8. Fairy Batman
Well, now let’s talk about the history of Batman wearing pink. I love my job so much it should be illegal.
So, the history of pink Batman dates back to a story called The Rainbow Batman in Detective Comics #241. In the story, Robin (Dick Grayson) comes to harm as he saves a life, seriously hurting his arm in the process. When he decides to start tracking down the robbers he let escape, Batman starts wearing various differently colored outfits – green, blue, and “red” – which is clearly pink, no matter how many times anyone calls it lightish red.
Robin finds the crooks, and Batman goes back to his regular outfit, revealing that he only did it so that everyone would focus on him and no one would notice that Robin had an injured arm, just like Dick Grayson. This is dumb and insane in so many ways that I don’t have time to go into it.
The story has been homaged in an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, as well as in a DC Direct action figure set and a Pop Vinyl.
