So it’s canonical that Batman’s parents’ murder while the family was off to see a Zorro movie became part of his masked hero persona right?

What about the alternate universes where the Wayne family went to a Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers or Marx Brothers movie instead?

@Leucrotta The first case probably gives you Young Wayne becoming Vega from Street Fighter, and the second... BatJoker, taking down the criminals with a laugh. And deadly toys.

@Tuftears I’m imagining something like the Silver Age Batman stuff with no fatalities and big props, as this mix of Harpo physicality with Groucho’s rapid fire delivery.

@Leucrotta Yeah, that works! Maybe it was just for yuks at first and got more serious over the decades.
