DC Comics is a comic book franchise famous for superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, The Green Arrow, Plastic Man and Watchmen. These have been adapted in various media over the years, including TV series and films, and have been referenced on The Simpsons numerous times.

References to DC Comics in The Simpsons

Episodes

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
Bart Gets Yanked.png 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.
Radioactive Man TV.png 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!"
Adam West.png 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.
5 082 "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" Homer tries to think up a rhyme for the song Baby on Board and comes up with something, something, Burt Ward, then claims: "It practically writes itself.".
Jingle Bells ($pringfield).png 091 "$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.
250px 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.
Homer Silhouette.png 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.
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..."
Wonder Woman Mayored to the Mob.png 10 212 "Mayored to the Mob" Mark Hamill knocks over a cardboard cutout of Wonder Woman.
11 227 "Beyond Blunderdome" The Batmobile is seen in the Hollywood Auto Museum.
Wonder Woman George Foreman fire extinguisher.png 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.
The Flash.png 12 262 "New Kids on the Blecch" Comic Book Guy participates in the Springfield Marathon dressed as The Flash. After boasting, nobody can outrun The Flash, until he falls into an open manhole.
The Thing Batmobile.png 13 288 "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)? Comic Book Guy claims he is merely "courting" her. Later in the episode Lee jams a The Thing figure into Database's Batmobile toy.
ClownFace Apprehended.png 14 295 "Large Marge" Bart and Milhouse watch an episode of Batman where Krusty plays the part of the guest villain, ClownFace.
Batman and Rhoda.pngSuperman vs. Patty Hearst.png 15 314 "Treehouse of Horror XIV" Batman and Rhoda and Superman vs. Patty Hearst comics are seen.
FABF01.png 319 "Today I Am a Clown" In the couch gag, the Simpson family are in the Bat Cave dressed in Batman costumes. Homer is Batman, Marge, Lisa and Maggie seem to be Batgirl and Bart is Robin.
Vegetables scene transition.png 16 353 "A Star Is Torn" When the scene changes to the family eating vegetables, the transition is a parody of the transitions from the TV show Batman.
Batman Begins.png 18 379 "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer" When Bart decided to start going into the bootleg DVD business, he showed off a copy of Batman Begins.
Action Comics Superman Kryptonite.png 381 "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em" Comic Book Guy says that Bart found Skinner's Kryptonite. Comic Book Guy then explains that it's Superman's greatest weakness.
Aquaman and Superman.png 395 "Homerazzi" Bart was seen reading Aquaman and Superman.
19 404 "I Don't Wanna Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" When Homer waited for the Student of the Millennium Award to start he started to write a Superman novel.
Death of Superman.pngDeath of Aquaman.pngWatchmen Babies in V for Vacation.png 407 "Husbands and Knives" When looking through comics at the Android's Dungeon, Bart came across Death of Superman and Death of Aquaman. The first comic book is a real-life Superman title. As Comic Book Guy discovers there's another comics store across the street he exclaims: "This cannot be. It's as if Superman would move to Gotham City". Martin Prince, Jr. 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. Milhouse shows Alan Moore a copy of Watchmen Babies in V for Vacation - a juvenile spin-off of Watchmen and V for Vendetta - and asks him to sign it, which outrages him, in reference to his real-life dissatisfaction about media adaptations of his own work. Later when Art Spiegelman, Daniel Clowes and Alan Moore fight onomatopeia flash at the screen, just like in the Batman TV series.
Wonder Woman.png A cardboard cutout of Wonder Woman is the inspiration for Marge to open up Shapes because of Wonder Woman's figure.
No Loan Again, Naturally Wonder Woman costume.png 20 432 "No Loan Again, Naturally" When Marge tells Homer to invite Ned Flanders to the party, Homer says yes, but only if he can wear the costume he provides, which is that of Wonder Woman.
21 442 "Homer the Whopper" Everyman used an issue of Captain America to have the patriotism to want to save the President's life and an issue of Wonder Woman to give him the boobs to distract the guards.
Eartha Kitt.png 451 "Once Upon a Time in Springfield" Krusty was once married to Eartha Kitt (who voices herself in this episode) for six hours, but slept through five hours of them, which led Kitt to proclaim it a "cat-astrophe", in reference to the fact that she played Catwoman in the original TV series.
The Bob Next Door Chalkboard Gag.png 463 "The Bob Next Door" Bart once wrote as his chalkboard gag "Batman is nothing without his utility belt".
Batmobile.png 23 494 "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution" Comic Book Guy bought the Batmobile from the Museum of TV and Television.
24 523 "Black-Eyed, Please" After giving Homer a black eye, Ned Flanders asks Homer is he can pray for him. Homer tells him it's okay, as long as he prays to Superman. Ned refuses and Homer starts the prayer himself.

Comic Book Guy room.png 654 "101 Mitigations" Comic Book Guy said that he was not budging, like the door of Superman's Fortress of Solitude when The Beatles tried to visit. Later, in his room, we see a Radioactive Man vs. Muhammad Ali comic book on the foreground, which references the real-life comic book Superman vs. Muhammad Ali.
Zorbot owner.png The owner of Zorbot the Geek has a Wonder Woman logo shirt.
Homer says that he and Comic Book Guy can still be friends, like when Superman teamed up with Lex Luthor. Comic Book Guy then said that was an imaginary story written by Harlan Ellison because he wanted to get fired.

Little Women comic book.pngA Farewell to Arms Comic book.png
The Scarlet Letter comic book.png 		In his reviews of comic book adaptations of works of classic literature, Comic Book Guy makes multiple references to the DC universe:

Regarding the adaptation 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.
