Love how Batman has like, 3 rogues that directly challenge his ideologies and then the rest are just random ass people & insane fuckers that have nothing better to do with their lives

(Bonus rant in the tags if you want an actual response to this post)

ur telling me batman (a hero whose power is like 65% fear 35% money) has a villain who is all about weaponizing fear and he’s not the main villain? ur telling me batman (man with a secret identity so strong that there are questions of who the real person is at the end of the day and whose entire creed is about stopping One Bad Day™️) has a villain who is his childhood friend that has physically separated his dual violent-nonviolent nature and is all about duality and chance and he’s not the main villain? ur telling me batman (man with strong ideas about the Right Way to stop crime and who emerged from the destruction of his own family structure) has a villain who is his undead son/former sidekick who he couldn’t save and now disagrees with the way to address crime in gotham and he’s not the main villain? ur shitting me about this clown guy right

#the 3 in question do include the Joker for a good reason #Scarecrow & Two-Face are obvious but Joker does challenge Batman #specifically on how he developed post-traumatic event and how he treats those around him #where Bruce saw life as precious the Joker just saw it as a sick joke and tried to cope by finding sadistic humor in the cruelty of life #but it isn��t wrong to say that Crane or Dent should be Bruce’s main villain #I absolutely believe that #Jason is tricky tho #mainly because he’s an anti-hero now and really doesn’t fit villain status #unlike Batman’s rogues Jason does what he does to better Gotham rather than outright harm it #Jason is a very very good challenge to Bruce’s no kill rule but I don’t feel it’s accurate to judge him as a villain #nor would Jason being a villain feel right #however I do feel that Jason challenges the no kill rule far better than Joker ever has #thank you for reading my Ted talk
