About

Batman does not eat X, is a series of Youtube videos featuring two Batmen from an episode of "Batman: The Brave and the Bold"; one is seen eating something as the other yells, "Batman does not eat [X]!", [X] referring to whatever the first Batman is eating.

Origin

This meme originated from the episode "A Bat Divided", from Episode 8 Season 2. In the episode, Batman tries to stop a villain named Doctor X who supercharges a nuclear reactor to cause a nuclear meltdown and power up his alter self. Batman hurls the alter self on Doctor X and the nuclear ray misses Doctor X. Batman is caught inside the energy charge and is split into 3 Batmen. One is a slacker Batman, the second is the scientist Batman, and the third is the Anger and Violence Batman. A video was uploaded to Youtube on February 15, 2010, called "Batman Does Not Eat Nachos!" by Youtube user "treehuginhippy"^[1].

Spread

A year later in March, 2011, the video was posted in the videos subreddit, where it was positively received. Soon, variations of the original video began to appear, featuring different foods, as well as other characters.
