The Retcon Punchers spend an awful lot of time looking for ways to celebrate our nerdy obsessions. This means a lot of time sunk into scouring Etsy, Deviant Art, Think Geek or whatever. Sometimes we see things so great we just have to share them… and then clutch them fiercely to our collective chest. Throw it in The Vault.

I don’t have a baby. I don’t plan on having any in the near future. All my friends and siblings should consider themselves warned, though: once they start having babies, those babies are getting a couple of these. No better way to declare your superhero allegiance than advertising on your child, I always say. I mean, isn’t that the point of having children? To force your own idea and opinions on them as soon as possible, to turn them into little mini versions of yourself so they can hate it, and then grow up to do the same thing?

Is it just me, or is the idea of a Batman baby way more absurd than any of these other ones? I think it’s because the other ones are power-based, where Batman is essentially just hyper-competent. The thought of a baby being the world’s greatest detective that has also mastered every martial art is somehow harder to believe than a baby that can fly or something.
If you go to the site, and check out the alternate photos, you’ll see babies wearing the Batman onesie, and your suspicions will be adorably confirmed.
There is no way the Guardians would let a ring pick a baby.
But Bzzd, they were okay with that decision?
newborn baby Human v. mature sentient Fly-alien. They had enough problem with mature humans, let alone babies. I don’t think it’s a question of willpower.
The baby in question is not necessarily human. You’re making some assumptions.
What corps would be the most likely to enlist a human baby? It makes sense that a housecat could be chosen by a red ring, but what do we think represents “baby” more than anything? I could see orange for like a two-year-old, but I don’t know about a baby.
Rage for sure: I have seen some angry, angry babies.
I don’t know, there are some pretty strong-willed babies out there.
I need a Dr. Manhattan baby onsie to recreate my favorite scenes from Watchmen Babies: V for Vacation.
Would that be a blue onesie with the hydrogen symbol, or just a naked baby?
not just a naked baby, but a BLUE naked baby
All you need for that is some paint.
NOTE: Retcon Punch does NOT promote painting babies for cosplay purposes.
STOP MAKING ME USE MY IMAGINATION ON THIS ONE.
