The 'Is He Stupid?' meme originated in the r/BatmanArkham subreddit, a community known for its descent into surreal, repetitive humor after years without a new game release. In early 2023, a user posted a picture of Batman asking why he didn't just call the Justice League for help, ending the prompt with the blunt question, 'Is he stupid?' The format quickly became a viral sensation, spreading to every corner of the internet to mock perceived plot holes, questionable character decisions, or simply to engage in 'aslume' style shitposting. Its versatility allows users to swap genders or pluralize the subject, making it a staple of modern internet irony and fan culture.
