Batman has no chill!!!

[universitypenguin]

Get ready, Alice. A Missle of questions is coming after you!

Hey, what do you think about Batman? Have you watched any of the movies? Which is your fav, Batman? Will you ever write for him?

I love Batman!

I've written fanfic for the Batman vs. Superman (2016) version of the character. The story was a cross-over with Twilight, and I wrote it as an attempt to "save" promising characters who were ruined by a terrible plot. More on that later...

My favorite portrayal of Batman is Christian Bale's version, specifically The Dark Knight (2008).

Yes, I know that's everyone's favorite and I'm not being very original... but it's everyone's favorite for good reason! Honorable mention in the favorite version category goes to Batman from the animated TV series The Justice League (2001). That show really brings out the nuance and depth of Bruce Wayne's character. It was far too good to be kids show - I can still re-watch it as an adult and enjoy the plotlines. I have watched most of the Batman movies, just not the most recent one with Robert Pattinson. My best friend from college keeps telling me I need to, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Now, about that fanfic...

Several years ago, I wrote a 90,000+ word Batman crossover fanfic that was set in the Batman vs. Superman universe. Funnily enough, my disappointment at how terrible the film was made me start writing the fic.

The opening of Batman vs. Superman was amazing. My expectations went through the roof based on the prologue. Ben Affleck's version of Bruce Wayne rescuing a man trapped under a beam and saving a little girl was absolutely genius. You can see the emotion and the passion for helping people in his behavior, decisions, and responses to people and events. They did an amazing job with that segment of the movie. It fixed the one major gripe I have about Christian Bale's Batman, which is that there's nothing in The Dark Knight trilogy to show Bruce Wayne's true colors. Over the course of 7 hours and 38 minutes of film, Christian Bale was either playing: Bruce Wayne, malicious jackass, spoiled billionaire, prolific playboy - or he was in costume as Batman.

There was no hint at the humanity of the man under the mask.

The Dark Knight trilogy treated Bruce Wayne as a public disguise. It didn't acknowledge the complex psychology, the unique character behind the superhero. People love Batman for how much he cares; TDK didn't even attempt to show the amazing depths of Bruce Wayne. It was a tragic omission in an otherwise fantastic series.

But the Batman vs. Superman prologue? It ripped off Bruce Wayne's mask in scene #1.

This is why I was so impressed by the first scene of Batman vs. Superman... and then they ruined it. The rest of the movie was awful.

Actual footage of me watching the rest of Batman vs. Superman:

But of course, fanfic writers should never let Disney, Marvel Studios, DC films -or any other studio - have final say over what happens to a character. So, I wrote a 90,000+ word cross-over fanfic with Ben Affleck's Batman and Twilight.

The decision to make it a cross-over is because I felt Bella Swan was another a character that got wasted on a stupid plot. I actually liked Bella, but Stephanie Meyer's focus was always on Edward. He was the star of the show, and Bella served as nothing more than the lens readers viewed him through. She ended up with the depth of a card-board cut out because of it.

They both deserved better.

Hence, my Batman fanfic "The Sun is New" was written.

I'm know I've rambled on forever, but I just love talking about stories! <3

batman vs. superman (NOT the movie -_-)

If we were in the world of DC Comics, how many people would choose to go on a date w/1 of them over the other? There's a lot of factors to consider:

if a random villain attacks (from ANY Rogues' Gallery), would your date be able to protect you/vanquish said villain w/o preparation?

do you think you'd be able to make good conversation w/your date?

would you two have fun on the date you planned (I don't care what gender you identify as--you're planning the date, they'll pay)?

do you think their exes would get jealous & hunt you down?

if the date went well, would you be willing to have some kind of sexual contact w/them eventually (kissing, sex, whatever) assuming you're into that?

would they be good at the aforementioned contact?

who's aesthetically hotter, in your opinion?

do you want to be taken home in a car/plane or someone's arms (as in, FLYING THROUGH THE FUCKIN' SKY)?

No, you don't know their secret IDs. But I'm already laughing at all the loveless, money-grubbing people who chose to go with Superman & then somehow, later in their relationship, they find out who Batman is...

Go Batty Celebrating This Superhero

The first Batman Day was celebrated July 24, 2014, a little more than a year after the first Superman Day, because you know how those boys get. Now it’s celebrated on the third Saturday of September. This year that’s Sept. 21, which means Batman Day celebrants will have an answer when Earth, Wind & Fire ask if they remember the 21st night of September. Or they might not if they have a few too…

Lex: Look at those spoiled brats. If it weren’t for their daddy’s money, would they even be worthy of attending this gala?

Maxwell: [glances over at Bruce, Clark, and Ollie, who are deep in discussion] I don’t know, Lex. You seem awfully preoccupied with them. You’ve been talking about them all night. Could it be… you’re jealous you can’t get into their circle, no matter how hard you try?

Lex: [scoffs] Me? Jealous? Of those brainless trust fund babies? Please. I’m leagues ahead of them!

Lex: And who is that man standing so closely to Bruce? The one with his arm around him?

Maxwell: Oh, that’s Clark Kent. He’s the son of a high official from a foreign country.

Lex: I’ve never heard of him.

Maxwell: Probably because he’s too old money for you.

Lex: [seething] Argh!

Alfred sass is like no other.

[thevoidstaredback]

Dick, Tim, Damian, Wally, Bart, Konner, and Jon are all hanging out.

Wally: "Who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman?"

Dick: "Batman."

Konner and Jon: "Superman."

Damian: "Batman would obviously win if they fought."

Bart: "Literally how? Superman can not only fly, but he's got super strength , invulnerability, lazer eyes, and ice breath! Batman's got what, a fancy car and a grabbling hook?"

Tim: "Did you guys seriously never look into any of the Justice League heroes?"

Wally: "No...why would we need to?"

Tim: "....Superman and Batman have already fought."

Konner and Dick: "What!?"

Jon: "Who won?"

Tim: "Batman."

Bart: "No way."

Damian: "I told you father would win."

Wally: "How?"

Tim: "B's got contingency plans for his contingency plans. You really think he didn't find a way to, at the very least, contain Superman the second he learned about him?"

Konner: "Well, yeah, we all know he does. But that doesn't answer how."

Tim: "Ask Lois or Wonder Woman, they were both there."

Dick: "Not Alfred?"

Tim: "You really think he would've let B beat up Superman?"
