I am. So fucking tired of Batman being portrayed as a bad parent and a toxic person. And it’s so goddamn widespread. Fuck, it might be as bad as the whole “Superman being a kindhearted Boy Scout is boring” take.
I get it, the man’s not exactly stable, he watched his parents get murdered in front of him and spent years of his life training to fight crime dressed like a giant scary bat, of course he’s not perfect.
But to say that Bruce Wayne isn’t caring, isn’t empathetic, to call him abusive…it just misses the point of who the character is to me.
Why do you think he fights crime? Yes, part of it is because he’s bitter and sad because his parents were cruelly ripped from him as a child, and he’s lashing out against the corruption of his city. It’s arguably the focus of his earlier years. But he learns to become more than that. He learns to bring hope, a chance to be better.
Harleen Quinzel is the Joker’s right hand lady, but she’s also a victim of an abusive relationship and a woman with a surprisingly strong moral compass and a love for animals, and wants to get better. That’s why we see time and time again that he has a noticeable soft spot for her, because he knows that she’s a good person at her core.
Tumblr media
Harvey Dent is a man who will decide someone’s fate on a coin toss(and a pretty inaccurate depiction of DID), but he’s also Bruce’s close friend who clearly needs help learning to live with his condition, rather than try to get rid of it, and someone who he still goes out of his way to visit, even after everything, because he recognizes he’s not just a criminal with a weird gimmick, he’s a man who is struggling with a condition that he’s mishandled his whole life.
Tumblr media
Victor Fries is a cold, emotionless man who will callously discard allies and blame them for being careless, but he’s also a man who’s either lashing out because he had the love of his life taken from him, or just desperate to make sure she isn’t taken from him, and is willing to do anything just to guarantee her survival. Of course Batman would understand, his whole life was defined by having people he loved taken away from him.
Tumblr media
Even the Joker, arguably one of the most morally bankrupt characters in all of fiction, is someone that Batman has offered a chance to. After the guy shoots the daughter of his friend, a girl he cared for like she was his own kid, and paralyzes her from the waist down, he tells the Joker that he doesn’t want to hurt him. He wants to get him help. He looks at this monster who has taken countless lives and says “You don’t have to be alone.”
Tumblr media
For fuck’s sake, he sat with Joe Chill in his last moments so that he wouldn’t be alone. Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents, who took so much from him, the person responsible for all of the misery and suffering he’s gone through. And he sits with the man to comfort him while dies. Do you know how much emotional intelligence and maturity that must take? To comfort someone who arguably ruined your life?
Tumblr media
And you’re gonna tell me the man who did that would abuse his kids?
Tumblr media
That he’d hold up the young man whose death was his greatest failure, the boy he grieved, and say this?
Tumblr media
That he’d look his goddamn son in the eyes and say this to him?
Tumblr media
Why the FUCK do you think he took in Dick Grayson in the first place? It wasn’t because he saw the kid and thought “Ah. A potential soldier.”, it was because he saw a boy experiencing the same heartbreaking loss he had so many years ago, and wanted to make sure he didn’t end up as bitter and miserable as he was.
Tumblr media
Why do you think he smiled when Tim Drake presented him a broken watch for Father’s Day? Because he was just happy to see the boy alive and safe.
Tumblr media
DAMIAN LITERALLY POINTED AT A COW AND SAID “I’m keeping her. She’s Bat-Cow.” AND BRUCE JUST WENT WITH IT. DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO ARGUE WHY BRUCE SHOULD LET HIM KEEP HER. HE SAID “this cow is my pet now” AND BRUCE SAID “aight, bet”.
The thing about Batman is that he wants to make sure nobody else ends up feeling the way he does. That’s not just about stopping a mugger so a boy’s parents aren’t gunned down. It’s about giving his loved ones the support and care that he couldn’t have, because it was taken from him. It’s about comforting someone who just went through a traumatic experience and letting them know that they’re going to be okay. It’s about going to someone locked away in a cell who thinks that they’re a lost cause and a burden to society and telling them that he wants to help them get better. It’s about EMPATHY and COMPASSION.
That’s what makes him a HERO. He’s meant to inspire us, to show us that we can have that same empathy for others around us, that we can turn our suffering into hope for a better future.
I just wish more people at DC would start recognizing that. But I might as well follow that example myself. Maybe through this struggle of having to see this hero mistreat the people around him and act like a grade-A jackass, people will start to recognize that missing compassion, and slowly but surely, it might come back. After all, what is this post, if not trying to bring attention to the matter in the hopes of fixing it?

Some civilians were kidnapped by Mr. Freeze and the bats were trying to figure out how to get them out
Suddenly one of the hostages spoke up
"Dude! Your wife is is just ectocontaminated, easy fix."
Mr. Freeze turns to the girl who looks at him like he's stupid
"Don't look so surprised, I'm contaminated myself but your wife just doesn't have the right stuff to cleanse it. There's a charm on my bag and if you put it on her - clothes not skin - she'll start cleansing... No, no the pink bag, yes, don't fucking rip it off you hooligan"
Mr. Freeze was still mistrustful but every chance is important so the hostage was brought to him
"If you lie-"
"What would I get out of it? Now take of the chunky ghost necklace and put it on her as well to speed it up."
...he did so
The bats were watching with bated breath as Mr freeze took it off and flinched
"Yeah feels kinda weird to normal ppl but trust, it feels great when you got some ecto in ya. If you really wanna speed it up I can fall in a favor but I will need a sheet of paper and a pencil for that."
After watching his wife's vitals change for the better, Mr freeze immediately got them for her. She then started painting a weird circle and chanting in a language no one understood.
Then a white haired guy in a hazmat suit appeared.
"Yo phantom, can ya help out his wife... On the condition he let's all the hostages go and..."
The hostages were freed pretty much immediately and nightwing decided to charade to them it was supposed to say "he stays peaceful" but it was not easy to understand
"...yeah well...help his wife" she ended up saying, much to nightwings dismay
"So while he does his thing, your wifes vitals might change and your gonna think it's worse but they work with the ecto, you can check mine, we should get similar ones, you can keep my cleanse stuff, she should keep one around at all times and-"
The...hostage? Helper?... The girl rambled on while Mr. Freeze checked her vitals
"Yeah no, blood isn't gonna show up differently, I don't think this universe has the stuff to see it yet"
Wait what-

Nightwing: C'mon, Danny, buddy...
Harley: Yeah, he's your friend! Do him a solid.

Is it just me? I always preferred New York City to Blüdhaven as Dick Grayson’s second city.

As soon as Judy and Jay touch, I feel an electrical surge run up my spine. Simultaneously, across the world, every man, woman, and child hears a flash of lightning in the distance... followed by the boom of thunder. Like that, the kidnapper's spell is broken. And history remembers Judy Garrick.

Maybe I’m just being weird and it worked for everyone else but the part where Wolfman is telling Dick how proud he and Perez are/were made me cringe so much I had to keep looking away. Sighing, pinching the bridge of my nose the whole time, etc. Like. In principle I guess that could be sweet but I just. Why are they canon??? Why do they have a pizza place in Blüdhaven???? I love Dick too but you’re talking to man who doesn’t exist, none of what he’s done is real!! Get ur ass back to the real world old man!!!!
That being said, di Nicuolo’s art kicks ass as always, that one panel of Jason pausing a fight to watch did get me unfortunately and Conrad’s backup was good so. win some lose some I guess.
The pizza place being called Marv & George's Pizza is a nice little tribute, but yeah, I don't know how I feel about Wolfman actually being a character in the comic. Although, it reminds me of Fantastic Four #511 when Jack Kirby was God. That was funny in a way since Kirby was the FF's co-creator. And Wolfman and Perez are Nightwing's creators, but they're just pizza guys asldkja.
Ha yeah the Jason part made me laugh because I was like is he just wandering around the mall in Red Hood gear 😭? It's like Mickey from Shameless when he gets a job as a mall cop.
"Shut your face! I just got out of prison, so I have no qualms about reaching down your throat, through your intestines, and out your fucking asshole to take back whatever you stole."

Tried to practice some faces for fun! (Featuring Jason's commentary and some of the batboys' cursed alter-egos)
Tumblr media
Fairly proud of that Dick one, honestly! Tried to make him pretty 😶 For Tim, I focused in making his traits softer, especially his jaw. I imagine Jason's eyes a bit downturned, making him look somewhat tired. For Roy, I had to look up references on how to draw stubble and it just ended up with me winging it lol.

I'm gonna give you that If there's ONE THING that Tim's got it's the audacity.
He is going very much put his finger on anyone's wound if it means he will get a particular answer or informations from that, even if hurts himself on the process. Just pure fucking audacity. I really respect that.
It's not out of cruelty it's to get Intel on how to navigate in certain situations, and this is actually a pretty solid character trait.
