10 Bizarre Batman Comics Too Weird To Be Real

7. Zur-En-Arrh

Zur-En-Arrh. A phrase which is actually Bruce mishearing the last words of his father (which were "The sad thing is they'd probably throw someone like Zorro in Arkham").

Even if you haven't read the issue you have probably seen the suit, especially since it's been in The Brave and the Bold (did I mention that show already?) and was a DLC skin in Batman: Arkham Knight.

In the issue, we have Batman on drugs, hallucinating and seeing Bat-Mite, and torturing his opponents. It is also implied that he killed some of them. So Zur-En-Arrh is basically Jason Todd but crazy (which is still kinda Jason Todd anyways, but still).

While that is one version of Zur-En-Arrh, there is another back from Batman's original run. Now I won't go into details here, but it is equally as weird if not more so.

Even if it is a weird arc it arguably has one of the greatest costumes ever created in any comic book.
