Why Batman is Catholic

With all the Oscar buzz for Dark Knight, I was reminded of these articles I found on Fisheaters from while back.

I always suspected it.

Thanks for the links, I passed them on to my son - a big Batman fan.

The guy does a great job of proving Batman is not an atheist, and proving he’s a Christian of some kind.

From there to Catholicism the argument goes weaker. Batman is either Episcopalian/Anglican or Catholic.

I suspect he was raised without being required to choose either church, so he never chose. He went to both.

Batman is a non-practicing/fallen Catholic (or maybe Anglican). There are several comics that show Batman in a rare state of prayer and paying homage to his dead parents in a cemetery laden with crosses. But he is definitely is not an active Catholic.
