Poll: Who Is The Best Alternate Batman?
If there's one thing I think we can all agree on, it's that there just isn't enough Batman to go around, and we clearly need a few dozen alternate universe versions of him just to keep up with demand. Unfortunately, that's where the agreement ends. Everyone has their own favorite, whether it's Grumpy Future Batman, Even Grumpier Future Batman, Sassy Teen Dance Party Future Batman, Frankenstein Batman, or even what is objectively the best choice, the Batman of 1966.
But now, the time has come to settle this hash once and for all, so once again, we turn it over to the time-honored tradition of Bat-Democracy. Check out the options and vote for your favorite Alternate Universe Batman!

The 1966 Batman television show was one of the most successful and influential adaptations of comic books to mass media of all time. Over the course of three seasons and 120 episodes, the series became a cultural force with its unique combination of tongue-in-cheek humor, thrilling superhero adventure and celebrity guest stars, and shaped the way the public would view the Caped Crusader for the next five decades.

Bizarro Ruins Everything In ‘LEGO Justice League vs. Bizarro League’ Preview Clip
Those of you who spend all your time watching superhero cartoons made for tiny babies (and by that I mean me) may have noticed that there was a half-hour special late last year called LEGO Justice League: Batman Beleagured. If you missed it, it was a very blocky origin story for how Batman joined the Justice League, and it was actually pretty great -- especially the twist ending.
Now, it seems that they're following it up with a second special, and this time, it's about Bizarro arriving in Metropolis and doing... well, exactly what Bizarro does every time he shows up, which is screw things up on a catastrophic level and terrify the populace. And apparently, that's just the tip of a mixed-up iceberg that's going to involve an entire Bizarro League.

The ‘Lego Batman’ Movie Will Ask ‘Can Batman Be Happy?’
I'm going to be real with you, folks: even though we're looking down the barrel of 38 superhero movies over the next few years, the one that I'm looking forward to the most is easily Lego Batman, starring Will Arnett as the Caped and Blocky Crusader. It's been something I've been looking for ever since it was announced, but now, I've got an even bigger reason to want to see it, because we finally have a detail about the plot.
According to a red carpet interview with Arnett, along with cowriters and directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the 2017 Batman movie will focus on answering one question: Can Batman be happy?
