I do genuinely feel like one drawback of specifically modern superhero comics is that sometimes you read a run and it's like... you know when game of thrones was on and they were like "yeah if we need characters to talk but don't have anything for them to do we just have them talk during a sex scene" ?

Sometimes it feels like superhero comics are that with fighting.

Didn't know what to have happening on screen. Gonna just have this conversation with our *fists.*

#this is very vague and so not really constructive criticism at all. A sequence I just don't like has been going around a lot again lately.#I just am sad when things could clearly have been dark brooding conversations in the rain leaning in real close #and reaction shots of dumpsters and street kittens and fire escapes and traffic #and instead it's uh. it's batman beating his kids again. god damnit.#like listen I desperately wants bruce sparring with the kids to be like. meaningful and bonding and serious.#but I'm also enthralled by 1969 batman refusing to raise a hand against robin even under duress #because it wasn't a spar it was real and outside of a conscious agreed upon spar he is Not Fucking Raising His Hand Against Them #but then they'd have to be talking heads!#please lean in the calvin and hobbes wagon ride direction instead i am begging #beatext
