Batcest is the crack shipping nickname between Batman/Bruce Wayne and his protegee Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, made infamous in the controversial DC animated film "Batman: The Killing Joke". It’s creepy because of their age difference. It’s creepy because of how Batgirl looks up to him. And it’s creepy because he’s supposed to be her mentor. Many fans felt this was antithetical to the father-daughter relationship the characters shared and... just plain gross, since Barbara is also Batman’s friend Commissioner Gordon’s daughter.

Fan !: "Of course! That's just what we need. More 'Batcest'!

Within the batman fandom, used to describe romantic or sexual ship art, fanfic, or cosplay that pairs one or more members of the Wayne family together, adopted or biological. (Bruce Wayne, Cassandra Cain, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Damian Wayne, Tim Drake). The pairings can refer to Bruce with a child of his, or the siblings with each other.

Heavily controversial and problematic for multiple reasons; delegitimizing adopted relationships, posing characters as sexual predators or pedophiles, sexualization of children, and obviously the incest.

A very shitty ship that includes a pedophile sexual relation between Gerard Way (vocalist from MCR) and his daughter, Bandit.
Please educate yourself before you would ship this shit.

Yes, Gerard loves his daughter but don't attempt to write/read some shitty fanfic that includes him assaulting his daughter, he's a married happy father- just don't come up with this and ruin Bandit's childhood.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
