What's the consensus on Batzarro?

[Lord_Archive]

Good, Bad or Useless?

Personally, I like the oddball characters and if he hadn't been on the cover of Superman/Batman #22 I wouldn't have picked it up.

One question about the character though. I get that he has no eyes, because he's blind as a bat. I get that he has claws and fangs. But, what's the deal with the gold chains he hauls around with him?

To make lots of noise and be visible, since Batman is stealthy?

I thought it was a really fun idea. Unfortunately, I didn't read the story he was in because I had dropped Superman/Batman so I have no idea how well that idea was executed.

[Forsaken_One]

Batzarro is safely in the Loebverse for me. So I blissfully ignore it.

[Harry]

I like anything Bizarro related, Batzarro included. I was actually thinking about getting a tattoo of his upside down bat symbol.

I'm in the same boat. I bought a few issues of the Supergirl arc but that turned me off of the whole series.

[Max_Dillon]

All I know is that I'd like to purchase some of the pot Loeb was smoking when he came up with this one.

Me hate Batzarro. Batzarro is teh suck. Batzarro make me cry silently. Me hope Batzarro never appear in another comic again. :D

You know you just said you liked him right, :p .

Personally:

Me love Batzarro. Me want him friend. Me hope Bizarro and Batzarro make cake. Me thinks they are teh awesum.

That means I hate his a$$, whcih sums it up quite well. :D

[dazzler_slave]

I have always hated Bizarro more than any other Superman villain
I hated Bizarro Supergirl more than any other Supergirl villain
I hate Batzarro more than...well, you get the point.

[1HELLBOY]

I love him.

And I like how he thinks something, and then automatically says the exact same thing.

Good stuff.

[Gaz]

Obviously. Because Batman NEVER says what he's thinking. :D

[Alan2099]

I think he's a plain old fun character. The batman comics could use more fun characters.

Me not agree with this!

Me love Jeph Loeb! Me am coming back now!

Hello!


(Hee hee, always wanted to do that)

[Choppa]

Wouldn't Batzarro spend most of his time as Brucezarro, since the opposite of the current Batman would be someone who doesn't wear the suit 24/7?

Yeah. And he'd be nice to everyone and always brooding that his sidekick is alive... or would he celebrate that his sidekick is dead...

[Tequilamokinbrd]

See, that's the thing I've never liked about Bizarro, people always talk about him like he's the opposite of Superman when he's in fact an imperfect doppelganger along the lines of the one of Spider-Man with the six arms that Carnage had as a pet for awhile.



If anything, the closest thing to a reverse Superman would be if Batman was evil.





Superman
-Born with super powers
-Not normal human man
-Fights for good
-Body is his greatest weapon
-Raised by loving parents


Evil Batman
-Born a normal man
-Was born on earth as a human man
-Fights for evil
-Mind is his greatest weapon
-Parents were murdered when he was young

[Guts/Batman]

Post-Crisis Superman wasn't born with Superpowers IIRC.

Also, Evil Batman sounds like...Deathstroke minus the enhanced abilities.

[Lord_Archive]

Wouldn't the opposite of "being raised by loving parents" be "being raised by abusive parents?"

[Jack Tango]

Wouldn't the opposite of "being raised by loving parents" be "being raised by abusive parents?"

Well, if we want to get hyper-specific, the opposite of "being rased by loving parents" would be "left to fend for self by abusive zombie-foster-parents."

Conversation between Jerry and Elaine about the Bizarro World:

JERRY
So he's Bizarro Jerry!

ELAINE
[pause] Bizarro Jerry?

JERRY
Yeah. Like Bizarro Superman. Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards bizarro world. Up is Down. Down is Up. He says "Hello" when he leaves, "Good bye" when he arrives.

ELAINE
[pause] Shouldn't he say "Bad bye"? Isn't that the, opposite of "Good bye"?

JERRY
No. It's still a good-bye.

ELAINE
Uh. Does he live underwater?

JERRY
No.

ELAINE
Is he black..

[MythicBrawn]

Batzarro is dumber than Bizarro. Reading their dialogue gets on my nerves. I know Bizarro has been around since forever but when pre-Crisis eliminated him, he should have stayed gone. Adding Batzarro to the mix is just inane.
