#Batman is the best

[shadowmonsterrealms]

I don’t think people realize how much an impact that Bruce Wayne has on DC.

The amount of times I’ve seen Bruce impress any power bionic character always gets me. Cause it reminds those characters (Flash, Superman, Greenlantern, Wonder Woman) that they don’t get chosen to be heroes, or that their abilities make them be specific for a hero. Because a human man decided to be a hero, a man who can easily throw these hero’s under the bus if he WANTED to. He analyzes their weakness, their strengths, their abilities, and he cna easily kill these characters if he WANTS to. But he never does.

Because, he knows the feeling of being powerless, he knows that he’s no better than the villain that killed his parents. which led to him to become a hero. He wants to be able to be hero for those villains around him as well. He wants to be the hero that he needed at such helpless time when his parents were taken from him, and to never let that pain happen to other people who were like him.(probably repeated myself, but oh well)

He’s shown to give mercy to villains. Becuse he knows that they’re much like him. Expect for the fact that they choose a darker path, while Bruce still is battling this demons of possibly snapping. But he never does, he lets them become better. To get help for them.

As an additional, even without the mask. Bruce Wayne has shown to be an amazing person in the spotlight. He does fundraisers (which his parents were practically known for), giving out money to improve Gotham without crime fighting. Which he still nonless. He cares about the city which is known to be cruel and unforgiving, but he knows that there’s goodness in the city.

That’s why it’s always chilling when Batman decided to be a villain in other comics. It means he snapped, he gave up on saving villains, he gave up on trying to help Gotham. And that went down with the Batman not being Batman anymore.

Batman will forever be my favorite DC superhero

🦇🦇IT'S BATMAN DAY!!! 🦇🦇

The Dark Knight is my favorite superhero, so it would be remiss of me to let the day pass without honoring him! To represent, here are some pictures of my favorite animated versions of the Caped Crusader!🦇❤️ (Mostly animation designs by Bruce Timm)

These animated Bats were chosen also, because they're voiced by 3 of my favorite voice actors who gave life to Batman! It should come as no surprise that I would choose to mostly represent those voiced by Kevin Conroy, as he is THE VOICE I associate most with the World's Greatest Detective!

Jason O'Mara & Bruce Greenwood and their respective Batmans, are very different, but in all the best ways! Through them, we get to see how they interpreted Batman and how they chose to bring him to life in new ways! They're fantastic editions to not only the DCU, but also to the wide range of men who have 'been' Batman before them and to those who have and will come after!

Thank you so much, Swan!!! ����🦢😇🤍🦇 As you know, I’m gonna have multiple answers for most.

So I actually have a few. But to name a few: I like Queer As Folk, LOST, and Arrested Development (pre netflix).

17. A show that you love to hate?

Gilmore Girls it’s only the nostalgia keeping me with it. (Also shit like house hunting shows? Those people make me infuriated but I love to watch those rich people bitch about things god…)

The Batman, Spider-Man: Into The Spider Verse, and Batman Returns. What else is there to say?

81. A movie you felt attached to after watching it?

Matilda (1996), hands down I didn’t have a chance to watch it till I was an adult, and I sobbed my eyes out. I will never forget the way it makes me feel.

World’s Greatest Detective fails to correctly identify his children 😭

[glitter-stained]

Random goon: Hey boss, were you the one to pick that name as an alias? And why this one?

Red Hood : I used to have another name, before... A long time ago. But that person is dead now. I get to choose for myself now, they can't take that from me. I won't let them.

Goon: Huh.

***

Random Goon: Say boss, why do you never take off your shirt in front of us?

Red Hood: Well uh, I actually have that really fucked scar on my chest and I'm not comfortable with...

Random Goon: Don't worry boss, we get it, you don't have to explain yourself to us.

***

Red Hood, high on some toxin: God, I wish my family...

Random Goon (on boss-sitting duty): why not try reaching out to them?

Red Hood: They would never accept me as I am now... They wouldn't agree with my so-called "life choices". Besides, they don't miss me, they miss the person they think I used to be... I wasn't even a man when I last saw them.

Random Goon: Damn boss, that sucks.

***

And then the goons throw the Red Hood a party on trans visibility day and Jason is so confused he straight up cries.

i lost the ask my bad! but here is jason for an anon

[ahfrickenfrick]

nightwing being hurt in the field, and over comms he can’t get out what was wrong, nearly in shock, and jason puts on his best batman™️ voice and says “robin, report.”

and it snaps dick out of it enough to say concussion, possible broken ribs, and a gash in his side.

no one talks about it, and then a year later, damian does the same thing to tim

[bbbbbbbbatman]

Bruce keeping a tighter and tighter lid on his identity around the Justice League because with each new person to reveal their identity he realizes that he has fucked far too high a percentage of his co workers as Bruce Wayne and he has to take this secret to his grave

[tiger-grace]

(Batman gets de-aged in a fight)

Duke: he really does look like Damian if you squint, doesn’t he?

Jason, walking in: oh, look, it’s the poster child for untreated youth mental illness

Tim: no, thats Bruce, not-

Jason: did I stutter

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

best thing about batman is that he's a superficially grimdark character, gothic & brooding & angst ridden etc..........but then it turns out he has a million hobbies, regularly goes on adventures with his besties, and has a dozen adopted kids he's raising with his devoted foster dad. good for him

[shadowmonsterrealms]

I don’t think anyone realizes how much I love Bruce Wayne.

This man loves Children, on such a deep level. He’s saved so many people’s lives, and he cares deeply about each of Gotham citizens. Specially kids. I believe it’s the fact that he can’t ever say no to those faces.

But also the fact he’s been in their shoes when he’s lost something important (mentioned in my last post). So he wants to protect that, so he takes care of them. That’s how he fell for (when I mean fell, not pun intended) Richard/dick. His parents were killed due to an “accident,” so he takes him in. Giving him something/someone that he never had (not really including Alfred, but don’t worry I’ll mention him a different post)

Hes also taken care of other children, including very murderous children. AKA psych child (I can’t remember her name), he thought he could convince her to shut down her plans. And he knew that she wouldn’t want to, dispite her almost being aware of her potentially dying. He wanted her to know and feel comfort her last moments, even if she requested it. It doesn’t negate the fact he was willing to do it by holding her hand, and sitting along side her on the swing set.

There was a comic artist(maybe he was a director I forget) but he’s stated that you’ve never made an official Batman without adding the detail that he loves children or is there for their characters. If you didn’t, you’ve just made a man who dresses up as a bat. Which he does have a SLIGHT issues, he itsn’t wrong. Majority of Bruce’s arks are surrounds with children, and he cares so much about them.

Batman will forever be my favorite DC Hero.

[violent138]

Time-warped or travel scenario where Bruce gets launched back into a younger version of himself with all the memories and the first thing he does is goes and gets Dick Grayson right after his parents' death, then pick up Jason, arrange about a million playmates to get Tim out of his house, and once he has those kids happy and taken care of, he goes off to find Cass, helps Steph with her dad, and leaves a very pointed voice-mail for Talia.

Alfred thinks he's more mentally ill than usual for knowing exactly which orphans and as he pointedly reminds Bruce, "children whose parents are still very much alive" he's trying to steal and adopt.

Bruce heatedly replies that they're his kids and that he's going to do everything right this time, rendering Alfred absolutely speechless until Bruce asks if Alfred would be able to make dinner for his new brood of kids.

"Try and remember who you're speaking to Master Bruce, I've thrown dinner parties with less notice"

"Great because I have a list of allergies and some notes on favourite foods."

Dick and Damian graffiting on each other's stuff!

Batman & Robin #10 & Nightwing #108

[phantobats]

I think this is why Bats got all his Robins in toddler/pre-teen form.

The weirdly competent Doctor

So! The Watchtower's Medical Bay is a hub of constant Activity. With the number of Heroes who work under the Justice League, there are always injuries, health check-Ups, and illnesses that need healing.

But with the amount of Variant Biologies that those Heroes have, it's always a guessing game as to how to help them best. Some Metahumans react positively to penicillin, but others react like it's their Kryptonite. Some Aliens have anatomy similar to Humans, others are so different you can't tell the Stomach from the Bladder.

So when they hired a New Doctor for the Medical Bay, they had to run him through an entire Course on Variant Biologies and how best to treat specific Heroes. It was long and difficult to remember fully, but it was necessary for him to know.

But then the new Doctor started correcting Them.

"Actually, Martian's react better to the Syrup of Eucalyptus Plants better than Penicillin, since Eucalyptus is very similar to a medicinal plant from Mars which they used in many of their antibiotics."

"I don't think just pumping double doses of sedative is the best way to calm down a Speedster, that could have adverse effects on their body. Perhaps try Psychic Intervention? Their minds move a Mile a Second, but if you can calm them down their bodies will follow suit."

"Of course you use Micro-Doses of Kryptonite to operate on Superman! What else would you do?! I don't know, maybe ask JLD to enchant your Equipment to make use of Kryptonian suseptiblity to Magic? The Kryptonite is just gonna give him Cancer!"

Of course the Doctors didn't take kindly to being rudely corrected by a newbie, and Fired him on his first day.

Then a few days later their usual Treatments don't work, and they decide to give those strategies the Quack Doctor gave them out of desperation.

And Lo and Behold, they work! Martian Manhunter is fully healed and feels much better than the previous times he has needed surgery. Apparently they used a different Antibiotic that worked better with his Biology. Which was incredible, how had they figured it out?

Another Doctor you say? One who was experienced on Martian Biology and Medicinal History? He would very much like to meet with the man!

...

What do you mean you fired him for talking back?!

[everwalldigan]

Bruce being a toxic boy mom when it comes to nightwing will never not be funny as fuck he is literally the biggest nightwing defender one bad word against him and the next day he’ll show up at ur house
