10 Dumbest Batman Moments You Won't Believe
7. Zebra Batman And Magnets - Detective Comics #275
Batman has worn some strange versions of his costume before, but the fact that Zebra Batman has spawned a Lego Minifigure, a Mattel figurine, and three different Funko figurines shows the staying power of some silly stories. In Detective Comics #275 Batman is transformed into Zebra Batman.
While Batman's costume is indeed inspired by actual bats, his nemesis Zebra Man looks like a zebra because of "force lines" which can propel objects away from the villain.
When Batman is infused with lines of force also, things get super silly. A tree is launched from the ground because it is too near Batman's uncontrollable force; when Robin brings over a plate of food, it is flung away from a sad Batman who can't even eat. It is Batman's advanced knowledge of how magnets work that allow him to foil Zebra Man and go back to his normal crime fighting self.
