Being Batman is serious business.

When it comes to Dark Knight canon, anything goes. After 75 years of fighting crime, ol' Bruce Wayne has been through pretty much everything a human being can possibly go through, sadness-wise. But don't think every part of his character has been explored. These hilarious webcomic artists are here to show you that there's more to Batman than meets the eye.

"It’s probably not that obvious when you look at my work," Christian Henry, creator of Anyone for Rhubarb tells Mashable. "But I would say superheroes like Batman have made up the foundation for how I perceive, understand and go about making comics."

For humor writers and illustrators like Henry, who grew up consuming Batman, making fun of him makes for great material.

"You've got this character who can be super serious," says Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comics. "But in that same character's history he's gone out in rainbow costumes, been turned two-dimensional and tried to spank Bat-Mite. I love that all these contradictions fit inside the same character."

Take a look through these hilarious Batman-themed webcomics and learn even more about the caped crusader.
