10 Batman Plot-Holes Everyone Just Accepts

Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns are two of the most definitive versions of the character. Year One features a young Bruce Wayne in his first year of crime-fighting, while Returns sees Bruce in his twilight years, more jaded but still ultimately a hero.

All-Star Batman & Robin was intended to fill the gap between these two seminal stories, delivering a Batman who is neither a rookie nor a veteran, but at the prime of his crime-fighting. Instead, it delivered a psychotic, practically villainous Batman who did not resemble the Year One or Returns incarnations in the slightest.
