Looking at the McDonald's burger I think the white sauce may be a kind of mustard cause it has seeds in it like some kinds of Dijon. The darker sauce may be steak sauce or some kinda thick soy sauce.
You mentioned Condiment King reverse engineering the Jokerized seasoning, but I like to imagine Condiment King is actually the owner of Batburger. Maybe Bruce even gave him the start-up money to help him turn his life around, like that time he got Penny Plunderer a job as an accountant.
I can totally see the residents of Gotham embracing Bat Burger in the same way that New Yorkers embrace the crapier aspects of living there and wear it like a badge of honor "I'm from Gotham, I'm constantly terrorized by psychopathic clowns and giant talking crocodiles, of course I'm going to jokerize my fries."

I love the idea of Batburger, but I think it should be a single restaurant in Gotham. The country-wide chain is taking it too far. But Gotham is weird enough that I can see someone opening this. It would be a tourist gimmick that the locals think is stupid but they are perversely fond of. And some locals routinely do picket signs in front of it. It’s a busy place. The figurines quickly become collectors items. But they don’t do villain figurines in case someone doesn’t like their likeness. And they don’t have the Joker’s face anywhere. I also enjoy the idea that Bruce eats fast food with utensils when in public, as an act. And to embarrass his kids. He can multitask like that.

TBH I know Poison Ivy has been depicted as a vegan before but I think it makes more sense if she was a hardcore meat eater and never ate plants because she doesn’t want to harm them lol.
Would the Magistrate close down Bat Burger because it glorifies vigilantes? Are there Victor fries at Bat Burger? Does Bat Burger take items off the menu while the supervillains they correspond to are attacking the city or do those attacks up sales? Does the owner pay Gotham villains to commit major crimes when the food linked to that villain isn't selling well enough? Who owns Bat Burger (for some reason my money's on Booster Gold)? Given that Bat Burger has chains outside Gotham what does this say for the global popularity of Batman compared to other superheroes that may or may not have fast-food chains? Do Barry & Wally mock Bruce for having a fast-food chain when they have a museum? There's too many questions, time for another massive multiverse retconning crisis.
I just cannot help but wonder HOW HAS JOKER NOT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF "JOKERIZING" THE FRIES! Jack Napier would be making sure that they "get a load of me" and put a smile ear-to-ear on 'em!
I think that DC needs to come up with a full-on cookbook with all sorts of food that various characters have eaten / would hypothetically eat (including the chili you mentioned and the stuff from Bat-Burger). You could have fancy stuff that Bruce Wayne would eat (maybe also Alfred's award-winning cookies from Wayne Family Adventures), good ole mid-west meals Ma Kent would've made for Clark, Greek meals from Themyscira, Chocos (as long as you keep them away from Martian Manhunter), vegetarian & vegan things Beast Boy would eat, coffee-infused things Tim Drake would scarf down, etc.
Bat Burger may be in questionable taste ( sic ) but Marvel has dicey themed restaurants too . Red Skull Deep Dish Pizza and Fish raised eyebrows and cholesterol in Marvel world 613 . Green Goblin Gobbler Taco Town was known for its spicy salsa verde . Doc Oc's Seafood Spread had one too many food poisoning accidents to ever get popular , sadly because Otto's Insalada de Polpo was to die for .
I had that spicy salsa, but it was at Alamo Drafthouse. Idk if they just heard about it and made their own version or if they actually got the recipe from someone who wrote it or what. It was pretty good either way, but I am from San Antonio so most of the Mexican food is good.
Re: Sauces for the Hong Kong Bat Burger -- my guess is that the first would be sweet justice and the other would be pure darkness. I also wonder if it is available in a NO PARENTS! happy meal.
It's actually black pepper sauce, I've had it in Hong Kong. I remember charcoal black buns too but can't be certain it was the bat burger. Do not they do remix similar recipes all the time in Hong Kong.
I actually really like Batburger. I know they don't, like, give it a backstory, and it's kinda implied to be new, but come on, it's a chain restaurant, it had to start somewhere. I like to picture it as starting out when Batman was just an urban legend, tourist trap style a la Mothman or Salem Witch Trials kitsch. I can see the villain menu items getting added essentially as protection FROM the villains overtime as the costumed villain scene gets worse in Gotham. I doubt the gangs and mobs really cared about a batman themed restaurant, but when Joker came knocking and threatened to blow the place up for the audacity of not having anything Joker themed on the menu, some manager came up with "Jokerized fries" on the spot, and they got out of the altercation with just a couple stolen buckets of fries as damages. Maybe they considered closing, but then the Justice League became a thing, Batman was a confirmed and famous hero, and they had more business than ever. So it just became a franchise, and their non-Gotham locations more than make up for the number of times the OG restaurant's been robbed. I know I'm putting way more thought into the backstory of this restaurant than DC ever did, but idk, I like it. I think it's a fun concept.
My headcannon handwave is that Bat Burger is generally seen as coping mechanism/act of defiance for the average people against the terror of living in Gotham.
It would be hilarious if Villains are either the major shareholders or the owners of the franchise and use the money to finance their villainous endeavours, what better way to stick it to Batman than to have a (semi) legal business and making money off his image? Or better yet, what if the Owner is the Evil Coronel Sanders trying to ruin both Batman and KFC as his revenge?
I think the villains don't attakc precisely because they love themed things and their egos want to protect the place. Maybe even lesser villains are afraid of attacking because the bigger ones might get mad. Getting a menu item there is a sign they made it big.
@@hope-cat4894 Im picturing the classic "fan telling the real person than their costume is not accurate", or "losing in the costume contest to a person dressed as you"
4:32 I would like to imagine that the Penguin doesn’t allow his name to be used in establishments without his share of money. Since he’s still a business man and all.
I feel like this only works in the Adam West type universe. Batman in that verse is local celebrity and hero so it makes more sense and that show had silly villains that I can buy Joker fires being a thing and no one having a problem
Yeah, using the Joker's name and likeness (and not having jokerized fries have some "hilarious" side effects) seems like the sort of thing that either requires some very careful negotiation in advance, or gets you a visit from Mr J and the gang to "discuss" intellectual property rights...
I like to imagine that there's some crazy powerful villain who's actually the owner of this restaurant for no reason. And that's the reason why nobody dares mess with it. Maybe lex luthor owns it, or somekind of new god?
Would be too easy especially since it was done on purpose the creators always intended and said so in an interview the show was always meant to "So Square!" that we could all laugh at the silliness of situations.
Loved the video! I can see it now... Commissioner Gordon: Condiment King has escaped from Arkham! Batman: Don't Worry, Jim. I'll get him. Batman then heads straight to Bat Burger to find the Condiment King arguing with the cashier that the way they represent him in the restaurant makes him look like a joke.
Headcanon: Jokerizing fries started off as a secret menu upgrade that was officially added to the menu. Also regarding the Joker, I am reminded of the time Joker when through the drive-thru being quite the karen over the intercom and demanding to speak to the manager... and then shooting said manager in the face.
Regarding the burger issue, I think that Bruce would eat it that way when he's in a suit or in regular clothes cause he'd get yelled at by Alfred if he were to get stains or anything lol. but in the batsuit he doesn't care and will just go in on it with his hands, especially since it has gloves. That's my headcanon atleast.
I mean, makes sense. Sure, the places mostly empty at that time, but there is still staff and random people who can recognize Bruce fucking Wayne. No reason imo for him to break character in that regard.
@@cisalzlman If After All This Time, Alfred Can't Tell The Difference Between Blood And Ketchup, He Should Just Spare Bruce's And His Own Embarrassment And Retire. Perhaps To Sunny Italy.
Agreed. One of his skills is acting appropriately for how he is dressed. Not only as Batman and Bruce Wayne, but also when he does things like dressing as a homeless man for surveillance.
I feel like a modern Bat Burger would need the Bat Emblem seared into the meat or the bun. Jokerizing needs to be some mix of Ranch and BBQ sauce with Green Onions. Mostly because it's an insane combination of red, white, and green.
I freaking love the idea of Batburger and can't help but think Bruce would own the rights to it. Owning the legal rights to all things Batman to franchise out allows him to keep his cover as a billionaire business man just out to make money while also protecting the batman likeness from being used for more nefarious things since he'd be able to sue (and claim his lawyers would sue the real batman if they could catch him)
Honestly, I like the idea that Bruce Wayne eats a burger with a knife and fork, but Batman just eats a burger. Like it’s just another layer of separation. He couldn’t possibly be Batman. He uses a knife and fork.
Bat burger will always remind me of the amazing panel of Jason eating burgers on the batmobile with Batman. Still one of my favorite Jason and Bruce moments
Could the distinction of Bruce eating a burger like a normal person verses with a knife and fork have anything to do with the fact that he used the knife and fork as Bruce and the other times he's in the Batman suit? I mean, if you' in a suit and tie, and probably have a board meeting or something later that day, maybe you're a bit more dainty about how you eat. Whereas if you're wearing your night time extrajudicial tactical gear, which regularly gets dirty and probably has seen its fair share of bloodstains (yours and others) what's a bit of ketchup or burger grease going to do to it...? 🤷♂
I'm pretty sure that the Laughing Fish was a Copywrite scam where Joker wanted to make millions off of his copywrite. Also, I Myself regularly use a knife and fork to eat Burgers that are too big for a regular biting technique.
I'm just surprised that the menu doesn't have a bat taco, which is just a renamed vampire taco (a vampire taco, for those who don't know, is a fried taco with cheese between the layers, giving it a bat-like shape).
Joker would indeed "jokerize" the fries first chance he got. And likely some other villain would do so, using him as cover. It is such a bad idea.... And it not being used for such obvious plot points makes it worse.....
forever salty that we had a scene with all the batboys at bat burger together but tim wasn’t included. i know /why/ he wasnt but im still mad because it wouldve been cute to have them all there 😔
I think a superhero-themed food chain would absolutely exist... The villain menus? Not so much. At least until a great deal of time has passed since their last attack. In defense of Bruce, I must say that I too use a fork and a knife to cut big burgers into smaller pieces xD
Hearing you say Jokerized fries my mind immediately went to The Batman Animated series episode where Joker attacks a casino that used his appearance. Joker would definitely attack people trying to make money off of him especially in the comic where he's a legit homicidal maniac. Though I don't know if they changed him again.
I think he's doing it with a fork and knife out of protest of the whole thing. And I think this is a Penguin venture. This seems like the legit but skeezy type of business he'd come up with.
I think it'd probably be a bit too inside-baseball to have it at Batburger, but I hope Superburger in Metropolis has an entire side of the restaurant devoted to condiments... y'know, the _Sauce Wall!_
I remember in Batman TAS a guy tried to get The Joker to destroy his casino and collect the insurance money by making the casino Joker themed needless to say IT WORKED except for the part where the insurance company wouldn't cover his losses because someone (Bruce Wayne) left an anonymous tip with the insurance company about the scheme.
YES. Please make the food. And when you are stressed from overthinking BatBurger, remember the words from song writer Joel Hodgson, "....if you're wondering how he eats, and breathes, and other science facts, repeat to yourself that it's just a show I really should just relax..." Now, I know we're talking shows, and not books, but the song will help anyway.
Try the Jokerized Fries! You'll receive a smile with every bite! Wait, that's not the seasoning... Pair the Night-Wings with the KG-BLT! It'll blow your mind! Enjoy the Two-Face sandwich! The only acid involved is from our teenage employees!
Bruce eats the burger with cutlery because he's in a suit. It's less likely to get burger sauce or mayo on it if he uses a knife and fork. That's all there is to it. Ppl do this all the time, and it's not any more complicated than protecting their fancy clothes from getting messy. He could have gone with using a napkin or hanky as a bib, but this was probably a funnier visual.
Honestly I wish Bat Burger and SuperBabes (the Hooters like restaurant) from Batman and Harley Quinn were real things cause I'd legit love a Batman themed burger joint and a super hero themed Hooters esque restaurant not already existing doesn't make sense to me like how did nobody see the idea of Femboy Hooters and SuperBabes and not go "hmmmm I could probably do that and make a crap ton of money from it".
Franchising the joker reminds me of that one Batman TAS episode where a casino uses the jokers image as their gimmick. All basically to get the joker as a part of their complicated insurance scam.
Let me offer a reason as for why Bruce would eat the burger the sane way my father does. He want to eat all the components of the burger together without one slipping away and to avoid being messy, Yes this is the reason my father gave me.
I was wondering if this was the moment someone recommended an intervention for Sasha, but maybe we hold off for now . . . I want to see that cooking a Batburger video! Hahaha! If you want to REALLY go down a fast food tunnel, there's a 70's issue of a Superman comic where he has to keep eating and goes to McDoogles (or something like that). They had a sign of over 1 billion burgers served, and the last panel shows they changed the sign to 2 billion! For months there was an argument in the letters column whether it was possible Superman ate over a billion burgers or not! Simpler times.
You know what? What I am impressed is that in this era when superhero comic books have transcended the comics medium from both DC and Marvel (sure, DCEU not so hot as the MCU, but DC still has internationally acclaimed recent movies, animation, games, etc.), I am impressed something like this isn't a thing in the real world yet, or at least a DC and a Marvel fast food chain at least in Yank Land.
I want to say the sauces were a garlic aioli and and a steak sauce-dark soy mix for the bat burger. Sadly I have no links to give, but I remember it being that. Anecdotal and eye witness testimony being the absolute worst take it with a grain of salt though.
This always happens to me when I se in-universe figures or toys of heroes or supervillains, I can see a little kid playing with a figure of the Flash or Superman but it's very morbid having them playing with the toy of an active terrorist, bank robber, mercenary or something else, I was going crazy with one episode of Arrow when they showed that Oliver's son had a figure of Captain Cold who was a wanted criminal at the time. Even a Batman figure sounds weird sometimes when he is on that status of vigilante chased by the police

TBH I know Poison Ivy has been depicted as a vegan before but I think it makes more sense if she was a hardcore meat eater and never ate plants because she doesn’t want to harm them lol.
@@Avatar_Brandy no doubt

Morbidly yes
Would the Magistrate close down Bat Burger because it glorifies vigilantes?
Are there Victor fries at Bat Burger?
Does Bat Burger take items off the menu while the supervillains they correspond to are attacking the city or do those attacks up sales?
Does the owner pay Gotham villains to commit major crimes when the food linked to that villain isn't selling well enough?
Who owns Bat Burger (for some reason my money's on Booster Gold)?
Given that Bat Burger has chains outside Gotham what does this say for the global popularity of Batman compared to other superheroes that may or may not have fast-food chains?
Do Barry & Wally mock Bruce for having a fast-food chain when they have a museum?
There's too many questions, time for another massive multiverse retconning crisis.

I just cannot help but wonder HOW HAS JOKER NOT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF "JOKERIZING" THE FRIES! Jack Napier would be making sure that they "get a load of me" and put a smile ear-to-ear on 'em!
Jokerized fries: a smile with every bite - permanently!
Come on back for Jokerized fries… you’ll get a grin, agin and agin!
I think that DC needs to come up with a full-on cookbook with all sorts of food that various characters have eaten / would hypothetically eat (including the chili you mentioned and the stuff from Bat-Burger). You could have fancy stuff that Bruce Wayne would eat (maybe also Alfred's award-winning cookies from Wayne Family Adventures), good ole mid-west meals Ma Kent would've made for Clark, Greek meals from Themyscira, Chocos (as long as you keep them away from Martian Manhunter), vegetarian & vegan things Beast Boy would eat, coffee-infused things Tim Drake would scarf down, etc.
Bat Burger may be in questionable taste ( sic ) but Marvel has dicey themed restaurants too . Red Skull Deep Dish Pizza and Fish raised eyebrows and cholesterol in Marvel world 613 . Green Goblin Gobbler Taco Town was known for its spicy salsa verde . Doc Oc's Seafood Spread had one too many food poisoning accidents to ever get popular , sadly because Otto's Insalada de Polpo was to die for .
There's also Odinburger in ANAD moon knight.
Why would Red Skull have a pizza themed restaurant? A German sausage stand makes more sense, but that might be in even more poor taste. 🥁
@@hope-cat4894 he was advised to avoid ovens altogether but he's evil , so ..
I had that spicy salsa, but it was at Alamo Drafthouse. Idk if they just heard about it and made their own version or if they actually got the recipe from someone who wrote it or what. It was pretty good either way, but I am from San Antonio so most of the Mexican food is good.
It’s really wild for Red Skull of all people to get a themed restaurant, it’s like if there was chain called Hitler’s Hoagies
Re: Sauces for the Hong Kong Bat Burger -- my guess is that the first would be sweet justice and the other would be pure darkness. I also wonder if it is available in a NO PARENTS! happy meal.
Well then its just a sad meal or maybe a brooding meal
Brooding meal! YES!
It's actually black pepper sauce, I've had it in Hong Kong.
I remember charcoal black buns too but can't be certain it was the bat burger. Do not they do remix similar recipes all the time in Hong Kong.
I actually really like Batburger. I know they don't, like, give it a backstory, and it's kinda implied to be new, but come on, it's a chain restaurant, it had to start somewhere. I like to picture it as starting out when Batman was just an urban legend, tourist trap style a la Mothman or Salem Witch Trials kitsch. I can see the villain menu items getting added essentially as protection FROM the villains overtime as the costumed villain scene gets worse in Gotham. I doubt the gangs and mobs really cared about a batman themed restaurant, but when Joker came knocking and threatened to blow the place up for the audacity of not having anything Joker themed on the menu, some manager came up with "Jokerized fries" on the spot, and they got out of the altercation with just a couple stolen buckets of fries as damages. Maybe they considered closing, but then the Justice League became a thing, Batman was a confirmed and famous hero, and they had more business than ever. So it just became a franchise, and their non-Gotham locations more than make up for the number of times the OG restaurant's been robbed.
I know I'm putting way more thought into the backstory of this restaurant than DC ever did, but idk, I like it. I think it's a fun concept.
YES! That's awsome!
YES! We definitely need an IRL Batburger with Jokerized fries on the side! How is this not a thing already?? 😂
Oh goodness yes... we must know...!
My headcannon handwave is that Bat Burger is generally seen as coping mechanism/act of defiance for the average people against the terror of living in Gotham.
It would be hilarious if Villains are either the major shareholders or the owners of the franchise and use the money to finance their villainous endeavours, what better way to stick it to Batman than to have a (semi) legal business and making money off his image?
Or better yet, what if the Owner is the Evil Coronel Sanders trying to ruin both Batman and KFC as his revenge?
I think the villains don't attakc precisely because they love themed things and their egos want to protect the place. Maybe even lesser villains are afraid of attacking because the bigger ones might get mad. Getting a menu item there is a sign they made it big.
The "this is a costume party so we will blend in"... Like they wouldn't stand out like profesional cosplayers in a kindergarten costume party.
I wonder how Comic Con is in the DC universe. 🤔 Some cosplayers do go all out.

4:32 I would like to imagine that the Penguin doesn’t allow his name to be used in establishments without his share of money. Since he’s still a business man and all.
He's probably gone to court and lost since I don't think you can copyright or trademark an animal
@@maxs-lz4pn That’s true 😭
I feel like this only works in the Adam West type universe. Batman in that verse is local celebrity and hero so it makes more sense and that show had silly villains that I can buy Joker fires being a thing and no one having a problem
I think they could throw it in The Harley Quinn Show without issue. I'm surprised they haven't, after watching this video.
@@talefey Good point given that leans into comedy more, it’s lot more believable
Yeah, using the Joker's name and likeness (and not having jokerized fries have some "hilarious" side effects) seems like the sort of thing that either requires some very careful negotiation in advance, or gets you a visit from Mr J and the gang to "discuss" intellectual property rights...
He probably was gonna do something, but tried the fries out of curiosity and decided it was good enough to stay
They're gonna get him in trouble with the IRS
I like to imagine that there's some crazy powerful villain who's actually the owner of this restaurant for no reason. And that's the reason why nobody dares mess with it. Maybe lex luthor owns it, or somekind of new god?
@@klaykid117Batmite's side gig.
Oh Sasha, you should talk more about the 60's Batman show, it's just perfect for episodes about weird stuff!
Would be too easy especially since it was done on purpose the creators always intended and said so in an interview the show was always meant to "So Square!" that we could all laugh at the silliness of situations.
Yes please!
Loved the video! I can see it now... Commissioner Gordon: Condiment King has escaped from Arkham! Batman: Don't Worry, Jim. I'll get him. Batman then heads straight to Bat Burger to find the Condiment King arguing with the cashier that the way they represent him in the restaurant makes him look like a joke.
Headcanon: Jokerizing fries started off as a secret menu upgrade that was officially added to the menu.
Also regarding the Joker, I am reminded of the time Joker when through the drive-thru being quite the karen over the intercom and demanding to speak to the manager... and then shooting said manager in the face.
My theory, Bruce saw that Seinfeld episode, and he's been doing things like that as a gag ever since.
Regarding the burger issue, I think that Bruce would eat it that way when he's in a suit or in regular clothes cause he'd get yelled at by Alfred if he were to get stains or anything lol. but in the batsuit he doesn't care and will just go in on it with his hands, especially since it has gloves. That's my headcanon atleast.
That adds up tbh
I mean, makes sense. Sure, the places mostly empty at that time, but there is still staff and random people who can recognize Bruce fucking Wayne. No reason imo for him to break character in that regard.
Plus he can tell Alfred it's just another blood stain
@@cisalzlman If After All This Time, Alfred Can't Tell The Difference Between Blood And Ketchup,
He Should Just Spare Bruce's And His Own Embarrassment And Retire. Perhaps To Sunny Italy.
Agreed. One of his skills is acting appropriately for how he is dressed. Not only as Batman and Bruce Wayne, but also when he does things like dressing as a homeless man for surveillance.
I don't know, Jokerized fries just feels like asking for an "Albert fillet-O-Fish"
Laughing Fish and Joker Chips
Alphredo with Shrimp
I always had a theory that thru all of Wayne tech's subsidiaries they own a toy factory that produces superhero toys.
I love that the sizes are "deluxe" and "deluxe oversized", that's a nice little nudge nudge
I feel like a modern Bat Burger would need the Bat Emblem seared into the meat or the bun. Jokerizing needs to be some mix of Ranch and BBQ sauce with Green Onions. Mostly because it's an insane combination of red, white, and green.
I like when Tom King brings back silly old things that DC had forgotten about. The Ace the Bathound issue was my favourite of his whole run.
Alfred is definitely a sauce guy, he probably has a pantry dedicated to obscure and special sauces he's picked up around the world
I freaking love the idea of Batburger and can't help but think Bruce would own the rights to it. Owning the legal rights to all things Batman to franchise out allows him to keep his cover as a billionaire business man just out to make money while also protecting the batman likeness from being used for more nefarious things since he'd be able to sue (and claim his lawyers would sue the real batman if they could catch him)
You Jokerize those fries 🍟 and record yourself while you do it!
"So this is a story all about how I'm definitely overthinking this"
Me every second of every day about everything
Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for a *Wonder Burger* to open up. And a Justice Burger would also be nice.
Wonder Taco will come first, it has a clear niche.
Honestly, I like the idea that Bruce Wayne eats a burger with a knife and fork, but Batman just eats a burger. Like it’s just another layer of separation. He couldn’t possibly be Batman. He uses a knife and fork.
Bat burger will always remind me of the amazing panel of Jason eating burgers on the batmobile with Batman. Still one of my favorite Jason and Bruce moments
There's a million things that I wouldn't have known existed if it weren't for this channel and BatBurger is one of them.
Could the distinction of Bruce eating a burger like a normal person verses with a knife and fork have anything to do with the fact that he used the knife and fork as Bruce and the other times he's in the Batman suit? I mean, if you' in a suit and tie, and probably have a board meeting or something later that day, maybe you're a bit more dainty about how you eat. Whereas if you're wearing your night time extrajudicial tactical gear, which regularly gets dirty and probably has seen its fair share of bloodstains (yours and others) what's a bit of ketchup or burger grease going to do to it...? 🤷♂
I'm pretty sure that the Laughing Fish was a Copywrite scam where Joker wanted to make millions off of his copywrite.
Also, I Myself regularly use a knife and fork to eat Burgers that are too big for a regular biting technique.
Jason jokerizing his fries is a wonderful thing. Also today's wig is amazing!
YES I want to see you make a batbuerger and jokerized fries please!!!!!
I desperately need someone to acknowledge that the drinks are cold, "choke" instead of coke and "spite" instead of sprite lol
This reminds me of "the Joker's Wild" episode of BTAS where a businessman makes a Joker themed casino.
I'm just surprised that the menu doesn't have a bat taco, which is just a renamed vampire taco (a vampire taco, for those who don't know, is a fried taco with cheese between the layers, giving it a bat-like shape).
Yes bat burger please! I want to know how to jokerize fries!
I don't think I'd eat at Bat Burger but if Jokerized Fries are anything like Cajun Fries I might like them
Joker would indeed "jokerize" the fries first chance he got. And likely some other villain would do so, using him as cover. It is such a bad idea.... And it not being used for such obvious plot points makes it worse.....
The guy in the Polka dot man costume makes it worth it
forever salty that we had a scene with all the batboys at bat burger together but tim wasn’t included. i know /why/ he wasnt but im still mad because it wouldve been cute to have them all there 😔
1:38 I like to think that is the actual polkadot man, and he just started going to bat burger after he fell into obscurity.
I love comic book exclusive restaurants and brands like Big Belly Burger, Soder Cola, and Taco Whiz.
Taco Whiz Is What You Do After Eating A Taco.
I did some searching and found some Chinese-language Hong Kong websites that mentioned the sauces were (1) steak flavour and (2) mustard potato!
Of all the things to make Sasha question reality, i didn't think it would be bat burgers 🤣
I think a superhero-themed food chain would absolutely exist... The villain menus? Not so much. At least until a great deal of time has passed since their last attack.
In defense of Bruce, I must say that I too use a fork and a knife to cut big burgers into smaller pieces xD
Hearing you say Jokerized fries my mind immediately went to The Batman Animated series episode where Joker attacks a casino that used his appearance. Joker would definitely attack people trying to make money off of him especially in the comic where he's a legit homicidal maniac. Though I don't know if they changed him again.
There was a Bat Burger promotion at McDonald's for Batman Forever. I had one and it was ok.
About 10 minutes in and I felt myself falling down the Batburger spiral right along with you.
I think he's doing it with a fork and knife out of protest of the whole thing. And I think this is a Penguin venture. This seems like the legit but skeezy type of business he'd come up with.
Cooking with Casually Comics
Yes, please recreate the Batburger
I think it'd probably be a bit too inside-baseball to have it at Batburger, but I hope Superburger in Metropolis has an entire side of the restaurant devoted to condiments... y'know, the _Sauce Wall!_
Welcome to Batburger, Home of The Bat burger. How can I beat your hunger?
( I couldn’t help myself
Did DC ever use that joke? If they didn't, is that a sign of lack of imagination at DC or of admirable self-restraint?
I remember in Batman TAS a guy tried to get The Joker to destroy his casino and collect the insurance money by making the casino Joker themed needless to say IT WORKED except for the part where the insurance company wouldn't cover his losses because someone (Bruce Wayne) left an anonymous tip with the insurance company about the scheme.
YES. Please make the food.
And when you are stressed from overthinking BatBurger, remember the words from song writer Joel Hodgson, "....if you're wondering how he eats, and breathes, and other science facts, repeat to yourself that it's just a show I really should just relax..."
Now, I know we're talking shows, and not books, but the song will help anyway.
Considering how often Poison Ivy gets triggered when someone damages a plant, you'd think she'd order a Batburger without the bun or dressings.
The idea that Ivy goes to a fast food restraint is incredibly out-of-character
Try the Jokerized Fries! You'll receive a smile with every bite!
Wait, that's not the seasoning...
Pair the Night-Wings with the KG-BLT! It'll blow your mind!
Enjoy the Two-Face sandwich! The only acid involved is from our teenage employees!
Joker would rob/kill every location, worker and customer he could.
I have to hope Metropolis' Suicide Slums has a scaled down half/half of Bat Burger & Planet Krypton.
I do.
I don’t even think Alfred would eat a burger with a fork and knife. 🤣🤣🤣 That seems forced.
Bruce eats the burger with cutlery because he's in a suit. It's less likely to get burger sauce or mayo on it if he uses a knife and fork. That's all there is to it. Ppl do this all the time, and it's not any more complicated than protecting their fancy clothes from getting messy. He could have gone with using a napkin or hanky as a bib, but this was probably a funnier visual.
11:46 that CK costume in the top right is suspiciously high quality… Quick, hide the Jokerised Fries Recipe!
Honestly I wish Bat Burger and SuperBabes (the Hooters like restaurant) from Batman and Harley Quinn were real things cause I'd legit love a Batman themed burger joint and a super hero themed Hooters esque restaurant not already existing doesn't make sense to me like how did nobody see the idea of Femboy Hooters and SuperBabes and not go "hmmmm I could probably do that and make a crap ton of money from it".
Leave it to Sasha to over-analyze the bat burger LOL, Excited for this video!
I would probably read "D.C. Presents: The Burgerverse". And Jokerize the fries.
I need you to make the cooking video. I cannot rest until I do, lol.
Franchising the joker reminds me of that one Batman TAS episode where a casino uses the jokers image as their gimmick. All basically to get the joker as a part of their complicated insurance scam.
The real question is, would Catman be able to tell it was a Bat Burger specifically if he smelled it on Batman's breath?
The thing is, I can imagine a restaurant like this would exist. And what makes it even funnier?
Ollie probably owns it
If you do film you jokerizing your fries and making the bat burger instead of Casually Comics you’d be Casually Cooking
4:54 I laughed way harder than I should have.
No clip of batman saying "I'll get drive-through."? Shenanigans.
Let me offer a reason as for why Bruce would eat the burger the sane way my father does. He want to eat all the components of the burger together without one slipping away and to avoid being messy, Yes this is the reason my father gave me.
I was wondering if this was the moment someone recommended an intervention for Sasha, but maybe we hold off for now . . . I want to see that cooking a Batburger video! Hahaha!
If you want to REALLY go down a fast food tunnel, there's a 70's issue of a Superman comic where he has to keep eating and goes to McDoogles (or something like that). They had a sign of over 1 billion burgers served, and the last panel shows they changed the sign to 2 billion! For months there was an argument in the letters column whether it was possible Superman ate over a billion burgers or not! Simpler times.
"Simpler times" today it would turn into an all out Twitter war ending in multiple people getting canceled for fat shaming the man of steel
McTavish!
@@isaactaylor08 Thanks!
You know what? What I am impressed is that in this era when superhero comic books have transcended the comics medium from both DC and Marvel (sure, DCEU not so hot as the MCU, but DC still has internationally acclaimed recent movies, animation, games, etc.), I am impressed something like this isn't a thing in the real world yet, or at least a DC and a Marvel fast food chain at least in Yank Land.
I want to say the sauces were a garlic aioli and and a steak sauce-dark soy mix for the bat burger. Sadly I have no links to give, but I remember it being that. Anecdotal and eye witness testimony being the absolute worst take it with a grain of salt though.
This always happens to me when I se in-universe figures or toys of heroes or supervillains, I can see a little kid playing with a figure of the Flash or Superman but it's very morbid having them playing with the toy of an active terrorist, bank robber, mercenary or something else, I was going crazy with one episode of Arrow when they showed that Oliver's son had a figure of Captain Cold who was a wanted criminal at the time. Even a Batman figure sounds weird sometimes when he is on that status of vigilante chased by the police
I'd love a fun cooking video, it'd be chill
