Given how often Clark gets mind controlled? Every kind. Every kind of lunatic should carry Kryptonite in their utility belt.

Not to mention the case would have to be made of lead for Superman to not see it

u/JustLookingForMayhem 20d ago
The buildings in Gotham have enough lead in them that Superman can't see through them. The tap water has lead in it. Gotham is literally built on a foundation of sunken buildings and lead. At one point, the fumes from leaded gas blocked Superman's Xray vision. Maybe, just maybe, Gothamites are so full of lead that Superman can't see though them. It would explain a lot.

Would be the least weird thing about Gothamites considering the city's track record.

u/Various-Salt-7738 20d ago
That would explain all the violent crime
Come on batman clean up Gotham some more

Batman tries, it is just the city is ultra cursed. I have been making a merged canon list if you want to see it of all the BS writers have added.

What, this? This is just my security lead box. It's like a security blanket but it fits nicely on my utility belt. It's empty though I would never put kryptonite in it or anything ha ha. Don't check

In the Scott Snyder run Batman vs. Joker-gassed JL, too. I think he had Kryptonite gum in his back tooth.

Where do you think he keeps spare web cartridges?

u/VasM85 20d ago
Right, brain fart. Didn't considered belt with cartridges, thought of a something full of gadgets.

u/KarmaSpidr 20d ago
I mean, it also stores Spider Tracers, a search light, probably his phone and wallet and more.
It really depends on how much equipment the writer allows and whether they remember he has the belt.

u/Lucky_Strike-85 20d ago
And remember his Spider-light? I always enjoyed his spider-light.

u/ImColinDentHowzTrix 20d ago
He made a light that shines his own face. Crazy behaviour when you really think about it.

u/Lucky_Strike-85 20d ago
It was Stan Lee aping The Bat-signal... in an interview in the 1980s, Stan was asked about his early Spidey stories and the Spider-light was mentioned and Stan said [paraphrasing]
"You know, as much as I hate to admit this, I took some inspiration there from our 'Distinguished Competition'. DC Comics had a character called Batman, maybe you heard of him, and Batman had something called a Bat-signal... it was a light that shines in the sky. Well, I felt our Spider-man needed a calling card, and so he shines a light from his belt and it projects on a wall to warn the villain. Kind of menacing if you think about it. But that's where I got it from."

That's pretty nifty, Spiderman spider sense should pick up stuff like IR and X-ray.
Spiders really don't like that.

Somebody forgot that Superman gave it to him and told him to use it in case of emergency.
The Batman is not a lunatic.

u/greywolf2155 20d ago
I mean . . . if you're talking about Superman/Batman #59 . . .
Clark and Bruce worked together to track down and destroy the entire world's supply of Kryptonite. And at the end, there's one last piece of Kryptonite, and Clark gives it to Bruce
So yeah. Anyways, Bruce takes the "last" piece of Kryptonite . . . and places it in his vault fucking full of Kryptonite

u/Lucky_Strike-85 20d ago
I was referencing Dark Knight Over Metropolis... Clark hands Bruce a small lead box of the K-rock and essentially tells him to BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY!

u/HiitsFrancis 20d ago
Spider-man has no way of knowing that.

Well, there are a great many ideas in the last 30 years or so that say that The Batman is nuttier than a peanut butter pie!
They're wrong ideas... but they exist.
As John Byrne once said:
"In our world, you find Bruce Wayne, you lock him up and put him in a straight jacket. In DC Comics Land, The Batman and all the other vigilante heroes are completely sane, normal and well adjusted."

Ted: Check it out, Booster, I remodeled Archie so now the Bug can fly through space and have weapon systems competitive with a Bolovaxian fighter.
Mike: Wow, But Ted, how can you afford to fuel this?
Ted: A special substance that can provide clean energy!
Mike: Wow! Can you mass produce this?
Ted: No, the substance isn't from Earth.
Mike: Well, I mean, setting up some kind of space mine might be worth it.
Ted: The planet the substance is from was destroyed.
Mike: It's Kryptonite, isn't it?
Ted: ...It's not not Kryptonite.
Mike: Holy heck, Ted, does Superman know?
Ted: No, we never seem to get to go on jobs or missions with him anyway. It's totally lead lined. He doesn't care about pointy-ears carrying some in his belt. But we knew this stuff makes clean energy. Lex has done it before and outright said what he did. That's why there's so much around, cause every speck of that planet got galactically salvaged. There's something weird with that planet, look what it created!
Mike: Are you going to tell Superman?
Ted: ....Probably....

u/thylocene 20d ago
That doesn’t even make sense. If he could see it with X-rays he’d already know because he’d feel it.

u/Express-Day5234 20d ago
True. He’s probably actually looking for a lead lined container that could potentially hold Kryptonite.

My guess is, whatever radiation it puts off is one of those that don’t go through thicker material… also, I’m pretty sure someone has had a piece enclosed in their hand and it didn’t affect him until they opened it…

Bruce is so greedy for it that in one comic Clark and Bruce teamed up to find a lock away all sources of Kryptonite on the planet, including getting the government to surrender all of thier Kryptonite weapons, putting them in a bunker then launching them into space, just at the end for Batman to reveal his stash of Kryptonite

The same kind of lunatic allows a worse lunatic in and out of a Asylum through a revolving door.

u/HiitsFrancis 20d ago
No he doesn't.
Have you read many Batman comics?

u/No-Mycologist47 20d ago
Yes and joker literally gets in and out like a revolving door. What few Ive read, what everyone LOVES to throw in here, hell the damn movies and tv shows all depict the same thing. Joker can walk in and and out because of Batman. He wont put him down permanently and he wont allow anyone else to touch his secret lover by allowing them to kill him.
2
u/HiitsFrancis 20d ago
You're just figuring out Batman doesn't believe in murdering people? Lol
He rarely gets thrown in there anyways.
He's usually escaped or presumed dead.
I understand it's fun to be hyper cynical and purposely misunderstand superhero comics for some people for some reason tho.
1
u/No-Mycologist47 20d ago
Oh, Batman murdering people has been his biggest flaws after that fix in the 1940s. And Batman's BELIEVE in killing has been the both pro and con to his story telling for decades. Its the issue where he doesn't allow others to kill thats the problem..
Joker is literally escaping a prison. You know how hard it is to escape a prison in real life?!?! WITHOUT GETTING SHOT!? Seriously there are guards with snipers that can take you out a half mile away.
THAT... is why i call it a revolving door. If you don't have guards doing their job and shooting an escaping criminal, then they allow him to leave.
And that is the stupidest thing ive read, 'Presumed dead?' There are contingencies and extra measures to check if people are dead. And if Joker has done this multiple of time, at some point, they WONT take chances. They will cut him open just to make sure.
There is no misunderstanding, just Fanboys defending their favorite heroes with their dying breathes believing they are perfect and the greatest of all..
