Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock Draws Comparisons To Batman And Robin Meme

By Kofi Outlaw - March 28, 2022 04:08 pm EDT

The 2022 Oscars will forever remain infamous thanks to the moment Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the middle of the comedian's segment onstage – and for proof of that look no further than the Internet, which is nearly breaking under the weight of so many memes and .gifs of the "Slap Heard 'Round The World" being shared at once!

One meme that is definitely leading the pack takes Smith's open-hand hit to Rock's face and compares it to the famous meme of Batman doing the same to Robin. The results speak for themselves:

What Just Happened?!
