AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Batman Slapping Robin' meme, also known as 'My Parents Are Dead,' features Batman, a DC Comics superhero, slapping his sidekick Robin during a conversation. This image derives from a single-panel comic strip from a 1965 comic book. The meme is widely recognized for its customizable speech bubbles which are typically edited to include humorous dialogues and scenarios.
OriginWho did it first?
This meme springs from a specific comic panel in the 1965 issue of 'World’s Finest #153.' The narrative revolves around an alternate reality where Batman believes Superboy and Superman are to blame for his father's death. The first notable appearance of this panel as a meme occurred on June 10th, 2008, when someone posted a parody on the image-sharing website SFWChan. In this variation, Robin innocently queries about what Batman received from his parents for Christmas, prompting Batman to reply with a slap and the exclamation, 'My parents are dead!'[1]
