Batman and the Orange Hand
Batman and the Orange Hand
Never has there ever been an item so fitting to what this website is about, it’s part Mall Appearance, part Fashion Mockery with a hint of Saturday morning thrown in, did I mention it’s also a touch creepy? You’ll honestly think I made this up.
After the jump read the Orange Hand original story “Who’s out to Murder Batman?”
Click on any image to enlarge nothing odd about Batman appearing in a boy’s bedroom and promising to take him shopping, nope, nope, nope….
So basically Batman has this kid gambling and hanging around criminals, criminals so dumb that a change of sweater (or jumper to our UK friends) makes them think it’s a different kid?
Did Batman really need help with this gang?
Did Frank Miller write this?
Batman
I find this a really tenuous way to connect any sort of Super heroics to trying on freaking pants with your mom all Saturday afternoon.
According to this link Orange Hand stores only ran briefly in the early 1970s.
