Batman beyond the white knight is apparently a universe where jason??? Is the first Robin?? And dick uses the name as his stage name until he becomes Robin?? Am I the only one that thinks this is extremely disrespectful??? Like What were you fucking thinking writers??? Just where did the name come from then??? Like where did Robin come from then??? If Dick isn't the first??? Role reversal doesn't mean other people would somehow have a connection to that name. The connection comes from Dick. The meaning comes from Dick. You can't have Robin without Dick. Those two are one and the same. Everything about Robin came from Dick. Everything that made people look at this kid and go, 'What a Boy Wonder! He can do anything.' comes from Dick. Like you can't have Nightwing without Clark Kent because that's the origin. That's where it came from. Those are its bones. Is anyone else so tired of seeing things just get taken and taken and taken from Dick without any regard to his character or legacy?

Edit: there's a reply in the reblogs I'd like to address. The idea of jason being batman's first sidekick- it actually doesn't work. It won't work with Tim, Steph, or Duke either. The whole reason batman gets a sidekick is because bruce takes in Dick and the reason why he takes Dick in is because he sees himself in Dick in a way he'll never see himself in the others. Jason is a poor kid from the streets, bruce will never identify with that. Dick is a prodigious circus star. Bruce will also, never identify with that.

But.

Dick has just watched his parents get murdered right in front of him due to a senseless act of violence, his entire life changes in an instant in the worst way possible, and he's all alone and hurting and angry and shocked and will blame himself for not being able to save them and that- that Bruce knows intimately. That is why he takes Dick in. They are the same, 17 or so years apart. If you took Dick out of the equation, they never met, but jason still steals the tires off the batmobile- Bruce would just get those tires back and tell the kid to go home or take him to a shelter or something. Bruce would care about him the way he cares about all of Gothams street kids or orphans, but not anything more than that. There's nothing special about Jason until he knows and cares for Dick, because Jason reminds him of Dick. And Dick opens his heart up in a way no one else has managed since his parents died. The next closest is probably Clark.

And being the first sidekick, really being the first child hero, is obviously a daunting undertaking, a lot of responsibility, something that requires perfection in order to be taken seriously by the adult heroes and the public at large. If Robin had been mediocre, no, if Robin had been just 'good', there would've been a lot more pushback, an outcry, a dismissal of batman himself from the OG heroes. The first sidekick has to be Perfect.

Who is literally known for being a perfectionist? For working himself to the bone but seemingly effortlessly? For always knowing the answer, the right action to take, to read and adjust himself and others accordingly in order to produce the best team effort, who has an athleticism and physicality Bruce instantly realizes he, himself, does not possess? Who is known for being the poster child of the ideal child hero/sidekick that grows into the ideal adult hero as well? Dick is the only one that could've been the first sidekick. He was So Good at being a hero while being a child, he opened up the door for other kids to do the same.

You can't switch these roles up without changing something fundamental to the characters. And then. They wouldn't be those characters.

Man, I don’t know which is funnier. The fact that a $200 million musical Joker sequel exists or everyone in the YouTube comments section trying to convince themselves this isn’t the stupidest idea ever.

What a pretentious load of drivel. 🤣

I will never understand why DC and Marvel think that erasing trauma from their characters is fine. No. Batgirl becoming paralyzed in the Killing Joke, while a total fridging arc, Barbra didn't let it completely destroy her life, she became Oracle and continued to help the Bat Family. Healing her broken spine (somehow) and having her become Batgirl again, it doesn't make sense.

Bobbi Morse being brainwashed and r*ped was fucking awful but she didn't let it control her even with her marriage to Clint ending, and then it was retconned that Bobbi cheated on Clint, yeah that's so much better than a victim becoming stronger, not!!!!

DC: Dick and Kory split up years ago, why don’t you shippers just move on?

Also DC: Check out Dick and Kory hugged up together on this variant cover. Are they going to have another trite conversation about how they still mean a whole lot to each other and maybe almost kiss? Tune in to find out!

superhero movie where the activist super villain has a good point but does something ridiculously extreme for it (idk kill puppies or something) is actually hired by the government, some heroes find out this has actually been an on going scheme to ensure the general public doesn’t lose hope in heroes while said public never questions why the heroes don’t use their powers to help solve world issues (like global hunger and environmental issues)

this causes a divide among the super heroes

basically the horror is that superheroes would rather remain the capitalist status qou of our world than make actual progress

There's only four good Justice League members in the 60s and 70s: Superman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman and Red Tornado. The rest are boring or awful. At least all the Avengers are cool. This is why I want to make my own reinterpretation of DC. Because Marvel already has a solid foundation. If I want to make stories there, it's easier. DC has some good characters, but almost all their major ones suck. They need someone like me to come in there with a chisel and start working, in my personal opinion. Perhaps that sounded arrogant. I just mean they're confusing and boring and they're neglecting all their good characters! So something has to be done. Probably why I'm always going back to trying to fix DC when I have a comics hyperfixation.

Facebook recommendations are so stupid.

Apparently Facebook thinks I'm a marvel hating, DC fanatic who is also a Vegan and votes extremely right wing.

Facebook, you are a failure of a website. Go away.

Heroes are quintessentially rebels

And the Marvel and DC Heroes of today are no longer rebels.

They are costumed propaganda machines who maintain the status quo of corruption and oppression while claiming to fight for justice.

Their great power is used to protect corrupt power structures.

They support what they purport to fight against.

Villains are the Heroes of today, and the Heroes have lived long enough to see themselves become the villains.

Wow catching up to Detective Comics Comics is the worst thing a grown adult can do with their free time. I can't believe I used to find Tom Taylor mildly tolerable. Why hasn't DC gone bankrupt yet?

Superheroes and Fascism

If you're a fan of comic books or superheroes, there's a chance that you've heard the argument about superheroes having some fascist undertones. This might sound ridiculous if you take that sentiment and run with in a very bare-bones, uncritical manner. However, there's a lot of truth to that.

Fascism is the belief that power should be invested solely to one individual who doesn't answer to any subordinates or any real checks and balances. While superheroes don't check every box of fascism at its core, there are certainly some aspects of fascism in the DNA of superheroes. I mean, think about it. A person who goes around fighting crime and becoming an authority over regular citizens without their consent or approval. A person who has no qualifications to be a crime-fighter outside of the fact that they are genetically superior.

These super-powered beings are sometimes completely anonymous, too. They have absolutely no accountability for the incredible amount of power they possess. Nevertheless, superhero stories always tout detractors of the heroes as insane for having a problem with an anonymous person running around and fighting crime with no checks and balances.

Superheroes typically answer to no one. There is an incredible power imbalance in that dynamic. Someone could be pushed into a life of crime via blackmail or on the basis of sheer survival, perhaps to help pay a loved one's medical bills. But a masked superhero without any real training can decide to use their excessive amount of power and ruin their life.

Superheroes serve the system. In some ways, superheroes are no better than cops. The villains challenge the status quo, and the hero puts them in their place for it. A superhero film will give us a villain who makes completely valid points, then make them homicidal or otherwise unsavory to wave away any showcase of beneficial systemic change. Superhero media often promotes this idea of masculine sacrifice and rugged individualism that have a lot of undertones in favor of the system we currently live in. Superheroes teach us to put our trust in the select few that are superior. The select few that are deemed more worthy because of their "power" are not going to save us, we are going to save us.

#superheroes #marvel #dc #anti marvel #anti dc #i'm not against superheroes inherently #i don't think that all superhero media is inherently propaganda for some nefarious cause #i just think that a lot of these stories unveil some of the more unfortunate thought processes we've developed as a society #some superhero content is exempt ofc #70s hulk is obviously exempt hehe

It’s funny, isn’t it, how throughout this whole new reboot there is no involvement in acknowledging the racist and abusive history that is now forever interconnected with the DC legacy and how they pushed out a grieving Father that had started this monstrosity in 2017 because they got their fill when the Snydercut came out?

Joker: Folie a Deux (or FolieJokAEDeuxR as it’s spelt on the poster) has been given an R rating for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality and brief full nudity.”

Oooh! Are we going to get to see Joaquin Phoenix’s little joker? 😉🤣

i hope aquaman 2 bombs at the box office. this is from someone who genuinely loved the first one and i consider snyderverse!arthur to be one of my all time favorite characters.

but wb deserves to have all their movies under current leadership fail. the way this company continues to prioritize abusers over their cast members, crews, directors, and even fans! that company literally hates us but wants to use us to generate engagement online and see their shitty movies and buy their even shittier merch. but i can’t condone supporting any of dc’s future movies so long as they continue with this behavior. Ray Fisher was right 

accountability > entertainment

I personally feel like DC is just a lot worse than Marvel. Mind you, I've mostly only read 60s and 70s comics, but Marvel just seems so much better. Back in the 60s, Marvel had Stan Lee's fun writing style (even if he wasn't writing the comic, you'd get his funny little footnotes sometimes). DC had nothing like that. Also, marvel has better continuity. I can understand Marvel. DC is confusing because of their own idiocy. If DC wanted to avoid confusion, they easily could have not created Barry Allen and Hal Jordan and all these frivolous legacy characters. They should have just brought back the 1940s characters, since that was the only time DC was any good.
