I know WFA is too OOC for some people, but I need that shit right now.

I do love seeing the Batfam beating the shit out of each other. I like how messy their relationships are and I have always loved flawed characters.

But idk, man, Batman #138 just really crossed a line for me and I need a reminder that there are other depictions of Bruce that aren't so fucking heinous.

I'll take this shit:

Over this shit:

Any. Fucking. Day.

a few things that will now cause Jason extreme fear:

exercise

fear

loud noises

bright lights

fear

high temperatures

threats

low temperatures

being excited

sex

anxiety

stress

F E A R

and here's a fun fact: adrenaline actually causes the memory-making bits of your brain to be stronger, which means you have a clearer memory of exactly what happened to make you afraid

#batman 138 #batman spoilers #gotham war spoilers #Jason Todd #gotham war #okay i THINK i've used all the spoiler tags lmao #anyways jason will either die of a heart attack or suffocation from hyperventilation or even possibly just in his sleep #apparently sleep apnea can be caused by excessive adrenaline production so. you know.

Here’s the edit after I read the whole this:

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL ITS GOING ON??

At this point I guess gotham war its the arc that brings the end of the bat family

fuckfuckfuckfuck!!! It breaks my heart to see Jason so broken, what kind of sadistic bullshit is this? Were they like “his death is so overused for the base of his trauma, let just add it psychological warfare to the mix”

Are they gonna use the fact that he’s got that evil devil in the shoulder personality controlling him to deny the fact that deep down, even it they’re warped by his fear, those are bruce thoughts?? Letting his kids to be taken by the police, and the other cowering in the dark, suffocating from the fear of merely existing?

Man this arc deeply disturbing

“Please… im so scared….” Fucking rip my heart out why don’t you

————————————-

So you’re telling this isn’t straight up abuse?? And what pisses me off even more it’s that after all this is over, they’re gonna sweep it under the proverbial rug of “bruce-brand-of-fucked-up-pseudo-love/care”

He’s taken everything from him, and still thinks “who’s gonna save you from yourself”

I hate it when he just says “i love you jason” because if abusive relationships have teached me anything, those words fix everything in the abuser mind, the magic wand of justifications

I just know that no matter how they try to fix this im not gonna be satisfied, it’s surely gonna be jason forgiving to easily‘cause you know, abuse or the storyline making light of a really fucked up situation

(Yeah and also i just re-read batman and redhood shattered by rage again, to add fire to the flame)

Also: yeah dick fuck him up!

Mood board of Jason but it’s just one picture and it’s too real.

#most upsetting panel of the year for me #how I felt standing in the doorway of my little brothers room the night he died #I’d tag this crying screaming sobbing #but it’s more like disassociating at this point #dc comics #batman 138 #red hood #jason todd #gotham war spoilers #gotham war #gotham war part iv #oc #original post

Batman #138

Just kill me now. Throw me into the sun. Rip out my insides. Any of that would be less painful than this panel. I want to die. I want to hug a huge murder man. I want to cry. I want Dick to show up and hug this huge murder man. Someone save him. Someone help him. THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.

My baby 😭

HISTORY MADE: Bruce Wayne Says "I Love You" to Jason Todd for the first time EVER

It is an historic occasion! In Batman (2016) #138 by writer Chip Zdarsky, Bruce Wayne says "I love you" to his son Jason Todd for the first time in forty (40) years of comics publication. In fact, Bruce says it not just once, but two (2) whole times!

This is also the first time that any of Jason's oddly long series of parents has been depicted saying "I love you" to him.

We do so love an involved parent who openly communicates his feelings about his child. Truly, nobody can shatter expectations like BATMAN!

Now every time someone says "I love you" to Jason, we all can look back at this milestone moment. A first only happens once, and this is now and forever Bruce's first "I love you" to Jason in comics history.

Wait what the hell is happening on the current arc? It sounds like this comic year should be erased from the public consciousness.

Sure spoilers for Gotham war but Bruce was sleeping for a wee while bc of the fall out of night terrors he also lost a hand and bc of failsafe he's also not really himself rn bc of him unlocking his secret personality of zur - anyway catwoman calls everyone to a meeting to tell them what she's been up to which is that she's been scouting the goons from the other villains and training them so they only steal from the rich which obviously Bruce doesn't like so he starts going after the people selina has been training - most of the bats are kinda just on the sidelines but are more in-line with selina apart from Jason who is completely on selinas side (except for in his own solo Gotham war side story which I honestly don't know when it takes place bc in it selina and Jason fall out bc jason doesn't actually believe any of the goons are gonna change and they'll crawl back to joker and the rest eventually ) but in the main story Jason is very much on selinas side to the point where she's helping him distract Bruce - the first time Bruce and Jason fight the rest of the bats (dick Tim cass steph and duke) show up and Bruce beats quiet a few of them but is struggling a bit against Jason at the end until damian swoops in to save him - damian and Bruce retreat to the redbrick House (which has been Bruce's base basically since alfred died a few years back) the next morning a lawyer comes to the redbrick to tell Bruce someone has brought Wayne Manor which is surprising to Bruce so he rushes to the batcave to find out oh no vandal savage has brought Wayne Manor - Bruce and Jason end up fighting again when Jason is pulling another heist with a few of the goons but this time Bruce kidnaps Jason and injects him with something he claims it changes Jason personality so every time he feels adrenaline he will basically have a panic attack - dick at this point is looking for Jason but ends up finding damian Tim also shows up and damian gets handcuffed to a street lamp - batman shows up and starts fighting dick and Tim and dick finds out what Bruce did to Jason- Bruce ends up fleeing leaving damian behind which obviously really upsets damian - back with Jason selinas lieutenant shows up and reveals she's been vandals daughter this whole time and wants to know if Jason would be interested in immortality only for her to realise Jason's too far into his fear to really be of use to her so she leaves him alone in honestly one of the most heartbreaking panels I've ever seen

I finally managed to pin down what exactly was eating at me after reading that whole bit of Jason Gets Mindfucked (aka Batman 138)

so Bruce's (or Zur Batman, or however you might interpret that slippery divide between Zur and Bruce) whole reason to give Jason a new flavor of ptsd-on-crack is to prevent him from killing again, right? Like he explicitly says "This is the only way," when he's speaking to Jason.

and when he goes on to explain it further....

Bruce says he's doing this to make him a better person. That this is the best way to make Jason stop doing what he wants and force him to live a 'normal' life.

And Bruce is saying that in his eyes, what Jason is now experiencing isn't a punishment.

Bruce calls this a gift. This is Bruce saving Jason from himself. This is how Jason will get a chance at a meaningful life. Bruce has decided that anything Jason chooses is wrong, and he is going to correct it.

Even if it means Jason is left unable to move.

Even if it means Jason is left unable to defend himself.

Even if it means Jason is left alone.

And if this 'failsafe' can really, truly, wholly stop someone from killing....

Why isn't Batman putting this in every single one of his Rogues?

Bruce apparently has the key to ending all of the Gotham rogues' murderous escapades, so wouldn't it make sense to put this in the heads of every single one of them? Of every single convicted criminal who has ever killed another human being?

If this isn't a punishment, if this is a way to truly reform a criminal permanently... why only Jason?

#i am partly being dramatic but also dead serious #pls for the love of everything holy read what Bruce is saying and then tell me that it's ISN'T classic abuser justification #batman 138 #gotham war spoilers #gotham war #jason todd #bruce wayne #batman spoilers #lemme know if i missed a spoiler tag #maybe those don't apply anymore but idk

Media literacy is dead.

Spoilers for Batman (2016) 138

I get why everyone is mad at Bruce for infecting Jason with the fear toxins but that’s literally not him. Like it IS Bruce but his mind is being corrupted by zar. it’s quite literally out right states that something’s wrong with Bruce. Everyone, and I mean everyone, including Damian know he’s messed up rn. Like at the end of the book zar is literally talking to Bruce in his head and he smirks at the thought of being alone. He’s being controlled. Will this have repercussions on Batman and Jason’s relationship after it’s all over? Totally. But that just leaves more room for their relationship to develop. I’m just annoyed when people are mad at Bruce for being abusive when he’s LITERALLY BEING CONTROLLED.

#batman #jason todd #bruce wayne #batman 138 #Batman 138 spoilers #spoilers #batman spoilers #comics #gotham war #though he’s not quite out of the clear for blame
