How was Batman supposed to make criminals fear him when he wore his underwear on the outside?

He should be a Hanes model

I'm sure they're not focused on his costume when he's busting their skulls.

Wouldn't you be afraid of a caped man in his underwear hanging around on city rooftops at night?

@gunmetalgrey: lol good point

A man who wears his underwear on the outside IS scarier than one who doesn't. Tell me would you approach anyone in real life who wears his underwear on the outside?

If a man came after me in underwear and a cape and beat me unconscious,Yes id be very afraid.

Lol. Who wouldn't be afraid of a guy wearing his underwear outside his pants.

The underwear on the outside strikes fear into the heart of a criminal.

That's how you know he's completely insane and won't hesitate to break you.

By making a really deep grumbly voice and telling people not to laugh at him.

I always found it funny other JL members wore the trunks on the outside, but only Superman got flack for it.

Better question, how are theyy supposed to fear him now that he does not wear it outside?

I think a skilled guy , with insane physical prowess dressed as a bat would be respectable (because of the skills) but cheesy(batsuit).

But all of that + underwear on the outside...dude i would shit my pants that dude is crazy and i dont want to see him again.

off the top ropes WWE style

His cowl I suppose. Its scary.

@rookynubee: WTF

Cold blooded criminals ain't calling him the "Freakin" Bats for nothing (hint: its the exposed underpants).

Plot

@nemesisreloaded:

Just a fantasy comic for kids and nothing more...You cant compare it with real life...

It's to hide boner, nothing to do with criminals

Plot.

who wouldn't be afraid of a guy jumping from rooftop to rooftop with their underwear on the outside

He usually works in the dark while wearing a long, black cape; half the time you won't even be able to see the outside undies.

Hey, the ‘40’s was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away..different sh!t was intimidating back then I guess lol

Anyone who will wear their underwear like that is willing to do some sh*t

They never get a good look. He either has his cape over his shoulders or he's engaging them in combat and with the way he scares criminals they usually panic

If you just got body slammed through a floor board by a grown man dressed like a toddler on Halloween I think you'd scared for life
