these are my thotz as someone who has been directly exposed to 2022 and 1966 batman within less than a month: there's a sweet spot between silly/gloomy ways to write bruce wayne, there's unpleasant extremes, and then there's the real extremes that are such weird little freaks that they make perfect sense
Personal headcanon
Bruce is no taller than 6’0. He wears lifts as Batman to make himself more intimidating.
(Personally I would love it if he was either 5’11 or 5’10 but idk 6’0 sounds about right too)
The circus knows that Dick became Robin and then Nightwing.
Listen they know that kid! They know how he operates. They were worried at first but before they left they talked to Dick and Dick was absolutely ecstatic so they decided to keep their mouths shut.
Like they let him fly on the trapeze, they probably wouldn’t have blinked at him being a vigilante.
They make stops at Bludhaven now to say hi and read up on his pursuits.
They always knew he was meant for the center stage.
I love them!!! Thank you so much for informing me of their existence. I will now join those cults.
Hot and Probably Controversial Take
Saying “hear me out” about The Ghoul is about the same as saying “hear me out” about Mothman.
Ok so one more thing before I go.
Do you remember when I said Bruce’s plan was his faith in Clark?
GUESS WHAT CLARK’S PLAN WAS?!
My god these two are just so much. I never even noticed this parallel until I was doing this happy rang series my god. I love studying writing stuff.
Hot Take, I think the Bruce fires Dick retcon makes no sense and takes away from both characters.
Like why would Bruce be “oh I don’t want to lose my kid so I’ll fire him” and then adopt another kid and let them be Robin. That makes no sense at all?!
And it completely screws up Dick’s whole thing. Like Dick is supposed to represent freedom and independence. Him being fired takes away his agency in that moment and completely undermines his character motivations.
Also the departure does not have to be good. It can be a mess and Bruce and Dick can fight about it. I just want it to be Dick’s choice, because I feel like that fits better narratively.
So yeah the only thing I liked from Nightwing Year One was how he got the name Nightwing. Also in my Earth au thing Dick does still leave on his terms. I might write about my Earth someday I have like a full timeline.
Listen, I’m convinced you could put Barry’s name and a copy pasta down afterwards and it would sound like a Reverse Flash monologue. Or just any meme.
Thawne: “Barry! What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.”
Barry: “…”
Oh my goodness this looks so cute!!!
I'm going insane, does anyone remember the fancomic of clark kent becoming a comic artist and just draws cats for the daily planet? it has bruce wayne in it and he gives clark a peptalk???
I've been trying to find it for ages but I can't!! find!! it!!
Hi! I just read one of the best comics I’ve ever read. It’s beautiful, it’s compelling, it’s well written. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to read a beautiful comic.
Just remembering that final fight with Zenos..... no one tell the Scions about this.
"scythes are impractical as a weapon" ok but does anything else have the Cunt. i think not
