[thewaynemanner]

Ok. *Puts them in a corny, 90s anime romance scene in which Bruce helps Harvey come down from a rough dissociation/derealization episode by using sensory grounding.*

Jason: now tell him what you think it is.

Dick: ...wet broom

The thing I'm wondering about is why it's Batman who always gets the blame for what is more or less standard fare across the DCU. "Batman indoctrinates children into his war, the Robins are child soldiers!" But where is this energy for Wally West or Roy Harper or anyone else? Why doesn't anyone call Barry or Clark or Ollie out for indoctrinating children? And in the same vein, Batman gets consistently torn apart for not killing the Joker, when I don't really see any other hero get this? No one is writing hit pieces on Superman for not killing Luthor, but somehow saying Batman is a coward and in the wrong for not wanting to compromise on his principles is a significantly popular opinion? Like, there are legitimate reasons to criticize Bruce as a character (his controlling nature, his tendency to be cold and distant and push people away, etc.), but why is it always the wrong arguments (that have already been explained and explored in depth in canon) that always get the most traction? And why is it always Batman?

The Birds and the Bats

[Bruce trying to give Dick THE Talk]

Bruce: Puberty is nothing to be ashamed about, Dick.

Dick:

Bruce: Your body is changing and it's a b- beautiful thing.

Dick: *groaning into his hands* Brooooooose, stahp.

Bruce, powering through: The changes you're experiencing are like... *has an epiphany* That show you like! Poké-man! You're a Poké-man who is evolving into something better and stronger!

Dick: *staring at Bruce in horror*

Bruce, extremely sincerely: *taking Dick's hands into his own* Dick, you're a Poké-boy turning into a Poké-man.

Dick: *horror intensifies*

Bruce: And remember when it comes to STDs, you don't "gotta catch 'em all".

Dick: *realizing he's never going to be able to watch Pokémon again*

Bruce: And I think that's a great segue into our next topic, *whips out a roll of condoms* Condoms!

Dick: *stands up and begins to walk away*

Bruce: Dick, where are you going?! *slightly panicked* I still haven't shown you how to put a condom on a banana!

Genuine question.... So Tom Taylor's Nightwing won that award for best ongoing series, but I hear that a lot of people HATE Taylor's Nightwing run, and I just think that's a huge discrepancy. So what is everyone's opinion on the run?

I'm trying to decide if I want to read it or not.

I can hear you overthinking from here, Boy Wonder…

bruce haters will present you with a thirty-year-old panel of bruce beating up a drug addict and say here i have undeniable proof that batman is a bad guy actually and if you say don't you think this was politically motivated and says more about the writer than batman himself they will respond with well my favorite character never beat up any drug addicts as part of a misguided attempt by dc to discourage teenagers from abusing methamphetamines in the mid-nineties (not their exact words) and then you have to find a nice way to tell them that their favorite character is culturally insignificant 😔

#this is so fracking funny #A1 argument #bruce haters get wrecked #bruce wayne love #jason todd love
