    Off My Mind: Did Batman Really Wet His Pants?

    LMFAO...Batman has always peed his pants, it's just the material he used soaked up the mess, and masked the odor

    Poor attempt at humor... Was it supposed to make Wayne look vulnerable?

    Lol...wow. 
     
    Actually, my first thought was "I wonder if the Bat suit has some way of handling a 'bladder spasm'..."  I knew a guy who said he attached one of those hot water bottles to the inside of his leg and ran a plastic tube up to his...particulars...just so he wouldn't have to leave his seat  during a crowded event...  And he is a ditz...imagine what Bruce could have come up with...

    Honestly this doesn't change my view of Bats, it's just one of those WTH were they thinking moments. If they'd had him do something (no pun intended) bat s*** insane towards the beginning of his career, and then had him pee himself, that'd be one thing. but here you just gotta wonder what went through their heads.

    I don't think it takes away any of the character's appeal but was is it really necessary?

    I heard about this, actually. Frankly, near as I can tell, Smith hasn't been great on any Batman his written, and his Spider-Man Black Cat, and Daredevil runs were....well, not very interesting to me personally.

    Utter rubbish. Next we'll find out that the reason why Jason Todd is so pi$$ed off is due to Dick Grayson 'stink palming' him on their first meeting.

    I would have accepted him panicking or running away on his first "mission" as Batman, but wetting himself is just a little weird.

    Would NEVER happen.  What's with all these supposed good writers writing crap.  Now, Kevin Smith is doing it too.  I thought Grant Morrison was jumping the shark.  Now, it looks like we got a new winner.  Great.

    Batman did not start out as Batman so it makes sense that in the early years he would have pissed him self.... how ever i is not believable that he would tell some one.

    I love Kevin Smith but he does not know how to write BATMAN, sure he knows how to write other characters from Batman but just not BATMAN himself.

    There are other ways they could have showed that he was not an expert or confident at first, maybe show that one time early on he became so nervous or something that his heart was beating so loud in his chest, he was sweating so much, he could barely concentrait.  Maybe have him nearly pass out or something.  Pee his pants?  I don't know.  I am just saying there are other ways to accomplish the same goal in the story without having to go that rout.
    But I thought this WAS a Elseworlds story, doesn't Batman make out or is sort of dating Harley Quinn in this?
    I actually like the idea of showing that Bruce isn't always as confident and bad as he seems to be, just like how Spider-Man isn't always as confident and sure of himself while he is making all those jokes.  Its just his way of making others think he is in control. 
     (As a side note I guess, Would this be a big deal if Spider-Man had peed his pants?  Not just said it, because I could see him saying that three times an issue, but what if Spider-Man peed his pants?)
    Batman could be shown being vulnerable, with things like showing how nervous he can get in some situations or something.  It might actually help show more character to him.  But Peeing his Pants?  
    But it might have also been meant to be funny, showing Batman's vulnerable side and being funny.  Was it funny to anyone?

Its pathetic almost to see how lame his writing is considering i've liked his movies for the most part.  I think him and a few other should definetly stay clear of writing comics, because they don't understand how to write characters.

    I like Kevin Smith, he's a funny guy but that's just wrong.  Its like he just doesn't care what all the hardcore bat-fans will think. He was given a privilege to write Batman and imo he was irresponsible, disrespectful of 70 years of lore and possibly even a lil egotistical to think he has the right.  He should stick to Jay and Bob, its his best work and what made him famous.

    I believe it is good to show heroes who aren't perfect, but Batman peeing his pants. Unacceptable, unless you are writing a parody of some sort.

    Bladder Spasm are contractions of the bladder which generate an urge to urinate, sometimes occur by extreme pain. Incontinence may occur if the bladder spasm continues, as the bladder will force urine out. Any resulting stream of urine may be impossible to stop, as the patient does not have control over his or her bladder. 


     
    A bladder spasm =/= automaticly mean he peed his self.

    I think this article misses the point.

     

    Batman wetting himself?  That's just typical Kevin Smith "humor."  Why not talk about the extremely crappy back and forth with Silver St. Cloud?  "DeeDee"???  Mr. Smith is stuck in perpetual adolescence.

    Oh man... I can't believe people are getting so worked up about this. Batman is just a guy. And a fictional one at that.  Based on what Smith has said about that scene, it seems like Batman was just trying to boost that other guy by giving him a certain impression. 
    So either way, it really isn't a big deal.
