Mad Batman Spectacular #[nn]

In a gloriously absurd twist, fugitive criminal Yack Nattier plunges into a vat of toxic waste, emerging as the unhinged Jerker—armed with a penchant for mayhem and a laugh that echoes through Gotham’s streets. As the Jerker’s rampage reaches its peak, Battyman gives chase, not out of duty, but to ensure they both skip the sequel.

In this delightfully absurd 1997 satire, Buttman finds himself tangled in a bizarre web of romance and betrayal when Saltina, once his ally, transforms into the feline-fueled Scatwoman after a dramatic fall—only to attack him with claws and passion. As the Penicillin’s schemes unravel and Gotham’s chaos escalates, Buttman must confront not just his nemesis, but the unsettling truth behind the story itself, all while navigating a relationship that defies logic and decency.

In a Gotham City under siege by an unseen force erasing both heroes and villains alike, Batsman and Ribbin' race to uncover the culprit—only to be erased themselves by none other than Adam West, who’s had enough of being overlooked in favor of newer, flashier Bat-versions. A delightfully absurd satire of superhero legacy and fandom, this five-page gem skewers nostalgia with a single, sharp eraser.
