Pete Holmes Knows Batman Comedy Is a “Violation” and That’s The Point | IGN Arcade
Many actors have portrayed the Caped Crusader, but none have like comedian and You Made It Weird host Pete Holmes. The Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor) Badman shorts, created by and starring Holmes as the absolute dimmest Dark Knight in history, were an early example of how high the bar could be for internet sketch comedy. Pete puts those chops to work, sharing his insight into how to do Batman satire right... while playing Batman: Arkham Knight as Badman. Pete's got an affinity for sneaky guys in dark uniforms, which he puts on full display marking and merking bad guys in Splinter Cell: Conviction while thoughtfully considering whether or not comedians are responsible for hecklers in the first place. Pete brings things home with a rousing round of Pong, as he reflects on how a life he once compared to Frodo's struggles in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers has flourished into something more akin to Aragorn's successes in The Return of the King.
