As one of the most famous superheroes ever created, there have been plenty of parodies of Batman over the years. Plenty of franchises have taken shots at the concept, riffing on different elements of the character from different perspectives. Notably, though, Batman is so broad that one show has parodied the character in surprisingly different ways.In two separate episodes, The Simpsons directly parodied Batman by turning one of their major characters into a riff on the Caped Crusader. Bart got his chance in a non-canon Season 18 episode that largely mocked the Tim Burton Batman, while Mr. Burns became a bat-themed superhero in Season 24 to surprisingly effective results. Both are fun turns for the character, but only one of them showcased the positive impact Batman can have on the world.Season 18’s “Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Three Times” — directed by Michael Polcino and written by Joel H. Cohen — is one of The Simpsons’ anthology episodes. Connected via a framing device of Homer ruining a family vacation so he can attack the Rich Texan for cutting him off in traffic, each of the three shorts focuses on someone trying to get revenge for slights against them and their loved ones. While Homer’s is a direct riff on The Count of Monte Cristo and Lisa’s casts Milhouse in a sci-fi parable, Bart’s story is a clear parody of Batman.RELATED: The Simpsons Once Gave Lisa Her Own Nelson Muntz – But Why Didn’t She Stick Around?RELATED: Does The Simpsons or Futurama Have the Better Cartoon Mafia?
