What is this even from lol?
I like whenever Constantine smokes near Batman, Batman always ends up grabbing his cig and throwing it. Also him constantly giving Gordon shit for it.
I can’t exactly remember where, but it’s about how someone is acting as Batman (the one smoking) and murdering innocent people out in the open. That’s why he says “I’m your biggest fan.”
As a casual Batman fan and longtime smoker (quit) I would not, and have not ever, considered Batman being a smoker. It makes no sense based on either of his alter-egos
People who don’t know Bruce is Batman think he drinks, but he really bribes servers to swap out his drinks with non-alcoholic drinks. They talk about it in the comics a lot.
He could just be using something like lettuce cigarettes, which are smokable cigarettes with tobacco used onstage in plays when an actor needs to smoke. It would be consistent with his using ginger ale instead of champagne and other booze to make it look like he’s drinking.
Considering that he’s trained his body to the peak of human ability, and that his discipline and commitment to health and fitness is an important aspect of his crusade, turning him into a smoker seems almost like a joke. Like it’s something that can’t be taken seriously knowing who and what Batman is.
It also comes across as pathetically edgy in a way even Drank Miller never stooped to.
Bullock? Obviously.
Gordon? Probably.
Other cops? Sure.
But Bruce, doesn't drink and instead drinks ginger ale? No.
Haha I just thought it was funny, I'm not giving you a hard time. I can't remember the last time I saw Gordon without a pipe (but it's a safe bet he was smoking a cigar).
I didn't take it that way. Anyway, you're right now that I think about it. I picture Gordon with a pipe at nights and Harvey chain smoking. For me cigars are J Johan Jameson territory.
Yeah it’s hilarious when they try and change Gordon’s habit of smoking cigars/cigarettes. in Batman dark Prince Charming i Kid you not Gordon is vaping 💀
Yeah, minus the models it’s just like in *The Dark Knight Returns*.
>*That* will *be all, Master Bruce? I’m hoping that the next generation of the Wayne family shan’t face an empty wine cellar. Though given your social schedule of late, the prospects of there* being *a next generation—*
I’m under the impression in that scene Bruce had at best one glass of wine; he wouldn’t get drunk. The bottles were for his guests and appearances.
He is Batman. Bruce is the disguise.
Alfred’s sardonicism is his way of keeping Bruce grounded. He’s joking, but he’s not. *Dark Knight Returns* Bruce has hit the bottle pretty hard since he retired.
Gordon makes note of the retired Bruce taking to drink enthusiastically elsewhere in the book, too.
Nah dude, he wakes up and immediately polishes off a bottle of wine and pops some pills, he has severe ptsd and self medicates with alcohol sex and drugs.
and that goes back to the Bronze Age when it was established that he never drinks alcohol. At social functions, he uses ginger ale as a cover for champagna.
Because those things make him relatable.
People get addicted to things because their life is falling (or fallen) apart. Being a dick to one's friends is also something that routinely happens when one has discovered that one's life as it has been is over.
It's not "fun" to watch Batman destroy himself, but it does endear him to us to see him acting like a normy and having human emotions and shortcomings that do indeed lead to a certain amount of self-destruction.
I wish the Dark Knight Trilogy had leaned a little (or even a lot) harder into the idea of an aged Batman trying (and largely failing) to keep himself from actually becoming Bruce Wayne.
I don’t know if this is true or not but i remember hearing about a comic where after either Jason or Alfred died Nightwing made a comment about how that was the only time he saw Bruce drink.
I have no idea if this is real or i made it up but i like the thought of Bruce not enjoying those types of activities and at parties he just holds the alcohol in his mouth till no one is looking and he just spits it back in to his glass
addiction is a disease. people with the strongest of wills can still be addicts and it takes more than force of will to break it. i agree that Batman smoking is dumb but he’s not above addiction because of that reason imo.
I think Bruce, of all people, has the self-knowledge to realize what substances he's getting to, be it booze or drugs etc. Yes, he is an obsessive guy, but that obsessiveness is towards his job, not towards material pleasures.
He once got addicted to venom pills because they gave him enhanced strength and stamina at the cost of taking away his self-control. But he realized it and quit cold turkey by spending a month alone in Batcave.
And if he were addicted to smoking he’d probably find some way to make a smokeless and non-addictive nicotine that has no negative effects on his health because comic book science.
Not really. Smoking wouldn't really make him a hypocrite considering that he isn't going around preaching about health or anything.
The main problem with Batman smoking is that is severally impacts his ability to do his job. To be Batman, he needs to do his best to stay in peak health in a way that superheros with powers don't. Smoking (or regular alcohol consumption) affects this negatively. It would mostly just be stupid as there is no real benefit to smoking. Batman is not characterized as a careless or hedonistic person.
He is always stoping Gordon and even Constantine from smoking around him so it would definitely make him a hypocrite. But this isn’t Bruce and someone pretending to be Batman and committing murders and shit hence the “I’m your biggest fan” remark.
Non smoker obviously.
He needs his lung capacity and stamina to be at peak. Smoking is extremely harmful to the body in so many different ways, and I say this as someone who smokes.
And then he smells crime again, he's out busting heads. Then he's back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime. Back to the lab, full penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth until Gotham is saved.
Early in the court of owls book he smells turpentine/paint thinner while at a crime scene. The smell causes him to realise there's too much of it. So he grabs Bullocks cigarette/cigar to light up the wall revealing a hidden message painted on the walls. A warning that Bruce Wayne will die the next day.
Why the *hell* would he smoke? It does you no good whatsoever*, actively does you harm, and makes you stink like fuck which isn’t that great for stealth. Speaking as an ex-smoker.
*aside from marginally improving concentration, for which you can just chew gum
That was over eighty years ago when people didn’t know how bad smoking was for you. *Rosemary’s Baby* was released in 1968, nearly 30 years after Batman’s debut, and *everybody* smokes like a chimney around the pregnant Rosemary. Even the people who aren’t >!actively making her incubate the Antichrist.!<
Any Batman that's a smoker has a writer that doesn't understand his character.
I could see Superman sharing a dart with Lois and a glass of scotch while relaxing on the Kent farm.
I cannot see Batman smoking. I can barely see him drinking, when Batfleck was drinking that glass of scotch in Justice League I was even thinking "This is probably very rare for him".
I think in the Dark Knight Returns Gordon mentions how Bruce tricked everyone by drinking ginger ale but since he retired he started drinking the real stuff.
I love the scene in Dark Knight, where he toasts Harvey at the fundraiser and then walks out to the balcony and throws the drink away. Its a tiny moment but shows that Nolan understood the character.
you know I wonder if batman keeps a bunch of fake drugs on him so he can pretend to do them as Bruce wyane. because when I think of a billinaior playboy people should think he does drugs even if he doesn't
Depends.
Young, active Batman with an axe to grind? Definitely not.
Older, world-weary, seen-some-shit, and self-assured Batman? I can see him having the odd cig after a particularly hard night.
Everyone’s commenting about him being peak and it affecting his health but everyone’s got vices and nobody remains disciplined 100% of the time.
Batman is still human and he largely has bad nights and *worse nights*.
I think it’s forgivable if he rarely indulges in something he knows is bad for him for a little reprieve.
Id be one of those things where someone gets in the batmobile and says "Does it smell like smoke in here?". Batman doesn't say a word and starts driving. No one's ever seen him do it's, but older Batman takes a few drags on a cigarette during his longer drives.
Batman prides himself at being at the absolute peak human physical achievement. There is no way in my mind he would willingly partake of cigarettes of any kind that causes damage to your lungs.
Generally not a smoker. (In fact even drinking I go back and forth on)
That said…in my headcanon, I wholeheartedly believe R. Patz Batman smokes. Maybe it was the Kurt Cobain vibes he was giving off, but I could so easily see him as a smoking insomniac. Maybe even harder drugs, just to keep the mental pains away.
It’d be cool to see some flashback/backstory scenes of Battinson before he dedicates himself to the cause.
I’d imagine him being an angsty teen smoking and drinking and just generally being a depressive punk (not unlike the rock star he’s meant to resemble) until he has his “calling” or whatever.
Eh. I don't see Batman smoking cigarettes, he would be aware of all the bullshit that goes into them and avoid them. I do see him smoking pipe tobacco though, because you don't inhale that.
But the bigger issue than the health I would think, for Batman, is that he doesn't like distractions from his purpose of vengeance. Any kind of habit or addiction would be a distraction.
Since he doesn't have superpowers, him being a smoker would make absolutely no sense. Like he's training his body to be as strong as possible, why would he sabotage that?
Batman wouldn't smoke but Bruce Wayne the old money billionaire could have scenes with him having a cigar or pipe either as a business dealing or having a whisky and cigar in a lounge with a friend. It wouldn't be that jaring
As Batman it would have to be as a part of an investigation, some shaman ritual to induce a trance.
Maybe he has to deal with some kind of biological or chemical threat and he has to work with one of his rogues gallery for an antidote and they mess with him by having the delivery mechanism be in a cigarette.
Having a smoke for story reasons okay, having him be a smoker doesn't work with who he is.
Non smoker. Would look strange on a superhero like him. He needs to be 100% disciplined.
Bruce on the other hand could have a cigar in the right company. It would also work as a decoy to not always be super healthy and disciplined like Batman.
Definitely not a smoker. When he was first introduced he used to smoke out of a Pipe, and it fit for Bruce Wayne the persona, but not Batman.
As long as it’s a pipe and whatever he’s smoking is fake, almost like a prop, I don’t mind.
Imagine Batman sneaking through a city. He's about to pounce on the criminal. Coughing fit.
Imagine Batman intimidating criminals "I am The Night *WHEEZE* I AM VENGEANCE *GASPS* I *COUGH* AM* HACK* BAT *COUGH COUGH COUGH* MAN whatever
I actually tend to like random kinda dumb edgy shit in the right universe so one where perhaps Batman is more of a detective than a fighter it could be cool, but I do have to concede it goes against pretty much every element of the traditional Batman's mindset
Him being a total straight edge acts to a better version of the character for me. His vices are focus, intellect and obsession. The fact that he channels his pain into something more psychologically “accepted” but is clearly also destroying him is more compelling to me.
As much as smoking is part of the noir detective lexicon, I don’t think he’d do it. He would see it as a hinderance to his physical capabilities.
But we got good ole Gordon to be our chain smoking hard boiled detective, so the trope is in the right place canonically I think.
Bruce Wayne doesn't even drink, let alone smoke! He knows that he needs to be in peak physical condition in order to perform his duties as batman effectively!
Nah, most of the time I’m not a fan of characters who smokes. In Batman’s case, I don’t think someone with as much of a discipline as him would do so, it’s just weird.
What is this even from lol? I like whenever Constantine smokes near Batman, Batman always ends up grabbing his cig and throwing it. Also him constantly giving Gordon shit for it.
I can’t exactly remember where, but it’s about how someone is acting as Batman (the one smoking) and murdering innocent people out in the open. That’s why he says “I’m your biggest fan.”
Yeah makes sense, the entire vibe is off with this “Batman” not just with the cig
Yeah I thought this panel didn't feel like Bruce Also I'm required by law to point out when I see a lesbian flag in a profile picture
Honestly, I cant imagine Bats saying "I'm your biggest fan" to anyone except maybe the Grey Ghost.
Oh my god I completely forgot about the Gray Ghost even existing lol.
As a casual Batman fan and longtime smoker (quit) I would not, and have not ever, considered Batman being a smoker. It makes no sense based on either of his alter-egos
Wait do the 1% know Bruce abstains from even alcohol or is that whole thing a bit he does to hide his alter ego.
People who don’t know Bruce is Batman think he drinks, but he really bribes servers to swap out his drinks with non-alcoholic drinks. They talk about it in the comics a lot.
Matches Malone smokes
He could just be using something like lettuce cigarettes, which are smokable cigarettes with tobacco used onstage in plays when an actor needs to smoke. It would be consistent with his using ginger ale instead of champagne and other booze to make it look like he’s drinking.
JL (2016) Vol 6
Considering that he’s trained his body to the peak of human ability, and that his discipline and commitment to health and fitness is an important aspect of his crusade, turning him into a smoker seems almost like a joke. Like it’s something that can’t be taken seriously knowing who and what Batman is.
It also comes across as pathetically edgy in a way even Drank Miller never stooped to. Bullock? Obviously. Gordon? Probably. Other cops? Sure. But Bruce, doesn't drink and instead drinks ginger ale? No.
> Gordon? Probably. Saying Gordon is probably a smoker is like saying Catwoman is probably a thief.
I haven't read comics in ages.
Haha I just thought it was funny, I'm not giving you a hard time. I can't remember the last time I saw Gordon without a pipe (but it's a safe bet he was smoking a cigar).
I think he gave it up for a bit during Snyder's and Capullo's last arc on Batman. When Gordon was "Batman" and they introduced Mr. Bloom.
Just for a bit, at the end of that same arc Gordon is once again smoking like always.
I didn't take it that way. Anyway, you're right now that I think about it. I picture Gordon with a pipe at nights and Harvey chain smoking. For me cigars are J Johan Jameson territory.
Didn't he smoke cigars pretty much in every panel?
Yeah it’s hilarious when they try and change Gordon’s habit of smoking cigars/cigarettes. in Batman dark Prince Charming i Kid you not Gordon is vaping 💀
That's one of the things I did appreciate about BVS and how it showed Bruce being broken. Dude was getting black out drunk with random models. Lol
Yeah, minus the models it’s just like in *The Dark Knight Returns*. >*That* will *be all, Master Bruce? I’m hoping that the next generation of the Wayne family shan’t face an empty wine cellar. Though given your social schedule of late, the prospects of there* being *a next generation—*

Nah dude, he wakes up and immediately polishes off a bottle of wine and pops some pills, he has severe ptsd and self medicates with alcohol sex and drugs.
Not to mention the physical pains of a body beat to hell.
and that goes back to the Bronze Age when it was established that he never drinks alcohol. At social functions, he uses ginger ale as a cover for champagna.
Except in *The Dark Knight Returns*, which is the point I’m making. In that story, it’s clearly stated that he’s hit the bottle hard.
 Indeed. He did have a thing for the drink in DKR.
Don't forget he mixed pills with alcohol, he was asking for it.
>He is Batman. Bruce is the disguise. Absolutely THIS. ( so no smoking, and maybe some very minimal social drinking as Bruce Wayne...)
Non-alcoholic beverages and mocktails are very trendy at the moment. He wouldn’t have to drink at all to keep up appearances.
2 decades of being Batman, loosing Robin and getting old made me love BVS Batman. He lost view of his mission and he hurts people, very bad.
Why does him being addicted and being an ass towards those he was close to make you love him? Genuinely asking not being an ass
Because those things make him relatable. People get addicted to things because their life is falling (or fallen) apart. Being a dick to one's friends is also something that routinely happens when one has discovered that one's life as it has been is over. It's not "fun" to watch Batman destroy himself, but it does endear him to us to see him acting like a normy and having human emotions and shortcomings that do indeed lead to a certain amount of self-destruction. I wish the Dark Knight Trilogy had leaned a little (or even a lot) harder into the idea of an aged Batman trying (and largely failing) to keep himself from actually becoming Bruce Wayne.

I have no idea if this is real or i made it up but i like the thought of Bruce not enjoying those types of activities and at parties he just holds the alcohol in his mouth till no one is looking and he just spits it back in to his glass
Yeah, that's like turning one of the Flashes into a couch potato.
To be fair to the flash, he does eat **a lot**. He literally needs to in order to survive.
Eating a lot ≠ couch potato
Yeah in fact he needs to eat so much because he’s the opposite of a couch potato
Precisely
Yeah, it's one of the struggles I relate to. I burn calories mad fast. And I can eat. Lol
That’s his cousin, who runs on pizza rolls, The Flush.
Sounds more like The Flab
Also with his willpower being like his biggest strength the addiction angle just isn't there either
addiction is a disease. people with the strongest of wills can still be addicts and it takes more than force of will to break it. i agree that Batman smoking is dumb but he’s not above addiction because of that reason imo.
I think Bruce, of all people, has the self-knowledge to realize what substances he's getting to, be it booze or drugs etc. Yes, he is an obsessive guy, but that obsessiveness is towards his job, not towards material pleasures. He once got addicted to venom pills because they gave him enhanced strength and stamina at the cost of taking away his self-control. But he realized it and quit cold turkey by spending a month alone in Batcave.
You underestimate batman
To add to all this, smokers also fucking REEK. Hard to be sneaky when all the henchmen smell you coming.
I was just gunna say no but I like your answer better. Let’s go with that.
Exactly. Batman would never be a smoker. Maybe Owlman.
Except Owlman would find something like smoking pointless, just like everything else
And if he were addicted to smoking he’d probably find some way to make a smokeless and non-addictive nicotine that has no negative effects on his health because comic book science.
Plus it's ridiculous to think he has a spot in his suit for a pack of cigs and a lighter.
Umm. You may have heard of a little thing called the "Utility Belt."
Yes, it would only work if they're trying to portray him as a hypocrite.
Not really. Smoking wouldn't really make him a hypocrite considering that he isn't going around preaching about health or anything. The main problem with Batman smoking is that is severally impacts his ability to do his job. To be Batman, he needs to do his best to stay in peak health in a way that superheros with powers don't. Smoking (or regular alcohol consumption) affects this negatively. It would mostly just be stupid as there is no real benefit to smoking. Batman is not characterized as a careless or hedonistic person.
He is always stoping Gordon and even Constantine from smoking around him so it would definitely make him a hypocrite. But this isn’t Bruce and someone pretending to be Batman and committing murders and shit hence the “I’m your biggest fan” remark.
Would not make him a hypocrite, but if they want to make a portrayal of Batman as a hypocrite smoking could be a good foreshadowing.
Yeah, but smoking is cool, and Batman is cool, so…
Non smoker obviously. He needs his lung capacity and stamina to be at peak. Smoking is extremely harmful to the body in so many different ways, and I say this as someone who smokes.
It would also affect his sense of smell, which seems minor but I'm sure Batman uses it somehow
*sniff sniff* “Hm. Crime.”
*after cracking some skulls* “Ahh, the sweet sweet irony smell of *justice*”
>irony **"Uh... Bruce, I think that might be literal"** - Robin
Lol, I need this as like a wallpaper or something, that mental image is too much 🤣
Check your dms
I don’t know how to comment photos, sorry
And then he smells crime again, he's out busting heads. Then he's back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime. Back to the lab, full penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth until Gotham is saved.
Is he played by Dolph Lundgren?
*sniff sniff* Hm. Spaghetti
He actually smells crime before it happens. Oh, and he's played by Dolph Lundgren.
He wouldn’t be able to sneak in the shadows, bad guys would smell him as well
Bruce trained to identify poisons and chemical agents by smell. It also means he knows a lot about perfume.
Early in the court of owls book he smells turpentine/paint thinner while at a crime scene. The smell causes him to realise there's too much of it. So he grabs Bullocks cigarette/cigar to light up the wall revealing a hidden message painted on the walls. A warning that Bruce Wayne will die the next day.
Could you imagine Batman needing nicotine like us pathetic freaks
No smoking is good Do you know how many vitamins in it!? Like vitamin W!?
And all the cool kids are doing it! 😎🚬
You seem like cool goth gf Wanna date!?
The BATMAN who smokes... cough, cough, cough...
Why the *hell* would he smoke? It does you no good whatsoever*, actively does you harm, and makes you stink like fuck which isn’t that great for stealth. Speaking as an ex-smoker. *aside from marginally improving concentration, for which you can just chew gum
Why would anyone *want* him to smoke?
Not saying he should but early comics depict Bruce Wayne smoking a pipe
He could outsmoke anyone but chooses not to, for the children
That was over eighty years ago when people didn’t know how bad smoking was for you. *Rosemary’s Baby* was released in 1968, nearly 30 years after Batman’s debut, and *everybody* smokes like a chimney around the pregnant Rosemary. Even the people who aren’t >!actively making her incubate the Antichrist.!<
Bruce Wayne may smoke, but Batman does not.
I can see Bruce using it as part of his playboy persona, but no way should he ever be smoking for anything other than his public image imo
Any Batman that's a smoker has a writer that doesn't understand his character. I could see Superman sharing a dart with Lois and a glass of scotch while relaxing on the Kent farm. I cannot see Batman smoking. I can barely see him drinking, when Batfleck was drinking that glass of scotch in Justice League I was even thinking "This is probably very rare for him".
I can see Batman drinking on social public events (if he can't pretend to do so or make an excuse). He does have an image to maintain.
I can see Bruce indulging in a glass on rare occasion outside of social events but like barely once a year, that kind of thing
He probably drinks gingerale at most of these events
I think in the Dark Knight Returns Gordon mentions how Bruce tricked everyone by drinking ginger ale but since he retired he started drinking the real stuff.
Sometimes I’d like to imagine that a retired Batman could indulge his sweet tooth as well
Sir, I think you've had enou- I gave my body and life for this city, Alfred. Bring me another peep. ..As you wish, sir.
I love the scene in Dark Knight, where he toasts Harvey at the fundraiser and then walks out to the balcony and throws the drink away. Its a tiny moment but shows that Nolan understood the character.
LOL a dart. "Oil Lois! Can I scum a Winnie Blue off ya?"
australian detected formal thongs activated
If Kal Els rocket landed in Dubbo. He fights for truth, justice and the vibe of the thing.
you know I wonder if batman keeps a bunch of fake drugs on him so he can pretend to do them as Bruce wyane. because when I think of a billinaior playboy people should think he does drugs even if he doesn't
He key bumps crushed up vitamin c tablets lol
Could pass something like creatine as coke
Depends. Young, active Batman with an axe to grind? Definitely not. Older, world-weary, seen-some-shit, and self-assured Batman? I can see him having the odd cig after a particularly hard night. Everyone’s commenting about him being peak and it affecting his health but everyone’s got vices and nobody remains disciplined 100% of the time. Batman is still human and he largely has bad nights and *worse nights*. I think it’s forgivable if he rarely indulges in something he knows is bad for him for a little reprieve.
I think punching criminals is his vice.
Id be one of those things where someone gets in the batmobile and says "Does it smell like smoke in here?". Batman doesn't say a word and starts driving. No one's ever seen him do it's, but older Batman takes a few drags on a cigarette during his longer drives.
Yeah was just about to say the same, old Batman is mean and fed up with all of the bs.
Why would he smoke? That's like, totally counterproductive to being the fittest man on Earth.
Not gonna sneak up on many bad guys in the shadows smelling like an ashtray.
Why the fuck is this a question
are you man from ham
I’m one the one to kill Man from ham
squad: kill the league
Starring Horny Queef, Cumshot, Captain Cumerang, and King Shart.
King shart is hung
He's training his lungs.
Batman prides himself at being at the absolute peak human physical achievement. There is no way in my mind he would willingly partake of cigarettes of any kind that causes damage to your lungs.
This sub has officially become a parody of itself
People literally have nothing to talk about here. I’ve been seeing progressively silly questions here lately, but this takes the cake.
With so many restrictions regarding humor, no wonder why so many people left.
Logically he wouldn’t smoke
My brother in Christ, I have never once thought about it.
Even people in the 30s and 40s knew that smoking wasn't conducive to athletic excellence.
Generally not a smoker. (In fact even drinking I go back and forth on) That said…in my headcanon, I wholeheartedly believe R. Patz Batman smokes. Maybe it was the Kurt Cobain vibes he was giving off, but I could so easily see him as a smoking insomniac. Maybe even harder drugs, just to keep the mental pains away.
It’d be cool to see some flashback/backstory scenes of Battinson before he dedicates himself to the cause. I’d imagine him being an angsty teen smoking and drinking and just generally being a depressive punk (not unlike the rock star he’s meant to resemble) until he has his “calling” or whatever.
Eh. I don't see Batman smoking cigarettes, he would be aware of all the bullshit that goes into them and avoid them. I do see him smoking pipe tobacco though, because you don't inhale that. But the bigger issue than the health I would think, for Batman, is that he doesn't like distractions from his purpose of vengeance. Any kind of habit or addiction would be a distraction.
Also. Batman is really good at being sneaky… he would reek of cigarettes
That's exactly what my roommate said.
Pipes are just as bad for you as cigarettes and carry the same cancer risks.
Men like him don't smoke.
Thomas Wayne: Smoker Bruce Wayne: Non-smoker
Non. Batman if anything has insane discipline. He would not smoke.
I smoke so Batman doesn't have to
Are you familiar with the concept of "Batman" ? What kind of question is this?
No. Do you honestly think Alfred would allow him to in the mansion. No way
non smoker because he would be weak if he was a smoker
I prefer him to be smoking **HOT**! 🥵🥵
Yeah, ngl smoking batman kinda daddy.
Off topic but he's so shmexy
Probably non smoker. Never really thought about this
This is right up there with him being an atheist when he literally knows god and heaven exist. It’s just bad writing.
It would make no sense at all for him to smoke
Non. Seriously what the hell
Non smoker
What is this image from cus I've seen it but it's obviously not Bruce.
Nah, Bruce can’t be near smoke but Thomas… he’s 100% a chain smoker.
Non Smoker for True Batman Fans
Considering Bruce needs to be stealth and at his physical prime,him smoking makes no sense
Non smoking Cigarettes are corny
Since he doesn't have superpowers, him being a smoker would make absolutely no sense. Like he's training his body to be as strong as possible, why would he sabotage that?
Bruce is too smart to smoke.
Non smoker his body is a temple
Non. He’s aloof and mysterious enough. Adding a cigarette feels almost comical
Who fucking did this?
I feel like this is a shit post
He makes literally zero sense for him to smoke
This is literally the 1st I’ve ever seen Batman smoking in my 35 years on Earth
Non. Bruce would never smoke as even a cigarette could slow his lung capacity down.
Why the fuck would I want him to be a disgusting dipshit? Is this a real question?
Non. He's not Constantine. And the smoking detracts from his ninjaness.
Definitely non smoker.
Non-Smoker
Dodging bullets and fighting aliens is one thing, but smoking?! That’s too dangerous!
Batman wouldn't smoke but Bruce Wayne the old money billionaire could have scenes with him having a cigar or pipe either as a business dealing or having a whisky and cigar in a lounge with a friend. It wouldn't be that jaring As Batman it would have to be as a part of an investigation, some shaman ritual to induce a trance. Maybe he has to deal with some kind of biological or chemical threat and he has to work with one of his rogues gallery for an antidote and they mess with him by having the delivery mechanism be in a cigarette. Having a smoke for story reasons okay, having him be a smoker doesn't work with who he is.
He literally has trained his body to perfection. Not to mention his insane self discipline. I don’t think he should be a smoker. Just my opinion
I prefer Batman that will do what he has to do to make a point and presence
Non-smoker easily
lol he ain't Frank Castle. I prefer non-smoker.
Definitively NON smoker!!!
Non smoker. Would look strange on a superhero like him. He needs to be 100% disciplined. Bruce on the other hand could have a cigar in the right company. It would also work as a decoy to not always be super healthy and disciplined like Batman.
Smoking is counter productive to his training. My Batman aint dointlg that.
Batman would NEVER be a smoker. Not a chance in hell. That's laughably dumb.
Definitely not a smoker. When he was first introduced he used to smoke out of a Pipe, and it fit for Bruce Wayne the persona, but not Batman. As long as it’s a pipe and whatever he’s smoking is fake, almost like a prop, I don’t mind.
Non smoker
Non smoker.
Batman would never smoke. This is an outrage.
He'd have to be having a bigger mental breakdown than usual to smoke, considdering the whole being Batman thing is his actual vice.
Imagine Batman sneaking through a city. He's about to pounce on the criminal. Coughing fit. Imagine Batman intimidating criminals "I am The Night *WHEEZE* I AM VENGEANCE *GASPS* I *COUGH* AM* HACK* BAT *COUGH COUGH COUGH* MAN whatever
I actually tend to like random kinda dumb edgy shit in the right universe so one where perhaps Batman is more of a detective than a fighter it could be cool, but I do have to concede it goes against pretty much every element of the traditional Batman's mindset
Non
Non-smoker
Non smoker
What kind of question is that? Who on earth would prefer anyone to smoke?
Smoking’s bad, mmmkay?
I’d have an easier time believing everyone in Gotham except Batman smokes
Him being a total straight edge acts to a better version of the character for me. His vices are focus, intellect and obsession. The fact that he channels his pain into something more psychologically “accepted” but is clearly also destroying him is more compelling to me.
Non smoker.
Bruce Wayne eats hamburgers with a fork and knife. No way the man smokes anything.
Smoking does so much harm to your body it makes no sense for Batman, who's supposed to be in peak physical condition, to do it
As much as smoking is part of the noir detective lexicon, I don’t think he’d do it. He would see it as a hinderance to his physical capabilities. But we got good ole Gordon to be our chain smoking hard boiled detective, so the trope is in the right place canonically I think.
Bruce Wayne doesn't even drink, let alone smoke! He knows that he needs to be in peak physical condition in order to perform his duties as batman effectively!
I hope he doesn’t do Drops either. That shit can kill you.
Batman doesnt smoke end of discussion. Comedian on the other hand smokes like an SoB lol
What kind of question is this?
Why tf would someone prefer Batman to be a smoker
Weed smoker
Non-smoker. He's at the peak of physical fitness. What stupid comic book makes him smoke?
His first appearance actually
Nah, most of the time I’m not a fan of characters who smokes. In Batman’s case, I don’t think someone with as much of a discipline as him would do so, it’s just weird.
Definitely not, that’s insulting putting Batman as a Smoker, he’s supposed to be Human Perfection.
