It’s just trading cards – like Yugio or Pokemon – with bad Engrish.
No. Engrish does not explain the sudden appearance of ‘Spiderman’ in the text.
There is some kind of special evil at work here.
or the use of Jim Carrey’s riddler from a completely different batman movie…
Clearly this is the doing of Doctor Riddler Octocrow
Also I don’t think legitimate Pokemon cards have bad Engrish. Nintendo’s quality control is pretty good.
Oh my god, I want one of those so badly. I’d frame the damn thing. It’s like some weird kind of beat poetry.
Doh!
I am join to you in this wanting of badly.
Oops… make that very good Engrish.
It’s still better than anything Joel Schumacher has done with the Batman story…
that was a huge step backwards for Tommy Lee Jones
+1
I have a confession to make: Batman Forever is my favorite movie…. I just never get tired of it! It’s my guilty pleasure.
I bet DC sues the pants off them. lol
Please tell me you bought this.
And please tell me where I can buy one, too . . .
Me too. It’ll be the new Three Wolf Moon shirt.
I like the Batman Begins, complete with Riddler and Mr Freeze, from Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, respectively
Don’t forget Doctor Squid, The Green Anti-Loyalist, and Asbestos man.
Must have…….
“The Abnormal Drug Trafficker”…DC is REALLY scrapping the bottom of the barrel for new villains aren’t they?
Nice.
So is he a drug trafficker who traffics abnormal drugs, or is he a drug trafficker who is abnormal?
I… want to buy it.
I too must own this… need link.
You should see the engrish that adorned some Chinese ST: Voyager disks I got. Holy shite.
Bruce burned down his father’s villa, but will build a new one with better equipments and new basement, to store his supply of kryptonite.
I need to own this!
During the day, he’s just Normal Drug Trafficker, but at night, he changes into ABNORMAL Drug Trafficker, where he buys back all the drugs he sold to you earlier that day.
I lol’d.
This is what happens when you translate something perfectly sensible back and forth between two languages, repeatedly.
Really? Batman becomes Spiderman when you translate it twice?
And this is what happens when you translate something completely nonsensical back and fourth between two languages until it stops changing.

“His parents, Batman, billionaire parents, abused him – in fact to kill the son of Bruce keen to start their testimony revenge. But God will allow him the opportunity to play his radio”
Of course, I couldn’t fit the whole thing in the box.
“Today is Laundry Day” cannot reach equilibrium.
:’(
Wow. Interesting!
“This is a real translation party!” finds equilibrium as “This is the actual translation!”
Woo, I broke Translation Party with the last stanza of the Brady Bunch theme. XD
I have a need of this to own for Spiderman! God had not given me a chance of to fulfill his will !

IIRC, James Randi told a story about how one of his jobs was to translate a camera manual either from Japanese to English or vice-versa. Well, he comes upon a passage that is very hard to understand, that just requires a simple rewrite, something like adding one word and replacing another. He calls about it, and in the end, it turns out that the person who did the translation was high up in the company, and pointing out an error, even an obvious one would be an insult to his honor, so he could not revise it.
Yep, welcome to Japan, land of “whuuuuuut????”
I don’t see how that’s any different from the attitude at American companies.
It’s log,
It’s log,
It’s better than bad, it’s good.

I got your Log right here!
I’m halway down the comments, thinking “Nobody sees the Ren & Stimpy reference” and then your comment shows up, and all is well.
Thank you.
Hello. I am Nigeria Prince Abul Abumdulmah. When being a child I witnessed with my own eyes the fact my parents of millionaire were killed cruelly. I found basement under their villa with US$ 13 million. I stroked you with hoping your equipments can get money of insurance over seas. Please help I have mysterious opponents quite familiar with me————————-
Here is the text in copy form. This is hilarious.
When being a child, Bruce Wayne had witnessed with his own eyes the fact that his parents of millionaire were killed cruelly, so affected his strong desire of revenging his parents. However, God had never given him a chance to fulfill his will. Following the advice of ravs al-ghul, the chief of ninja group, Bruce come to gete, which was a corrupted city filled with various crime groups. Bruce found a basement under his villa, in which the equipments turned him into another person: Spiderman. With this mask, Spiderman stroke all criminal activates and criminals everywhere, such as Tougun, the chief of mafia, Doctor Jackstraw, the abnormal drug trafficker, even a mysterious opponents quite familiar with him———
“Spiderman stroke[d] all criminals everywhere.”
I like where this is going!
Looks like trading cards to me.
Confusing, too, that the Christian Bale/Christopher Nolan version seems to be paired with the George Clooney era version (i.e. Jim Carrey’s “Riddler” in the picture on the left).
Not to nitpick, although I am, but Clooney would be paired with the Arnold Mr. Freeze (seen to the right). Kilmer was paired with Carrey.
Maybe it’s just me, but Mr. Freeze’s face looks a lot like Vigo the Carpathian. Creepy. Though it makes me think of a Batman-Ghostbusters crossover, which could be fun.
When I was little, my Nonna bought me a bootleg Batman doll that looked like a cheap Barbie. It looked hilarious. Batman was either really Italian/tanned guido from Jersey Shore or black. Wish you could embed images here.
As for this? Looks like trading cards.
“His parents, Batman, billionaire parents, abused him – in fact to kill the son of Bruce keen to start their testimony revenge. But God will allow him the opportunity to play his radio”
It’s even better when you run it through Translation Party!

Someone PLEASE buy this for me. I will gladly pay you 5x the asking price to own this amazing piece of bad-translation mastery!
Nothing see I wrong here.
Along move.
I am happy to know that places other than America have serious issues with crack.
Yeah. Because English not being your native language = crack?
You don’t see me writing in Mandarin and pretending it’s right.
Easy on the proxy-offense.
I’d pay $1.50 just for the laugh!
Later at Stately Wayne Villa….
Peter Parker is Batman. Bruce Wayne is Spider-Man. Spider-Man is Batman. It all makes sense. There was never an Uncle Ben. Only pain.
They include *both* old and new Batman logos into some sort of odd looking creature thing.
They include *both* Christian Bale’s and Michael Keaton’s Batman.
The box is labeled “2006 Batman Begins”. That movie came out in 2005 worldwide.
The box includes Jim Carrey as the Riddler. That happened in 1995′s Batman Forever, with Val Kilmer as Batman, and not Batman Begins.
Oh, and I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the blue face in the bottom right corner is Top Dollar from The Crow. Although it could be Thomas Hayden Church from Spiderman 3. Which would be… slightly more consistent.
It might be Cillian Murphy. It does look a lot like Michael Wincott, though, maybe from the scene where his sister is standing behind him playing with his weave and he’s about to put his snooter into the big plate full of coke, or maybe talking down towards the table before the wild gesticulating began in the devil’s night speech.
The purple wash and half his face missing makes it a bit harder.
This was posted on Something Awful a year or two ago, but it is still wonderful.
