When Bart decided to start selling bootleg DVDs, he showed a copy of Batman Begins, with Batman on the cover.[3]

People were seen dressed as Batman at Comicalooza.[4]

Ralph went to The Android's Dungeon to buy a Batman comic. When Comic Book Guy asked what one he wanted, Ralph said he wanted the one where Batman eats lasagna. Comic Book Guy then pointed out that he meant Garfield, who is a cat, not a bat.[5]

Krusty the Clown was dressed as Batman, with Mr. Teeny dressed as Robin at the masquerade ball.[6]

A picture of Batman was seen on an old TV Guide cover.[7]
