batman-and-robin

A two-panel SMBC comic parodying Batman and Robin. In panel one, a caped Batman figure seen from behind tells Robin, "Robin, I'm too old for this. It's time to retire." In panel two, Robin enthusiastically replies as if he were Batman himself: "Like heck it is, Batman! You've got Gotham's only mob! You've got to get back out there, no matter how cunning the Joker is, or how powerful Penguin becomes. Danger is where you thrive!" Batman responds, "By gosh, Boy Wonder, you're right!" A caption underneath reads: "It was a mistake for Bruce Wayne to give Robin a share of his will." The joke: Robin keeps an aging Batman dangerously working because Robin financially benefits from Batman's death. The votey shows Batman, now mummified and wrapped in bandages from age and injury, saying, "It's the Bat-signal! You take the Bat-rocket, and I'll use Uber."
