References to DC Comics in The Simpsons[edit]

Episodes[edit]

Picture	Season	Episode number	Episode name	Reference
	1	01	"Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"	During the Christmas program at Springfield Elementary School, Bart's class sings "Jingle Bells". When it comes time for the chorus, Bart pulls a prank and loudly sings the "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" parody lyrics and is swiftly yanked off of the stage by Principal Skinner.
	2	021	"Bart the Daredevil"	When Bart tried to become a daredevil, Dr. Hibbert showed him a boy that broke his leg when he tried to fly like Superman.
	030	"Old Money"	Batman's archenemy the Joker is seen in line waiting to explain why he deserves Bea Simmons' money.
	034	"Three Men and a Comic Book"	A utility belt was in the lost and found. Lisa bought a Super Lois comic book, while Bart dresses up as Bartman, an obvious take on Batman. After the children had visited a comic expo, Homer said "Give me Wonder Woman" and made an erotic growl after he said that he never knew what Superman saw in Lois Lane. In the same episode Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy are introduced, both parodies of Batman and Robin.
	3	056	"Black Widower"	When The Simpsons decide to rescue Selma Bouvier from being murdered by Sideshow Bob Homer yells: "To the Simpsons mobile!", in reference to the phrase: "To the Bat mobile!" This is followed by a montage parodying the Batmobile montage from the 1960s Batman show.
	4	068	"Mr. Plow"	Adam West, the actor of Batman in the 1960s Batman TV series, is guest star. Homer introduces him to Bart and Lisa as "Batman", but they claim it's not him. This prompts West to start bickering how they probably only know Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer (who played Batman and Catwoman in Tim Burton's film versions). He claims that Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt are the only real Catwoman and tries to show off by doing the Batdance. This creeps out Homer too and he leads his children away. Later in the episode West hired both Mr. Plow and Plow King, but since the Plow King was first West took his services instead. With the snow on his driveaway out of the way West quickly gets in his car while the music from the Batman TV series plays, to mimick similar scenes whenever Batman jumped into his Batmobile. Here, however, West's car just slowly chugs away at not-all-that-spectacular speed. As he drives away Barney yells: "Your secret is safe with me, Superman!"
	074	"Marge vs. the Monorail"	When Lyle Lanley promotes the Monorail during a visit to Lisa's class a kid asks him if the Springfield Monorail could outrun The Flash, which Lanley confirms. Then, out of nowhere, another kid wonders whether Superman could outrun The Flash, which baffles Lanley, since it has nothing to do with his monorail project. So he just confirms it to move on to another question. Later in the same episode, after Marge claims that she has found a scientist, Homer asks if that scientist is Batman.
	076	"Last Exit to Springfield"	Mr. Burns and Smithers slide down firepoles into their basement, much asBatman and Robin do in each story in the 1960s TV series. This is accompanied by a parody of the show's theme song.
	5	091	"$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)"	In revenge for being kicked out of Mr. Burns' Casino, Bart tricks Robert Goulet (who had been booked into Burns' casino) into coming to his treehouse instead. Goulet performs a jazz version of "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells".
	6	105	"Lisa's Rival"	When the two beekeepers decide to find out why all their bees have left, one of them yells: "To the bee mobile!", whereupon his colleague asks: "You mean: your Chevy?" and he mutters: "Yes." This is again a reference to the phrase: "To the Bat mobile!" Hank Azaria, who voiced the beekeeper, deliberately patterned his speech pattern after Adam West.
	120	"Homer vs. Patty and Selma"	When Bart is uncomfortable wearing tights, his ballet instructor points out that Batman is willing to wear tights.
	124	"The PTA Disbands"	Bart tells Principal Skinner that Edna Krabappel claimed he would fold "faster than Superman on laundry day."
	7	130	"Radioactive Man"	One of the comic titles Bart and Millhouse pass through in Comic Book Guy's store is titled Batchick, in reference to Batgirl and Batwoman. The film makers want the Radioactive Man film to be different from the campy 1970s version, which is a reference to the fact that the makers of Batman (1989) also wanted the film to be darker in tone than the 1960s Batman TV series. The 1970s Radioactive Man version is a parody of the TV series Batman, complete with tilted camera shots, onomatopeia appearing on the screen during fight scenes, a cartoonishly portrayed villain (The Scout Master) and Radioactive Man doing a dance similar to the Batdance.
	131	"Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily"	After Principal Skinner calls the Child Welfare Board, a transition appears which parodies the transitions of the 1960s Batman series. The shot of Child Welfare van exiting the garage with flames coming from the exhaust is copying the frequently reused footage of the Batmobile exiting the Batcave.
	143	"Bart the Fink"	When Bart opens a checking account, the banker claims that filling out the forms will be more exciting than a weekend with Batman.
	8	162	"El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer"	When Bart and Lisa see Homer's silhouette projected into the sky because he is standing in front of the lantern of the lighthouse, Bart wonders whether it's Homer and Lisa says, "Either that, or Batman's really let himself go", referencing the Bat-Signal.
	166	"Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious"	When Shary Bobbins leaves, Barney Gumble mistakes her for Superman.
	9	181	"Lisa's Sax"	Bart sings a playground rhyme named "Buttman" to the tune of the theme song from the TV show Batman.
	182	"Treehouse of Horror VIII"	Right before the atomic attack destroys Springfield Comic Book Guy is reading an Aquaman comic book: "But Aquaman, you cannot marry a woman without gills. You're from two different worlds." As he notices the bomb heading towards him he mutters: "Ow, I've wasted my life..."
	187	"Realty Bites"	As Bart and Lisa pretend to be homebuyers for Marge, Bart introduces himself as Superman.
	191	"The Joy of Sect"	Homer sings variations of the 1960s Batman theme song throughout the episode. The Movementarians use a version of the theme song replacing Batman's name with "leader" to picque Homer's interest.

	10	212	"Mayored to the Mob"	Mark Hamill knocks over a cardboard cutout of Wonder Woman.

	228	"Brother's Little Helper"	When Bart steals an army tank, Comic Book Guy lists Green Lantern as one of the people who can make things right. Otto asks if Superman could do so, which Comic Book Guy denies.
	230	"Treehouse of Horror X"	During the "Stretch Boy and Clobber Girl" segment, a transition between superhero scenes references the transitions from the 1960s Batman TV series.
	237	"Faith Off"	Homer draws a picture of Superman fighting Godzilla.
	239	"Saddlesore Galactica"	The fire extinguisher Marge bought at the State Fair was endorsed by both Lynda Carter (who is dressed as Wonder Woman) and George Foreman.
	12	262	"New Kids on the Blecch"	Comic Book Guy participates in the Springfield Marathon dressed as The Flash. After boasting that nobody can outrun The Flash, he falls into an open manhole.
	13	280	"The Bart Wants What It Wants"	After Marge gives Wolfgang Puck the idea to put M&M's in Rice Krispies treats, he declares, "To the Puckmobile!" in another parody of Adam West's Batman. The music from the 60s series plays over a parody of the series' transition effect.
	288	"I Am Furious (Yellow)"	Stan Lee asks Comic Book Guy whether he is the guy "who was stalking Lynda Carter (Lynda Carter played Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV series)?

Martin Prince then points out this comic book actually exists, but Comic Book Guy replies it was just a dream sequence which never happened. When Bart points out that "none of these things ever really happened" Comic Book Guy tells him to leave his store. When Lisa talks with Daniel Clowes how much she liked Ghost World he tells her that he would rather draw Batman comics and starts talking about his utility belt, much to Lisa's disinterest.

	Homer Simpson's Little Book of Laziness	In his list of types of lazy people, Homer identifies Comic Book Guy as "The Procrastinator", citing him as saying, "I'll get to the inventory, right after I blog my top twenty-five reasons why Batman cannot possibly be gay."
	In his reviews of comic book adaptations of works of classic literature, Comic Book Guy makes multiple references to the DC universe: Regarding the Little Women of Little Women, CBG says he envisions a Team-Up issue with the Little Men, including the Atom and Doll Man. The cover of the adaptation of A Farewell to Arms shows the main character having lost his arms, which doesn't happen in the novel. CBG justifies the depiction as artistic license, and as a supporting example cites a storyline where Superman is depicted murdering Lois Lane in outer space. In his review of the adaptation of The Scarlet Letter, CBG says, "Hester Prynne, you have replaced Power Girl in my dreams!" Also, the cover shows Hester Prynne opening the front of her dress to reveal the red "A" on her underclothes, in a pose similar to Clark Kent changing to Superman. Superman
	Lisa Simpson's Guide to Geek Chic	Batman (Bt), Barbara Gordon (Bg), the Batmobile (Bm), Lois Lane (Ll) and Wonder Woman (Ww) are all elements in Lisa's Table of Geeky Delights.
	Bartman: The Hero's Handbook	There are many references to DC Comics and characters in the book: There are many Batman parodies throughout the book. In Designing the Right Costume for You! there is a character dressed like Batman with a Captain America-style shield and Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. The Bartmobile is a parody of the Batmobile. Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman are seen in "Market Your Brand the Bartman Way!". In "A Rogues' Gallery of Lesser-Known Villains": The Giggler's appearance is based on Cesar Romero's portrayal of The Joker in the 1960s Batman TV series. In "The Care and Feeding of Your Super Pet", some of the names include Krypto and Ace. In "Captain Fantastic's Incredible Superhero Supply Sanctuary": The Invisible Plane is a vehicle that Wonder Woman owns and The Moth R Box is a parody of the Mother Box. In "Supervillain Mash-Ups I'd Like to See", characters include Mister Mxyzptlk, The Joker, Gorilla Grodd, Ra's al Ghul, Deadshot, Darkseid, and Lex Luthor. The Bartman Utility Belt is a parody of Batman's Utility Belt.
