Mad Presents Batman #1

In this absurdly satirical take on Gotham’s grim hero, Battyman finds himself chasing a newly mutated menace—Yack Nattier, transformed into the Jerker after a fall into toxic waste. As the Jerker unleashes a chaotic rampage through the city, laughing all the way, Battyman’s pursuit takes a surprisingly literal turn: when the Jerker plummets to his doom, Battyman follows—just to skip the sequel.

In this wild, satirical twist on Gotham’s underworld, Saltina’s fall from grace sparks a feline-fueled transformation into Scatwoman, setting off a chaotic clash with Buttman—both as her enemy and secret romantic interest. As the Penicillin’s schemes unravel and the city descends into absurdity, Buttman’s heroic facade cracks under the weight of a screenplay he never wanted to live.

In this delightfully absurd Mad parody, Buttman and Rubbin' face off against Frostbite while a mundane botanist named Prunella unexpectedly transforms into Poison I.V. Meanwhile, Neuman’s daughter Boobra arrives just in time to become Buttgirl, and the trio unites to take down the villains—though Buttman soon grows jealous, deciding Rubbin’ is hogging the spotlight and replacing him with Butt-head.

In a delightfully absurd twist on Gotham’s chaos, Batsman and Ribbin' race to stop a mysterious force erasing both heroes and villains across Gothic City—only to be rubbed out themselves by none other than Adam West, who’s had enough of being overlooked in the modern Batman era. A sharp, tongue-in-cheek satire of superhero legacy and pop culture memory, this five-page gem delivers laughs with a wink and a rubber.
