#i know that man smells rancid but.... i love u batman......#also i love u children of gotham.....#always thinking about how their lives are impacted by the city#the horror tales you whisper at sleepovers and making up crimes from his rogues gallery#the speculation of batman. do you outgrow believing in him like santa?#or are the older children more likely to believe a man is capable and selfless enough to try and help night after night?#the blurry photos from shaky hands. how many photos of batman are from a lower angle where he's at his most towering#because it was taken by a child that managed to get one#do you share it? online for other fans? to your friends to prove his existence; especially if teased for believing in him?#or do you keep it safe and private with the comfort no one will tell you the image is fake or its an impersonator and plant a seed of doubt#the friend arguments on who's batman and who's robin. the teens argue on whos riddler and who's joker#some teens go as harvey and show printed legal documents as a gag#a tragedy of who he once was seemingly so from the person that they now laugh at it#how many robins bruce saw after jasons death and how they twisted an knife inside him#he couldn't protect his little boy but he'll protect them. he has to. its expected of him.#yet seeing those flashes of red or yellow and its a nauseating wave of grief he cant fight off but can only fight through#the children innocent enough to trick or treat. the knowledge that each year theres less and less because#parents don't feel comfortable sending their children out or that they go while theres still some light in the sky. home before dark.#the candy he keeps stored in his belt and replaces with the same necessary and stakes as replacing the batarangs with sharp and fresh ones.#c: dcu halloween special (2008)#crypt's panels#batman#bruce wayne#posts from the crypt#transcrypts
