10 Most Inappropriate Batman Storylines

10. Mocking The Blind - Operation: Blindfold!

Batman beating up the blind? Yeah, that's certainly something when it comes to concepts for the Bat-tale you want to tell.

Featured in 1968's Batman #204 and #205, that was exactly what readers were 'treated' to in a two-part story titled Operation: Blindfold! and Blind As a... Bat? from writer Frank Robbins.

While Stan Lee and Bill Everett had created blind superhero Daredevil for Marvel Comics four years prior, DC opted to use the blind as the villains of their '68 Bat-tale. Here, the Schemer brought in a group of nefarious sorts and had them pretend to be part of the U.S. Sightless Society in order to hopefully hijack a truckload of gold.

In amongst this, several innocent, genuinely blind citizens end up murdered, Batman and Robin are locked up in jail after Jim Gordon suspects them of not being the real Dynamic Duo, and Schemer and his goons cause utter chaos. Once the rogues are finally brought to justice, it's revealed they aren't actually blind, and that this was all merely an act.

Adding further to the bad taste element of this questionable two-issue tale, is the final page that sees Batman, Robin and Gordon donning glasses and making 'blind jokes'.
