Bat-Monk

Sometimes you pass from obsessive to anal to something else entirely:

Next...Batman obsessively checking to make sure he locked the batmobileThe questions this raises:
  • Batman had to "insist" on making the table level? What, was one of the JLA planning on making it not level? Why? This was an issue for some reason?

  • Superman says that Batman "already knows" the table is "perfectly level." I can just see him taking out his Bat-laser-level before every Justice League meeting, double checking that no nefarious no-goodnick has put the table one micron out of balance.

  • Really, Batman, what difference would it make if the table weren't perfectly level? JLA headquarters are destroyed every 3 months, anyway...
Maybe it shouldn't be Batman R.I.P...it should be Batman OCD.

Batman tells us too much about his mental state in JLA 80-Page Giant #3, 2000. And if you enjoyed laughing at Batman's hangups, try watching Monk on USA...where it's OK to laugh at mental disease!!
