not even an elseworlds story about cthulhu is free of showing us the death of batman's parents oh my god
#personal#lovecraftian batman lb#i don't get as annoyed by it as most people but i do have a bit of a bone to pick with it#just cuz i think the overuse of it and the lack of sensitivity used towards it#given how ubiquitously known it is in pop culture#has really kinda dulled the teeth of the death of batman's parents#like what happened to bruce that night is such a monstrously horrific thing to go through#he was eight years old and his parents were shot dead in front of him in cold blood for no reason#and he had to sit with their bodies until he was found and the killer was never caught and he had to live with watching them die#watching his parents DIE be murdered in a particularly gruesome way before he'd even lived for ten years#that's awful that's such a horrible thing to happen to a little boy#if we read about that happening on the news we'd all have a very visceral reaction#and because batman media is SO oversaturated with retreading that ground without wanting to focus on what a terrible thing it was#it really takes the punch out of it#don't show the death of the waynes until it's actually necessary guys god#anyway that's my rant for the day back to the movie
