Pete Holmes Returns as “Badman” in Funny New COmedy Sketch "Batman Saves Gotham"

Comedian Pete Holmes is back in the cape and cowl, and Gotham has never been more uncomfortable. In his new sketch “Batman Saves Gotham”, Holmes once again transforms into “Badman,” the world’s most emotionally unstable superhero.

The setup is classic comic book drama—a bomb is ticking down with two minutes to detonation, and Batman declares he’ll fly it out over the bay. Sounds heroic, right? But instead of saving the day, he ends up trapped in a hilariously awkward small talk spiral that only Badman could create.

Holmes’ version of Batman isn’t the stoic Dark Knight we know. This Badman is a clueless, self-absorbed mess who can’t stop making every crisis deeply personal.

Whether he’s misreading Bane’s motives or unloading his emotional baggage on Commissioner Gordon, he turns Gotham’s biggest emergencies into painfully funny therapy sessions.

Batman Saves Gotham continues Holmes’ viral run of absurd Batman sketches that poke fun at the hero’s brooding persona and take it to gloriously weird new heights.
