Wouldn't work. His parents need to be killed by criminals. Now he is just going to fight genies.

[–]Phreiie 72 points73 points ago

Not going to lie, I'd totally read that comic...

[–]vnkid 18 points19 points ago

You have to now. If DC releases an other-worlds of Batman fighting genies and you don't show you've read it i'm going to call you a liar and be disappointed.

[–]_timmie_ 38 points39 points ago

Well, technically the genie is now a murderer. Murderers are criminals, right?

[–]RalphiesBoogers 17 points18 points ago

You are technically correct, yadda yadda yadda....

[–]jonnyunited 19 points20 points ago

The best kind of correct

[–]norsurfit 6 points7 points ago

Hey, under the law, genies are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

[–]palida 7 points8 points ago

sounds like a frachise reboot!

[–]Need_Tree_Fiddy 7 points8 points ago

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 1 point2 points ago

It will become a dark version of Alladin that deals with wars upon genies who've resurrected out of their lamp prisons

[–]Toymachinary 0 points1 point ago

Yeah he's just gonna go smashing lamps and stuff.

[–]Flozzer905 26 points27 points ago

Yaaaaaay?

[–]IShouldWorkNow 26 points27 points ago

Is it me or is that joke getting really old?

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points ago

Yep, the joke is dead. You know what else is dead?

[–]BillieSC 24 points25 points ago

The fucking joke.

[–]infinull 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was supposed to be a killing joke.

[–]trampus1 0 points1 point ago

Yep. I think it was done best in Drawn Together.

[–]ReverendVoice 7 points8 points ago

Ugh - 'found on phun' in the upper left with a college humor tag clear and present in the bottom right.

Sometimes I hate people that don't know how to upload the original source... and I'm sure Caldwell Tanner (the original artist) would love the credit he deserves, too.

[–]BadW01fRose -4 points-3 points ago

ERMAGURD ITS YOU. Have an upvote.

[–]ReverendVoice 1 point2 points ago

Yep - its me - apparently not just the saver of webcomker rights you want.. but the one you get..

[–]AriBBCP -1 points0 points ago

please leave

[–]ReverendVoice 2 points3 points ago

A real life friend found me. Now I have to go back to Reddit username protection with my throwaway porn account.

[–]AriBBCP 0 points1 point ago

does your friend say "ermagurd" in real life?

[–]filthgrinder 39 points40 points ago

Question: Wouldn't "were" be the correct grammar here? "Was" would be past tense right? (trying to learn)

[–]HyperbolicFrolic 28 points29 points ago

Correct. Subjunctive mood. Just like "I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener."

[–]Orava 17 points18 points ago

Answer: Yes.

[–]irn0rchid 4 points5 points ago

Unless he's wishing that he was Batman in the past but had given up his crime fighting ways. Which is where I was expecting the comic to go. :(

[–]Interwhat 0 points1 point ago

Technically, yes. But the mistake is fair enough in the context of this comic since that is how a child would've worded it.

[–]RayginX 8 points9 points ago

Never wish from a genie. Get your your wishes granted from Shenron.

[–]megamanz7777 14 points15 points ago

Good thing he didn't wish he was Superman...

[–]futafan 5 points6 points ago

always ask for infinite wishes. always

[–]zed857 3 points4 points ago

And if the genie won't let you do that, ask for more genies.

[–]futafan 2 points3 points ago

"I want a genie that will give me infinite wishes" nice one.. will remember it

[–]VeritablyClean 2 points3 points ago

www.loldwell.com is the artists actual website

[–]abridgma 1 point2 points ago

Right - he works for CollegeHumor and that's where it was originally published though.

[–]LyricBomber 2 points3 points ago

Ok, I’m riding around in this car with this woman I’m close to a couple times a week. I’m noticing she's looking out the window and noticing other women. How this one looks, isn't her hair lovely? What a nice outfit. I said "Babe, what is the deal!? You’re noticing all these other chicks. Maybe... you’re a lesbian." She looks at me and she says "I wish I was a lesbian." Now, at that point, I wanted to say, "You mean you wish you WERE a lesbian" because grammatically... But I let it slide; I didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. But you know, that sentence, that retort "I wish I was a lesbian" kinda stuck in the old LaLo's mind. Kinda gestated there for 7, 8 minutes... and this tune popped out... Ooooooh,

I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero...

[–]Danzaemon 2 points3 points ago

A friend once gave me video files for a tv show called "Once Upon A Time" about fairy tale characters transported to the real world. In one of the episodes, a king found a magic lamp like this while walking along a beach. When the genie popped out of the lamp and offered him a wish, the king decided he didn't need anything, so his wish was to grant freedom to the genie.

Sounds like a nice way out of the usual genie's curse, right? Not so much -- the genie ends up falling for the king's wife and murdering him because of it.

If you ever find a magic lamp, get the genie back inside, then throw the goddamn thing into the nearest ocean abyss.

[–]bubbameister33 1 point2 points ago

But the genie got tricked into doing all that by the Queen (Regina) because he was in love with her.

[–]coyote1284 1 point2 points ago

Spoi... meh, as if anyone actually watched that shitty show.

(I keed!)

[–]meatpie_lover 4 points5 points ago

They're the parents Gotham deserves, but they aren't the parents it needs right now.

[–]tdn 3 points4 points ago

Link to original, I don't appreciate rehosting.

[–]kingwi11 2 points3 points ago

I'm slip on the rehosting debate. Yeah sometimes it may crash the openers website, but on the other hand it spreads awareness. Maybe op could source it in the comments.

Congratulations, better update your resume.

[–]mattbluesman 0 points1 point ago

More like wishmaster than a genie.

[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point ago

... I did not know that Batman's father was Ron Swanson. It explains so much!

[–]Geruvah 1 point2 points ago

Oh this old joke again. Now with a contrived story.

[–]JimmyM80 0 points1 point ago

This wasn’t at all predictable.

[–]Nuclear-pony 0 points1 point ago

And thats why , kids , you have to be careful for what you wish

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

That genie... looks like a familiar naked blue man...

[–]mmnsc18 1 point2 points ago

[–]theaaronsaurus 0 points1 point ago

I cannot believe I didn't see a dead parents joke coming. Shame on me.

[–]rikashiku 0 points1 point ago

[–]downvoteronpaul 0 points1 point ago

Reddit needs a function where I can downvote anyone who upvotes reposts.

[–]Uebermorgen 1 point2 points ago

[–]djskein 1 point2 points ago

Repost.

[–]Dynamiklol 2 points3 points ago

Welcome to reddit, where nothing is original and most of it is awful.

[–]TCSCrunch -3 points-2 points ago

If Abed (from community) was making the wish 1. I wish I was Batman 2. Cougar Town be on the air FOREVER 3. Make Troy and Abed In the Morning a real talk show

[–]YOLO_9GAG_4_LIFE -2 points-1 points ago

REDDIT ALREADY DID IT.

[–]Matsarj -2 points-1 points ago

This was on collegehumor a while ago.

[–]PercyChuggs 0 points1 point ago

Oh look, another "Batman's parents are dead!" joke. Totally original.

[–]RC_Matthias -2 points-1 points ago

Thanks for fucking the entire joke by putting that raging clue in the title, THANKS.
