Who better to beat the final level in Mario than the world’s greatest detective? (Or how to entertain sidekicks 101)

It’s probably Battison, but honestly this image has been stuck in my head for a while — let him be a good dad!!

The real tragedy of the whole “Batman contingency plans” thing escaping containment into the wider cultural zeitgeist is that it’s become completely divorced from the original context of, you know, the Tower of Babel story-line happening after a beloved member of the Justice League did in fact go mad, become all-powerful, and destroy all of reality.

Which is devastating because it loses so much when you take Hal Jordan out of it! In both adaptations and fan discussions!

Despite only being mentioned by name once in the story, Hal haunts the whole narrative in how unspoken he is. The whole theme of the story is the failure to communicate and how it destroys trust, and an essential part of that is how the whole League won't (and can't) talk about Hal.

When Kyle finally tries to bring him up, Wally shoots him down. He is the forbidden topic at the heart of the League's breakdown of trust!

When the contingency plans plot is removed from the context of Hal's fall from grace, isn't proceeded by a JLA founding member doing what was supposed to be unthinkable, Bruce's actions lose their emotional core. It becomes just "Batman is the coolest and smartest and also a huge untrusting asshole" instead of "Bruce was already on the knife-edge of crippling paranoia regarding his powerful allies, and then one of those same allies started slaughtering people and he couldn't do a thing to stop it, confirming all his worst fears and sending him right over the edge"

You take Bruce's feelings of very personal betrayal out of the equation. He's not operating on just hypotheticals, but fears that were heartrendingly justified!

Bruce claims the reason for his plans on some past mind-control incident, but Clark calls Bruce out on it being an excuse.

Maybe that's how it started, but there's a reason the fail-safes aren't against mind-control and possession. The fail-safes are ways to permanently stop your friends should they willingly or unwillingly become a threat.

And they both know it. They've argued about Hal several times before.

Bruce has a lot of unresolved feelings about Hal. He's still hurting.

The contingency plans are not some cold, clinical necessity. They are the product of pain.

I think all readings and tellings of the Tower of Babel should be followed by the JLA/Spectre story.

It provides the necessary emotional conclusion to the unspoken conflict! Because they finally have to talk about it! They heal the broken trust! Bruce admits how much Hal's betrayal hurt him and his faith in heroes, and gets past it! Instead of letting a former and potential future threat be eliminated as his fail-safes say he should, he invites the threat back, even if he can't guarantee it won't happen again, because he chooses to believe in his friend!

The contingency plans are a cool and interesting concept, but again, you can't just...take Hal out of it. You can't make it about some evil alternate versions, or about Clark. By doing that, you lose the most heartbreaking part of the story. Batman isn't in the right or the wrong, but he's not heartless. He's brokenhearted.

i love when irey is insane

[abelhatarefada]

i know this kind of trope was initially treated like a joke, but i see it so often in fans contents i wonder if people really belive this rn. specially the fans who dont read any comics.

I saw a post talking about the JL not being able to recognize when it's not Bruce in the Batman suit, which is all fun and good and a really funny plot for a fic, but I raise you

The JL not noticing when it's someone else because no matter who's in the suit, they're not a threat. B was one of the founding members, and even after all these years he still never let's his guard down, which has the unintended effect of making it so that the others can let theirs down. There's no threat that could get past The Batman on high alert. Plus, B has never, and would never, put them in deliberate danger.

And if it was a threat in the suit, someone trying to impersonate Batman, or even him being controlled, then they would know within minutes if not seconds.

J'onn knows the minds of his colleagues like the back of his hand. Even if he tries his hardest not to read them, getting impressions from their minds is inevitable, and all he would need is one glance to understand that it wasn't Batman.

Clark knows the way his heart beats, the way that air sounds when he breathes. The twitches of his muscles when thinking and the rustling of his cape. He would only need a few seconds around the fake to realize that they didn't breathe home in the same way as the Bats.

Oliver is a hunter made a hero. One wrong twitch from the fake and he's already moving to the best spot for an easy takedown.

Hal has so many years in combat that he wouldn't necessarily even need to consciously know what tipped his off, he just trusts his instincts enough to listen.

Barry is CSI and a certified genius. Diana has dealt with so many things over the years. All of them are heroes for a reason and are good at what they do.

I dont even know what to say rn...

I’m gonna need Jason Todd fans to stop putting him near the flash family. Because tell me why I’m seeing people ship him with Bart and Irey??

Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles present a new take on Wally West in Absolute Flash, coming in March 2025 from DC. “Without the mentor…without the family…without the Speed Force, what’s left is the Absolute Scarlet Speedster!” Robles drew the main cover, shown above.

She or Caitlyn should have told her

Merry Christmas Viktor Nation 🫴🎁

Mel absolutely would’ve been the one to tell Ximena about Jayce (and Viktor) you can’t convince me otherwise

[abelhatarefada]

IM SORRY, HE SAID WHAT

wally said WHAT in canon

I TOLD YOU

[abelhatarefada]

Say which non humans characters in DC who act like this

Humans are adorable.

Supporting evidence:

1. Humans say ‘ow’, even if they haven’t actually been hurt. It’s just a thing they say when they think they might have been hurt, but aren’t sure yet.

2. Humans collect shiny things and decorate their bodies and nests with them. The shinier the better, although each individual has a unique taste for style and colouring

3. Humans are not an aquatic or even amphibious species, but they flock to bodies of water simply to play in it. They can’t even hold their breath all that long; they just love to splash!

4. When night falls and the sky goes dark, humans become drowsy and begin to cocoon themselves in soft, fluffy bedding.

5. Some humans spend time in each other’s nests! Just for fun! It’s not their nest; they’re just visiting each other.

6. Some humans use pigments and dyes to make their bodies flashy and colourful! They even attach shiny dangly bits to their cartalidgous membranes!

7. Humans are very clever, and sometimes adopt creatures from other species into their family units. They don’t seem to notice the obvious differences, and often raise them alongside their own young!

8. If a human sees another creature in distress, they can commonly be observed trying to help! Even at their own risk, most humans are deeply compassionate creatures!

9. If a human hears a particularity catchy sound or tune, it will often mimic it, even to the point of annoying themselves!

10. Sneezes are entirely involuntary, and completely adorable. Especially when the human in question becomes frustrated

11. Humans love treats!!! Some more than others. Many humans will save these treats specifically for a later date when they are in need of comfort or reassurance. IE, pickles, pop tarts, Popsicles, etc

12. They’re learning to travel in space!!! They can’t get very far, but they’re trying!!! So far, they’ve made it to the end of their yard, and have found rocks

ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[abelhatarefada]

I have some thoughts!

I think Wally moved on from his crush on Dick. He married, has kids and is happy. It is in the past.

Roy? That man could stop loving him even if he wanted to. A little bit codependent, if you asked me.

But, anyway, this is just what i think.

Wally West and Roy Harper are both in love with Dick Grayson

Send tweet -oh shit this is the wrong website

[abelhatarefada]

to be honest i voted for best speedster knowing that hear me out: they're hot would have more votes

you people are crazy

[abelhatarefada]

oh, yes, foxy from the flash family. how could i forget him? such a cute doggy.

[abelhatarefada]

I think Grayson would make an incredibly good 10 ep TV series but only if they leaned into making it extremely trippy. use Spyral's hypnos technology to mess with the viewer and create a 'who is who' mystery. it's only revealed that Agent 37 is Dick Grayson episode 3 and all of a sudden you're like "why is 37 talking to Bruce Wayne? is Batman in this universe?" 50/50 campy spy action and psychological thriller, culminating in a narrative arc about how Dick is using his funny persona to cope with extreme trauma. themes of perception and persona. aesthetically, it would draw on 70s/80s spy chic, flamboyant colors, music videos. lots of eye candy objectification of Grayson but then make it about his sexual trauma in the finale. strong first person narration where Grayson tells you he's everyone, he's no one, he's whoever you want him to be.

one time my sister and i were talking to my uncle about the xmen and were calling them all by their first names and my uncle said “when i was your age we weren’t on first name basis with these heroes. if you wanted to address them, it was MISTER wolverine.” and i think about that a lot
