Since 2019, Eric Kripke’sThe Boyshave been taking jabs at Marvel and DC. The show has featured a sociopath, psychotic version of Superman in Antony Starr’s Homelander, and an unhinged version of Captain America with Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy, who was America’s Son.
However, the R-rated show is not stopping anytime soon because, in the 5th episode of Season 4, titledBeware the Jabberwock, My Son,Kripke takes a jab at Robert Pattinson’sThe Batman.
During the Vought Expo scene, where the Supes were talking about their upcoming film and TV Series, Derek Wilson’s Tek Knight came on the stage, where he decided to satirize DC by targetting Batman and using Nirvana as the point of reference to ridicule the character.

Eric Kripke’sThe Boyshas loved to ridicule Marvel and DC since the commencement of the series. However, Season 4, Episode 5,Beware the Jabberwock, My Son,represented a punch to the gut of one of DC’s favorite superheroes, The Caped Crusader.
While Hughie Campbell was away taking care of his superpowered father, The Seven was attending Vought’s V52 Expo, where they revealed the slate of upcoming projects to get fans excited for what’s to come next.

After A-Train announced his project with Will Ferrell, Derek Wilson’s Robert Vernon, also known as Tek Knight, went on stage and announced his upcoming film. He said viaLooper,
It’s been a whole year since my last movie, so I’d say we’re due for a reboot!
The“reboot”is one of the many jabs that are yet to come, as Tek Knight mentions that his upcoming film also has a 12-minute scene comprising nothing but darkness, and a soundtrack of Nirvana hits.
The Tek-Knight plumbs a whole new pit of darkness. With its soundtrack of Nirvana hits and a 12-minute sequence that’s entirely pitch-black.
This was a clear jab at Warner Bros.’ approach to the character’s franchise, as they often reboot it. The Nirvana hit was a reference to the theme song of Batman in the 2022 film, whereSomething in the Waywas played; according to some fans, it showcasedRobert Pattinsonportraying an emo version of Bruce Wayne.

However, that’s not all, because the film also comprised a fight scene in a pitch-dark alleyway that was only lit by the flash coming from the gunshots.The Boyshave not stopped to poke fun at the character because Tek Knight also has a Tekcave, which sounds awfully similar to Batcave.
The Boys Continues To Belittle Batman in Their Recent Episode
The superhero satirical show did not forget about Gotham’s Guardian in their newest episode titledDirty Business,where Hughie Campbell, disguised as Webweaver, agreed to become Tek Knight’s newest sidekick and went to his Tekcave, which was a fancy word for his erotic den full of s*x toys and B**M mechanisms.
As Campbell infiltrated the Tekcave, it showcased another jab at Batman, where he would replace his sidekicks without a second thought. Jack Quaid’s character saw Tek Knight’s previous sidekick put away, as they might have displeased him in some manner.

Even though in the films the DC character is showcased as a loner, in the animated series and comic books, he had a Bat family. Kripke’s hit series not only parodies the character, but also progresses the storyline, which has left the fans anticipating what will happen in the next episode of the series.
The Boyscan be streamed on Amazon Prime Video, with new episodes every Thursday.
