks instead of cool jokes), this article is dedicated to jokes about Batman, Batman puns, and nothing else. And boy, are they good!
The dude’s been with us since 1939 (almost a centenarian now!). Over the years, he has accumulated a significant amount of lore—from funny jokes to fan fiction to hundreds of comics and a notable number of movies. But that’s all well and fine with us—the more, the merrier, and the more ideas for funny Batman memes. Oh, and let’s not forget to mention the section on Joker jokes—there’s no Batman without him, really, is there?
