Because Batman always thought the dress was black and blue.
1. Batman is better at punching things than Buzzfeed.
2. Batman stories tend to have more of a focus on Batman than Buzzfeed.
3. Batman likes to chill with his homiez. Buzzfeed can’t, it’s just a website.
4. Batman actually cares about things, and doesn’t reappropriate other website’s content just to drive traffic to his website.
5. Batman’s car is WAY cooler than Buzzfeed’s. Do Buzzfeed even HAVE a car?!?
6. When Batman disguises Batgirl as Robin, at least both Batgirl and Robin are his intellectual property in the first place, he’s not stealing other people’s work and taking credit.
7. Batman can knock down this guy in the top left without even coming NEAR him, he’s THAT good.
8. Only 90s kids will get how this makes Batman awesome.
9. Only 60s kids will get how this makes Batman awesome.
10. Batman can fall eternally and infinitely and not even care.
11. Batman is written for children of all ages, as opposed to Buzzfeed, which often appears to have been written by a kid.
12. As evidenced in the 1960s TV series or the Brave and the Bold cartoon, Batman is occasionally funny.
13. Sometimes Batman has nunchuck lightsabers.
14. Batman won’t show up multiple times in your Facebook feed this morning and tell you you won’t believe things if you click on things.
15. Batman can sneak up on the fastest man alive and take his snack.
16. Batman will never outstay his welcome in your life.
17. Batman is a real man who sometimes allows himself to have all the feels.
18. Batman respects you as a person, and not just as a number to drive up advertising sales.
19. Let’s be real here. Buzzfeed is a terrible website. Their content is poorly sourced from other, often much better, websites and watered down for an audience with a poor attention span. Many of their articles barely qualify as writing, with loosely connected sentences that are an excuse to show off a bunch of gifs taken from Tumblr. If you need evidence, check out Buzzfeed Articles Without The Gifs. Honestly, it was somewhat painful putting this list together, and contributing to the eternal endless garbage pile of listicles, knowing that they are indicative of a culture obsessed with consuming content in the laziest way possible, and that this will still get less clicks than an article that is based around a picture of Matthew Broderick. It’s shameful.
20. Sometimes Batman likes to go surfing.
David B Cooper has a Twitter and a Facebook and you won’t believe what happened next!

Have to give props to Buzzfeed recently though. They’ve really proven themselves to be a lot more than just a listicle site and have been doing some well researched longform pieces.
I will give them THREE PROPS, and NO MORE.
What the hell is lightsaber nunchuck Batman from?
“Batman of Shanghai”, a short from the DC Nation block.

Question for you Coop, have you ever seen the Gotham Knight Anthology series? If so, your thoughts?
The 2008 straight to DVD Gotham Knight? It’s okay. It’s like most anthologies – there are good parts and bad parts. It’s interesting to see the characters designed in a different style (or, rather, styles, with the different studios and all.)
I’d say it’s definitely unique, and therefore worth a watch, but there are better DC animated movies.
The shit-quality gifs really give it a refined quality
I never knew I wanted that GIF of the 60’s animated Batman laughing with Robin and Arrow but apparently I do.
This article is accurate.
That was a real rollercoaster of emotions at the end there.
Thanks for all these great Batman gifs, and yes, Batman is better than Buzzfeed. Although, a lot of things are better than Buzzfeed.
Thank you for this article. I hate Buzzfeed as much as Batman hates crime.
How did I miss this article? Well done Cooper. I don’t get why people go to Buzzfeed in the first place. I had them on my newsfeed for about a week before I got rid of them. So, fucking, much, garbage.
