I know we're all caught up in the euphoria of Tate Brombal's Batgirl run but I unfortunately have to remind you that at this very moment Tom King is giving us some of the most dogshit Lady Shiva writing ever.

Seriously, what is this? She wouldn't say that. You can tell this man has no respect for her characterisation in The Question (1987).

Next up on Clark's dating roster: a billionaire martial artist with a heart of gold, but without the paranoia and attachment issues lmao

Dinah Lance if she divorces Ollie and absolutely eviscerates him in the divorce, gotcha

Not to mention the og concept simply was not a team but something more in line with a team-up book like Green Arrow/Green Lantern or World's Finest. Of course it eventually developed into a team proper but originally it was about Oracle!Babs and Dinah and their dynamic. Read the editorial letters about the og idea and it's so clear what the purpose of the book was. If people want a girl power team that's great but that's not Birds of Prey's concept.

the thing that gets me is when people act like the Birds of Prey are a generic "girl gang" team that you can just exchange members out willy-nilly and it will still work

like no, the premise is that they're very specifically an international spec ops team co-led by the woman who once ran the Suicide Squad with Amanda Waller and one of the most dangerous non-powered fighters in the world

there's a VIBE. there's a PREMISE. there's a core lineup you can't eliminate and still truly maintain the base premise. almost everyone else on the lineup can theoretically be switched up depending on the mission, but it HAS to be "Oracle!Babs' and Dinah's spec ops team" or it becomes a whole different thing than what it was intended to be

In a context where Batman is known and seen through his public League appearances, the misogynistic, homophobic, "alpha male" guys start using his image to illustrate their discourse of going to the gym, and seeking submissive women. They admire and misinterpret his traits as endorsements of their toxic masculinity. Online, they share images of Batman with stuff like "Be the Alpha, Be the Batman". They even use the word Batmen as a synonym to Alpha Male. "Real Batmen don't show weakness".

When Bruce becomes aware of this, he hates it. He despises them for all their messed up views, knowing they completely misunderstand his principles. Batman's true strength lies in his commitment to justice, empathy, and respect for all individuals, values that are fundamentally opposed to the toxic masculinity they promote. Bruce is determined to distance his image from their rhetoric, seeing them as nothing more than sexist and homophobic idiots.

So he decides to be a tiny tiny bit more Brucie when they appear in public. Not in form, but in substance :

When he's asked a question, he tries to go "I have no clue, I'd have to ask Black Canary.", or "I'm not sure, I'd have to see what Wonder Woman thinks about that", or "This time, we really couldn't have done anything, anything at all, without Supergirl."

Also, Batman becomes more visibly affectionate with Superman. During public appearances, if he senses a camera on them, he makes sure to be seen clinging to Superman. He would rather face dating rumors every day than be associated with those idiotic discourses.

(It's also a good premise for a superbat fake-dating fic !!)

Bruce about to reveal his identity to the JL

Bruce: “I’m going to do something that may traumatize two of you. I am not sorry.”

Oliver: “oh come on Batman your identity isn’t that special.”

Bruce going full whiny play boy: “Dinah! Ollie is being mean to me!!!”

Oliver: blue screens

Dinah: “YOU BITCH!?”

reactions to Batman coming up to the Watchtower for a JL meeting without his cowl just wearing a domino mask, in order of hilarity:

oh no he’s hot (Clark)

he’s older than I thought he was (Diana)

he’s younger than I thought he was (Hal)

he has hair??? (Barry)

why do I recognize that scar above his left eyebrow? (both Dinah and Ollie, simultaneously)

good lord how is he so hot (still Clark)

[incorrectbatfam]

Bruce: Roy, let me ask you something. What was the first thing you did after the battle?

Roy: I called Ollie and Dinah to tell them I was okay.

Bruce: And what was the first thing Jason did?

Roy: He ate a banana.
