The 'I’m The Goddamn Batman' meme originates from the 2005 comic series All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, written by Frank Miller. In the second issue, Batman introduces himself to a young, traumatized Dick Grayson using this surprisingly aggressive and abrasive line. While intended to be gritty, the dialogue was widely mocked by fans for being unnecessarily edgy and out of character. This led to its transformation into an internet meme used to parody hyper-masculinity, self-importance, or simply to deliver a blunt, unanswerable response. It perfectly captures the 'Dark Age' of comics in a way that is now viewed as unintentionally hilarious.
