Look, there are a lot of bad comics out there in the world. A LOT. But some are so bad that the comic book industry as a whole seems to have willfully forgotten they existed. True, there are some bad comics we ALL know about, but those are no fun to discuss. Like, come on, do you REALLY want to see me trash One More Day for the hundredth time? Or Youngblood? Or the Clone Saga? Ok, maybe some of you do, but that's not fun for me, so instead I present you with the trash that is so misery inducing, we all collectively agreed that it never happened. Some of these stories you may remember, but I guarantee you haven't thought about them in a long, long while.

10. Batman: Fortunate Son
This is the story about how much Batman hates rock and roll music.
If you didn’t know that existed or was a thing, you are welcome. The story starts when Kurt Cobain-esque rock star Izaak Crowe (What? You say this came out in the late nineties? Why, I had no idea!) starts hallucinating Elvis and disappears into a psychotic breakdown. As Batman and Robin try to find him, we find out that Batman hates Rock n' Roll like he's a parent in a "˜50s PSA.
Why? Oh, because the night his parents were killed, Thomas Wayne yelled at young Bruce for listening to that darn devil music, and I guess Bats seriously internalized that, somehow.
Also, Arkham has a ward specifically for people who think they're Elvis. Huh. And we learn that Two-Face is an ABBA fan. So he's cool with me. But while I could talk about this comic book literally all day, I'll close on the most famous quote from it. When asked about his opinions, Batman responds: "Punk is nothing but death, and crime, and the rage of a beast."
Not a Clash fan, I take it?
