10 Most Embarrassing Batman Moments
8. His First Meeting With Superman Was Awkward
If you were curious what was like when Superman and Batman met for the first time, the answer is... pretty awkward. One of the funniest versions of their first team-up takes place in Superman #76, and begins with Clark Kent going on holiday on a cruise ship.
By a complete coincidence, Bruce Wayne decides to take a vacation on the exact same cruise. By ANOTHER complete coincidence, the ship is so overcrowded, Bruce and Clark are forced to stay in the same room.
When a criminal outside the ship tries to steal a stack of diamonds, Clark and Bruce don their costumes and accidentally learn of each other's secret identity.
When this meeting was retold in Superman/Batman Annual #1 many years later, the story added in a few more details.
In this retelling, the duo didn't just share a room... they shared a bed! As the reader looks at Bruce Wayne hogging the bedsheet, refusing to share it with Clark Kent, you can't help but laugh.
As the pair try their best not to make eye contact, Clark can't help saying, "Well, this is awkward." Yes. Yes, it is.
