Batman is waist deep in a hole. He peers into the hole and exclaims, “There’s a problem with my Bat-Hole!”

“My bathole hurts, right around the entrance.”
“It’s gonna continue hurting until you stop calling it an entrance.”
you should use some Preparation H for that.
Is it just me or does this look more like a purposely made modern panel that’s been distressed?
Edit: seems this was posted to the subreddit of the same name a couple of years ago and decided that it was fake: https://old.reddit.com/r/outofcontextcomics/comments/1e28n8o/bathole/
Gemini thinks the speech bubble has been edited, but the panel is an original from “The bat-mite bandits” issue, note however that I don’t think the issue number matches up and I’m not sure where to find a copy of the comics online to verify, so it could just be an AI hallucination
This specific panel is from Batman #141, published by DC Comics in August 1961. The story in this issue is titled “The Bat-Mite Bandits.” In the unedited comic, the panel depicts Batman attempting to crawl out of a deep pit or trap, and his dialogue actually reads: “I can’t make it! My strength is gone!” The “bat-hole” line is completely a modern photoshop edit circulating online as a meme.
“The Bat-Mite Bandits” is from Detective Comics #289, not Batman #141, so at least some of that is hallucinated. The year is correct, but the month is not:
There was a Bat-Man #141 in Aug. 1961, but there’s no Bat-Mite Bandits story in it:

Yeah, I saw the issue number didn’t seem to match up, but gave up verifying it when I couldn’t find a source to view the actual comics from that era to find the original panel. Was hoping it would be something that the LLM would be able to magically pull from it’s training data or the web, but I’m guessing it was hampered by the same lack of a digital copy of comics from the era that stopped me from looking into it further.
It’s really annoying that AIs get such simple, easily verifiable things wrong and confidently state the incorrect info as fact. What a colossal waste of money and resources!
You mean AI slop?
I mean if it is fake it can be done without AI.
I tried to duckduckgo it, found nothing. Nothing within the ID tag, sometimes there’s the data of what prompt they used.
I’ve noticed DDG has gotten pretty shitty when it comes to search results lately. Guessing MS is working at cutting out the wild web (and ddg uses bing as its backend).
I appreciate your skepticism
slaps Bat Hole
You can fit so many Robins in this thing!
I’ll see m’self out
Robin: Holy chasm, Batman! I didn’t have any problem with it!
Hadn’t thought of Robin as top.
Batman is a power bottom, confirmed.
Batman gets a hemorrhoid
It’s never good news when your hole isn’t working properly.
Needs more bat-lube.
Relatable
The gape is all wrong
Me after last weekend:
Where is this from?
