brutalia for the ship ask!!

What made you ship it?

I really started getting into the ship once I researched Talia before Damian came along. I think their romance felt very...classical in a sense? Like, it's an old-fashioned tragic romance, opposite sides in conflict, typical kind of comic story. The implications that Damian existing has on their characters made it so much more interesting, and I especially like their current semi-divorced vibes in comics. (At least, Ram V really made their close-but-separated dynamic work.)

What are your favorite things about the ship?

It's rare for any of Bruce's love interests to stick for so long. Talia is an iconic character, imo, and I think the push and pull she has with Bruce is one of my favorites. Writers just don't take advantage of the tragic conflict anymore, because they made Talia a villain. Again with the "classical" vibes, but Talia has always felt like a princess to me. Bruce, with his whole prince of Gotham thing, and Talia as Ras al Ghul's daughter - idk, it lends a mythological sense to the relationship thats different than Bruce/Selina or even Bruce/Harvey or that story where he was with Silver St. Cloud.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I do think that they're better off apart. Is that controversial? I don't know. I feel like their relationship, while strong and very whirlwind, wasn't going to last. Not sure exactly what ages they were when they met (been a bit since I've read the comics), but I know Talia was young. To me, their relationship feels like something that was great going when they were young, but inevitably something was going to split them. Talia wasn't allowed to have a full free life until she left her father, and maybe just a bit of that freedom was being with Bruce. They did love each other, still have that affection, but as full adults (with so much changed) I don't think they can be the same as they were when they met. (Especially not in canon anymore, Grant Morrison I'm in your walls.) Maybe another unpopular opinion I have on brutalia, is that their divorced vibes adds more to their dynamic with Damian than they would if they were still together or even if they were complete enemies. That line he has where he goes something like "why can't I choose you both?" in his first appearance should've been more important imo.

Talia al Ghul for 3 hcs

I refuse to believe she doesn't strive to keep up with her medicine/doctor training. It's definitely an uphill battle sometimes with... everything in her life añklsdfjasf (the father stuff, the ex-lover stuff, the sister stuff, the son stuff, the whatever-Jason-is-but-that-definitely-wasn't-easy stuff...). She clings to it. It could be an alternative. It isn't, but it could be.

She's a voracious non-fiction reader, first and foremost, but also romance novels can be a bit of a guilty pleasure. Can be, because she often ends up frustrated with their gender dynamics, and with time she's grown more and more cynical about their endings.

The wardrobe in her Metropolis apartment is bigger than her room. She's a fashion icon <3

Bonus: if she had a daughter, she'd call her Melisande, after her mother (yes this will happen in my Jason&Talia as coparents + Jason playing matchmaker with Roytalia WIP, what about it xD).

send me a dc character and I’ll tell you 3-5 headcanons I have about them.

Batfamily Style and Aesthetics: Pt III

Duke: Duke is one of the younger bats in the family, so I feel like his style while youthful is slowly becoming more mature. I think have older siblings he has the ability to be ability to raid the closets and see what pieces could work for him but also what doesn��t. I think he likes to keep it stylish, fresh and not to many layers but also fun and easy.

Colors: Black, dark washed blues, creams, grey.

Ex:

Kate Kane: Kate Kane is someone who doesn’t care what other ppl think about her or her loved ones. That being said, I feel like she takes pride in her style to be able to rock anything. Kate was once a party girl in Gotham’s clubbing scene and I feel like she still had elements of that, but she also can dress sophisticated, casual, edgy,etc Kate Kane can pull it off.

Colors:

Ex: charcoal, navy, grey, white, reds, black.

Talia Al Ghul: Talia Al Ghul is many things,and has been a round for long time therefore it’s no secret she is a fashion icon. Talia most definitely wears high fashion in instances where she’s not on League business. She definitely has been to a Met Gala or three. She enjoys clothing especially someone of her caliber who can find and obtain anything she so desires.

Colors:Nudes, dark pinks, black, greens,purple, creams.

Ex:

[damian-lil-babybat]

Even if their characterization should be off coz their personality is based on Super Sons (that's why they are more goofy and lighthearted)...it still shouldn't make sense. If there's someone who should be a mess smelly slob, that'll be Jon, never Damian (the kid was the perfect protege on that series, and Jon was the noodle-finger finger-lickin' snackin' fun-shaped one).

Heck, the hygiene care of Damian should be even be of argan oil, jojoba, moroccan oil and other natural essential oils for hair and skin. Not because he's picky, but because that's what his family used in Middle East.

Do you think Talia 'fashion-icon-slay-queen' al Ghul, would not teach her son how to do proper natural personal care???

And if you think this is too much, nope, live in any arid places near the Equator, and let's see if smelling okay for private and public places would not make you self-conscious to do the barest minimum of taking care of your own body...??? Self care should not be luxury! It's part of being human.

Can DC stop with this "dirty Damian" jokes? It's not funny and in character. Damian was raised as a prince. Why the fuck would he not be clean?

I don't know if Damian being an Arab is playing a part of this but DC should be more careful with what they are writing with their POC characters.

I’m so tired of Talia exclusively wearing green and/or black, dc wants you to know that they define her by her relationship with Ras and Bruce so badly they even have her dressing in their colours lmao

Batman Movie Villains Ranked from Worst to Best

Recently, a YouTuber I follow by the name of Mr. Rogues released a list of Batman villains ranked from worst to best. I have nothing but the utmost of respect for Mr. Rogues as a content creator, but I took issue with his list because his long-standing biases were often the deciding factor in many of his rankings. So, I decided to do a list of my own.

I’ll be going over every Batman villain to appear in the movies, briefly analyzing their portrayals and ranking them on a scale of 1 to 5. To prevent the list from being too cluttered, I’ll be separating the villains by which movie series they’re part of. Here we go!

Burton/Schumacher Tetralogy

Bane: Perhaps the only villain in this series I’d call “bad.” The calculating tactician of the comics is nowhere to be found here; instead, he’s reduced to a monosyllabic, brain-dead stooge for the other villains. Overall, he does nothing that couldn’t be done by a random henchman. 1/5

Two-Face: A deeply layered villain in the comics, Two-Face sadly gets upstaged by the other major rogue in the movie, but that’s not to say he doesn’t leave an impression. Tommy Lee Jones gives him a manic and mercurial demeanor that, combined with his colorful design, wouldn’t be out of place in the Adam West series. The size and scope of his criminal organization make him a genuine threat, and there’s something darkly fitting about Batman’s former ally being responsible for the creation of Robin. 3/5

Poison Ivy: Mr. Rogues for some reason ranked her as the worst Batman movie villain of all time, and frankly, I don’t see why. Like Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face, Uma Thurman gives this character a delightfully over-the-top demeanor that combines with a colorful, comic-booky ensemble to make for another great “what-if-this-character-appeared-in-the-Adam-West-series” take. She does a good job juggling the differing facets of Ivy’s character: she’s the put-upon cynic, the craven opportunist, the radical eco-terrorist, and the suave seductress all in one package. 3.5/5

The Penguin: Fuck the Razzies. Danny DeVito made this role his own and set the stage for the character for years to come. He’s a bit of a departure, but a welcome one: far from the refined gentleman of crime Burgess Meredith portrayed, this Penguin is an animalistic thug warped by a lifetime of anger and hatred of the society who rejected him due to his deformities. His signature wardrobe, trick umbrellas, and Penguin gimmick are all there, but DeVito sells the role by showing amazing versatility: he can go from a comical and pitiable weirdo to a terrifying sociopath at the drop of a stovepipe hat. 4/5

Mr. Freeze: I honestly can’t say much about this character that my mutual @wonderfulworldofmichaelford hasn’t already. Arnold Schwarzenegger perfectly encapsulates both popular versions of this character: the flamboyant, pun-loving criminal genius from the Adam West series and the Animated Series’ traumatized scientist desperate to cure his loving wife of her terminal illness. Sure, the puns and hammy one-liners are what this version character is known for, but Ahnold definitely knows when to apply the brakes and give a greatly emotional performance as he tries desperately to cure his wife. 4.5/5

Max Shreck: Probably the only time you’ll see a movie-exclusive character on this list, and deservedly so. Corrupt businessmen are dime-a-dozen in Batman stories, and most of them have little personality outside of being greedy scumbags who either get defeated by the hero or betrayed by the other villains. Shreck, however, is different. Not only does he have an eye-catching fashion sense on par with any of Batman’s famous rogues, but Christopher Walken brings his signature manic intensity to the role, creating a character that’s as wicked and sinister as he is cool and stylish. You totally buy that the general public sees him as the good guy. His warm relationship with his son is also a delight to watch. 4.5/5

Catwoman: Michelle Pfeiffer does a lot to really make the character her own. She gets a lot of genuinely badass moments, but underneath all of her coolness lies the undercurrent that she’s a broken, traumatized character lashing out at the people who abused her and took her for granted. Even when she takes these ideals to unreasonable extremes, you never stop feeling like the retribution she brings on her enemies is at least a little warranted. Also, she has amazing romantic chemistry with Batman and her costume is fucking metal. 5/5

The Ridder: It’s Jim Carrey. 5/5

The Joker: This role is perhaps the one that set the standard for future Jokers to follow: Jack Nicholson’s humorous yet unnerving performance signaled to audiences early on that this would not be the goofy trickster of the Silver Age, but a different beast entirely. This Joker is a film noir gangster on crack: a disfigured mob hitman who quickly takes the entire criminal underworld by storm and unleashes his special brand of chaos and destruction across Gotham. He’s an artist, a showman, a charismatic leader, and the man responsible for ruining Bruce Wayne’s life. 5/5

Christopher Nolan Trilogy

Talia al Ghul: You know that recent trend in Disney movies where a side character we thought was harmless and inconsequential turned out to have been the villain all along in a twist with no buildup or foreshadowing with the reveal happening too late in the movie for this character to really do anything cool or impressive before being unceremoniously defeated? That’s Talia. DKR is the weakest of the three Nolan films, and I feel like it would’ve been much better received without this twist villain contrivedly shoehorned in. Also, while I could kinda forgive the trilogy’s whitewashing of other villains like Ra’s al Ghul and Bane due to the talent their actors display, Marion Cotillard doesn’t get a pass because she just doesn’t have the charisma or screen presence needed to pull it off. 1/5

Victor Zsasz: While the idea of redefining Zsasz as an over enthusiastic mob hitman instead of a serial killer is very interesting, it’s ruined by the fact that he barely even appears in the movie and doesn’t really do or say much of anything despite the buildup he gets. 1.5/5

Two-Face: Aaron Eckhart portrays Harvey Dent as a character of tragedy in a slightly different way than other tragic villains in superhero movies: he’s lashing out at a society he feels wronged him, but instead of being a lifelong outcast or put-upon loser, he was a handsome, successful crusader for the common good who lost everything he once held dear all in one fell swoop. You really feel for him even as he does horrible things. If I had to nitpick, though, I am slightly bothered by the fact that he plays some comic book movie cliches straight (i.e. they never call him by his alias and he dies at the end,) but it’s a solid performance overall. 3/5

Scarecrow: I’ll be upfront and admit that I’m more than a little annoyed that certain facets of the character had been changed in the name of “realism” — once again, they never call him by his villain name and he never wears a comic-accurate costume — but other than that, I can’t complain. Cillian Murphy plays the character with a smarmy, eerie charm that really makes his scenes stand out, his willingness to ally himself with other villains suits his character well, and the fact that he appears in three consecutive films with a different evil scheme in each really helps tie the movies together. 3.5/5

Catwoman: Much like other secondary villains in this trilogy, she really doesn’t get a chance to shine compared to the main antagonist — and, once again, it pisses me off a little that they do the whole “never refer to her as Catwoman but vaguely hint at it” thing — but she’s everything a modern Catwoman should be. She’s sly, manipulative, really holds her own in a fight, has great chemistry with Bruce Wayne... it’s all there. It’s also great to see Anne Hathaway break away from her usual type casting to play a role this dynamic. 4/5

Ra’s al Ghul: He’s a character that was in desperate need of mainstream exposure, and by God that’s what he got. Making him Bruce Wayne’s mentor adds a layer of personal tragedy to the climax where our hero has to stop the man who made him who he is from destroying Gotham with his admittedly brilliant plan. Add in a strong, captivating performance from Liam Neeson before we found out he was a racist asshole, and we’ve got one hell of an overarching villain. 4.5/5

The Joker: Everybody’s already discussed this version of the character to hell and back and likely will for years to come, so I’ll keep it very brief. He’s funny, he’s badass, he’s terrifying, he has great dialogue, it sucks that Heath Ledger didn’t live to see his performance reach the audience it got, and he basically makes the entire film. 5/5

Bane: Mr. Rogues actually ranked Bane higher than Joker on his list, and keeping it 100, I actually agree with him here. Finally, after decades of being dumbed down and misrepresented outside of comics, Bane is finally portrayed as the tactical genius from the comics. Tom Hardy plays Bane to perfection, being very believable as the peak of human physical and mental achievement, the man who broke Batman physically and emotionally. His design is iconic, his every line is quotable, his voice is weirdly fitting, and the memes are funny. 5/5

DC Extended Universe

KGBeast: Another point where I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Rogues. He is absolutely wasted in BVS, being nothing but a generic henchman for Lex Luthor. He doesn’t wear his costume from the comics, he’s never referred to by his alias, he doesn’t have his signature cybernetic enhancements, and he never does or says anything noteworthy. 1/5

The Joker: Ugh. I don’t know what’s worst: the tacky clothes, the stupid tattoos, the weird Richard Nixon impression that passes as his voice, the fact that promotional material hyped him up as a “beautiful tragedy” of a character even though he’s only in the movie for like 10 minutes and barely does anything, Jared Leto’s toxic edgelord behavior on set done with the flimsy pretense of “getting into character,” or the fact that he’s just trying to copy Heath Ledger instead of making the role his own. 1/5

Victor Zsasz: Chris Messina proves undoubtedly that Zsasz CAN work as a secondary villain in a Batman movie. He’s once again a mob assassin who enjoys his job a little too much, but unlike Batman Begins, he really gets time to shine. He’s just as sadistic and depraved as in the comics, but he also has this disarming, casual demeanor about him like he’s just indulging a hobby instead of slicing innocent people’s faces off. His close friendship with his boss Black Mask adds some depth to the character as well. 3/5

Killer Croc: Sadly, he doesn’t get much time in the spotlight, but he’s pretty cool nonetheless. The makeup and prosthetics used to create him look amazing, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s deep voice and imposing body language make him really stand out as an intimidating presence. He’s often in the background, which fits his role as an outcast by choice and a man of few words, but whenever he does get focus, he has everyone’s attention. It really would be a shame if this character’s only appearance was in a mediocre schlock action movie, but he makes the most of what he has. 3.5/5

Deadshot: Another highlight of what would otherwise be a forgettable film, Deadshot is just as cool and competent as he’s always been in other media, but this portrayal stands out for one simple reason. Will Smith was a very odd choice to play the role, but it worked out for the best here because you get the sense he truly understands the characters. He’s ruthless and pragmatic, but has just as enough charm and depth to make him likable. 4/5

Black Mask: I, like many, was skeptical when I saw early trailers depicting Roman Sionis as a foppish weirdo who doesn’t wear his signature mask, but upon seeing the final movie, I really feel like he has the high ground over other DCEU villains. Ewan McGregor is endlessly captivating in the role, portraying him as a swaggering dandy who is nevertheless dangerous due to his boundless narcissism and explosive temper. Sure, those who deal in absolutes would be put off from the differences with his comic counterpart — who is far more cold and humorless — but from a certain point of view, this flamboyant take on the character isn’t so much a departure as it is an addition to make him stand out while keeping his role the same. Black Mask has always been a middleman between the traditional mobsters of yesteryear and the colorful rogues that plague Gotham today, and this portrayal perfectly encapsulates that. He works in the shadows, but isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty; he flies off the handle and gets reckless at times, but there’s no question that the whole operation was his idea. 5/5

Harley Quinn: Margot Robbie owns this role. She’s unbelievably dazzling as a badass, funny, sexy antihero who deals greatly with tragedy and proves that there’s always been more to her than her initial role as the Joker’s sidekick. Again, not much to say, but she’s almost perfect. 5/5

Talia "The Fashion Icon" Al Ghul

[birdybat]

Batfam hunger games pt1

Please note that this is my idea and I may wish to use this in the future. If you want to write about it let me know first in case you write about it and I write about it and it will cause confusion thx.

Basically, Ra’s al Ghul is the president and his daughter is Talia.

Bruce Wayne leads the resistance but his cover is a rich billionaire that lives in the capital but used to be part of District 1. His family was from District 1 and they amassed lots of money by creating Wayne Enterprises that has various subdivisions like: Wayne Diamonds, Wayne Fur, Wayne jewellery, Wayne Gold and Wayne Metal (District 1 is known for luxury items). His parents were killed in front of him when they tried to rebel against the hunger games and Bruce was orphaned. Bruce was picked for the 49th hunger games and won. He moved to the capital swearing vengeance. Talia ends up falling in love with him and Ra’s approves. He acts like a billionaire playboy in the day and becomes a rebel at night. He helps the people in the poorer district by donating money and steals information for the Rebels.

Talia is the daughter of Ra’s and was love in love with Bruce. She runs her own company away from her father but is a loyal supporter. Talia is a fashion icon among the people of the capitol. She raised Damian away from Bruce with her fathers help to be a loyal citizen and to become Panem’s future leader.

Dick Grayson’s parents were aquatic performers from District 4 (Fishing). His parents drowned to death in a performance in the capitol in a suspected rigged trap that was set by a rich man from the capitol whom they refused to perform for. Bruce was at the performance and sponsored him and mentored him in the 59th Hunger games. He was twelve at the time. He adopted him after he won his hunger games and is helping out with the rebellion.

Jason Todd is from District 12 and was picked for the 65th hunger games when he was 14. He tried to steal from Bruce before he went into the games and they chatted for a long time creating a bond. Bruce promised him that he would protect him. Bruce tried his best to support him but he was assumed dead until they took his “corpse” out the arena. They later found out that he had eaten a plant that caused him to appear dead. Bruce took him in after and became his legal guardian.

Tim Drake was a natural genius. He came from District 3 that specialised in technology and electronics. Tim won the 68th hunger games at 15 by hacking into the others tracking devises and frying them. After that the capitol recognised his genius and Ra’s wanted him to work with Panem but with the help of Bruce and some convincing, Tim went to live with Bruce and started being the rebels hacker. Janet and Jack Drake initially rejected the idea that another man was raising their kid but soon came to accept that this was the best for him.
