LOLOLOLOLOL!

look out! joker's gonna force you into a boner!!!! XD

You idiots, Bruce Wayne is the greatest man ever, he really deserves to be respected more than any of you perverts, my heart feels pain when I understand what is happening to our world, and it's not you who I am worrying about. It's children, because they'll have to grow up in the society that such people as you all are. And those damned "told ya he was gay" and "lmao joker's boner lmao" of you freaks make me so incredibly angry because all you are able to is to watch naked women in internet and laugh on "jokes" about gays ans listen to marlyn manson, you would never save a child who is beaten by thugs, would never save a woman who is being hunted by maniac in alley, but you are happy to laugh on "boner" and on a true hero who Batman probably is. You would never think about what would WWII Veterans say about what you are doing and what you are talking about, they would've never believed that they were fighting for such a lusty misery as you all are even if they could've seen the future. 
 
If only I could shake Mr. Wayne's hand... But it's your dirty hand that I will never shake. 

" "Stung By His Boner, Joker Lashes Back!" Now That CAN'T Be Real!!! "

 "Stung by his boner, Joker lashes back!"     

"Told ya he was gay, "

This article and comic are way too funny.   So funny that I had to sign up and say so.  I was compelled by this great boner!
 

@GothamRed

" regardless of what it means, using those lines out of context must be a great conversation starter.  "Say have you heard the story about Batman's greatest boner?" "

" That is seriously hilarious! :D "

Still think it should be called "Off My Mind: What's up with Joker's Boner"

LOL! Poor Joker, back then he didn't have Harley to help him out. No wonder he was going on and on (and on and on) about his boners.

This reminds me of the ballplayer Fred Merkle.
 
Yet, the last pic is awesome.

It is also worth mentioning, for clarification purposes, that the term "boner" was a shortened version of "bonehead" or, rather, in context, a "bonehead move". Hence, doing something in a boneheaded fashion resulted in its becoming a "boner". ...It is still pretty funny, though lol.

Hehe... boner.

I laughed myself almost off of my bed. Hilarious

Maybe the joker wants something different from batman then will all think ....... Boner .

anyone who laughs is a communist...*snicker* boner hahahahaha....ah dammit!

"  "I'm worried about the boner he's preparing for you."  Lmao. "

Batman will make boner of the year lol

OMG I Couldnt breathe for laughing :P

Haha.

lol its funny how meaning can change :)

This is like a Kevin Smith movie where prolific characters say the weirdest things, like something you least expect them to say. 

weird to think the definition of that word has changed so vastly

  "Batman's greatest boner!"  Must be why the women love Bruce so much.  =] 
 
  ...  Can't believe I just made that joke...

If only Harley Quinn was around in 1951 Joker could have that boner taken care of

Ah, Batman books were very odd in the 1950s... pretty much exclusively in that decade... nothing but (fun & silly, but stupid) nonsense. 

come one G-man, don't be so hard on the Joker...oops!

@CATMANEXE:
Correction: anyone who cracks up to that former phrase of mistake, and twists it to sound immaturely perverted, pervert the comic in itself, today; grow up. 

 
 Chances are, more the young people, is cracking up to it, assuming it means what it means today, rather than those who read it once, and knows what it meant better.    
 
To those who is young, knows what it meant then, but still cracking up to it anyways, because it sounds like what it is today close enough; grow up.  Seriously.

" LULZ XD "

So, the Joker is going up on the erect building, and then, after one of his men cuts the electricity at the base, Joker has to go down on the building through the stairs.Then he runs into Batman and Robin and has to slip out the rear end of the building and leave his sac behind. Wow, that's a boner. :p

"Two Words: GROW UP.  That joke, "context", ripping upon an outdated comic, is so old.  Back  when, "boner" meant goofup, a "g-word" meant "happy", an "j-a word" meant, well, "jerk", but was much less publically uptight than it is today ( I recall I once read Harry Osborn casually say it in "Amazing Spider-Man" or so around the late 60s, or was it the early 70s?)   going even further, "a-word" meant "donkey", still is 1/10,000th of the time, the other "f-word meant "cigarettes", and so on, so on.  Seriously, I don't crack up on Flinstones and their theme song " have a g- old time" because I understood, back then, the word, it was most public consciousness meant "happy" been that for decades.     Just, grow up people.  "

Just leave it up to the kids to make something out of nothing. I did get a chuckle though out of seeing this panel, but only because I knew the kids out there were posting this on their facebook walls. Yeah it's funny, but everyone should know the comics code authority would never have let them put anything remotely derogatory in the comic and then sell it to kids.
 
Ah how times have changed...

Dont be such a buzz kill dude. if your too much of an adult for this topic then dont read it. Don't try and ruin everyones fun "mother teresa". so quit being a jack off and jerking around all the people who see this topic as nice gay fun. Telling others how to live life is one of the worst boners you can pull. So calm down and go smoke a fag, or if you don't smoke then picture something soothing like riding an ass accross the grand canyon while getting blown by the wind.  P.S. ...all puns intended... =]  "

what a boner
            blunder

Well if we are talking about words you should not see in any comic today, who can remember this classic?
 

 It's likely that in fact the word was used with full awareness of all meanings. The writers of comics were and are adults, and working in comics -- which are some of the least highbrow literature in existence -- never, ever separates anyone from the most prurient of vernacular. Since comic stories had to (and have to) go through several people's approval before being printed, this was probably a jolly time for them to see if they could get away with saying 'boner' as many times as could be plausibly packed into a single comic.
 
Comic writers and artists have a long history of these little inside jokes and gestures. Perhaps the best-known is Power Girl's breasts, which were gradually but noticeably enlarged in every subsequent issue she appeared after the first, to see if they could get away with making her bust as vast as possible and to see if anyone would notice. 

Reminds me of this... My son has gotten into reading the Hardy Boys' mysteries.  There are a lot of phrases and terms used in those books that we need to explain to him.  Mostly because they are really dated.  Usually gives me a chuckle though.
