I love my detective~

[autistic-wolf-pack]

Fuck the sad boy Timmy trope and the perpetual victim Jason Todd

Give me Dick Grayson being an actually three dimensional character and the angst from the trauma he has.

Give me Babs being a mother to Cass while they’re both struggling so bad mentally.

Give me Talia missing her baby and wishing it was safe for him to see her.

Give me Duke fighting the joker as vengeance for what he did to his parents.

Give me Steph being horrifically triggered because while doing something with Riddler she got reminded of her father. Give me Steph’s trauma from the teen pregnancy.

Give me Damian with his canon character development.

Give me Kate and Selina being anything but a plot device for the main characters.

Give me Jason dying and staying dead he is so overrated I swear to god.

I wanna be suffocated in between all four of them as they take turns switching who will squish me. Instead of a blunt rotation it is a sandwich rotation. I shall lay with 6 pairs in total. At the end, they will lie on top of me and I will die happy.

Uh lesbians

hc that bruce wayne trained himself specifically not to laugh because his laugh reminds him of the joker. he works with several people who make a lot of dumb jokes (dick grayson i am looking directly at you), and contrary to popular belief he finds many of those jokes funny. he just never laughs, because his natural laugh sounds way too similar to the joker.

this also means that the villain 'the batman who laughs' (for those who don't know, he's an alternate version of bruce who got jokerized amd went insane, then killed all the other superheroes in his universe) didn't have to make himself laugh like the joker, he literally just sounds like that.

In the earliest few Riddler comics at least, he's just a chronic cheater. He cheats his way into being thought of as a genius as puzzles, and he starts believing it himself, at least to some degree. Then he starts designing "puzzles", except the puzzles he makes have ambiguous answers/more than one possible valid answer, so Batman and Robin basically just have to guess the meaning and can get it wrong by pure random chance. And Riddler tries to guess which answer is the one that Batman and Robin will decide is correct, so that he can make a different interpretation the "right" solution. And Batman and Robin try to predict what Riddler will predict they will do lol. It's like Riddler weaponizes shitty game design. Entirely unfair questions that cannot truly be solved. Which, to be fair, is the kind of thing that feels diabolical and maddening when you're playing a badly designed puzzle video game. Also, Riddler locks them in a bulletproof glass maze and tells them to find the exit, but he designed the maze to have no exit. Then Batman and Robin manage to break out (iirc I think they take out one of the supports/joins between the glass panels instead of attacking the glass? hard to remember), thereby solving a puzzle Riddler intended to be unsolvable by finding a solution he could not imagine. Because he is just a cheater and is bad at puzzles. Honestly it's a fantastic and fun idea for a villain imo. A lot more fun than I imagined him before I went and read some of those very early Batman comics. P.S. Two-Face is WAAAAY more fun as originally imagined than in the Dark Knight movies, too. Like oh my god, they murdered that character's entire concept. Unless I'm misremembering those movies, I guess. But if I'm misremembering those movies, then the very unmemorableness of their interpretation of this character is in and of itself a damning feat. /ramble ramble ramble I imagine the characters may have changed a lot in later iterations however. I haven't gotten there yet though so idk.

Starting to think we told children that The Fair Folk were out there to trap you in twisted words and doublespeak and clever traps that take what you say and turn it against you for cruel and mischievous purposes just to drive home the importance of critical thinking and analytical skills

If we don’t start putting funding back into the education system I’m gonna invent a creepy pasta that steals your face if you can’t recognize media bias

Detective comics #958

[whywoulditho]

for some reason middle aged comic fans coming on the internet to defend their decision as to why they thought a twelve year old should have died or lived is so funny 😭😭😭

DC can pretend that Jason knows who Tim is but I know the truth

It's Bruce's love language ☺️

Sometime in Gotham:

Jason Todd [on the phone]: How did the Joker die?

Damian Wayne [on the phone]: Cats ate his face.

Jason Todd: Damian, I think you’re confused. I’m asking about the Joker.

Damian Wayne: Cats ate his face.

Jason Todd: Look, would you just put Dick or Tim on the phone?

Dick Grayson: Hello?

Jason Todd: Dick, what happened to the Joker?

Dick Grayson: Cats ate his face. Here, Damian knows more about it than I do.
