In Which We Learn Why Batman Avoids the Concession Stand at Movie Theaters

Let's finish our week by taking a look at the exciting science of optometry, courtesy of Batman #42:




Wow!  How many years of schooling does it take before one is qualified to make such a difficult diagnosis?  Thank goodness Bruce Wayne can afford the best care, or he would never have guessed that.

Moving on to Batman #43.  I've noticed that almost every issue back in the day had at least one of the major villains, which is pretty cool!


Kids, don't ever let a fallen enemy do anything that begins with the phrase, "Do you mind if I...?"  That's just common sense.  But he wouldn't be Batman if he had any of that, so...



ARRRRRGH!  POPCORN IN MY FACE!  THEY WEIGH APPROXIMATELY ONE GRAM EACH!  I AM OVERWHELMED!

Popcorn from a pipe? That sounds like a direct steal from the Joker's arsenal of merry mischief. Not at all bird-themed or umbrella-themed.

However, the only bird-related thing that one might spew out of a pipe probably wouldn't have made it into a kid's comic...

Oops. He did say it was an umbrella-shaped pipe-- but I still say it feels like a Joker swipe.
