#like a DETECTIVE

Something something Batman is a billionaire fascist discourse ignores the fact that Batman has his roots in the hardboiled detective story, which thematically was written at a time when trust in the police was at a catastrophic low and as such mainly deals with private detectives kinda extralegally cracking cases that the cops are either not solving or actively obstructing and his conflict with the police has remained a fairly consistent point in most of his stories outside the Golden Age of Comics, Commissioner Gordon is the exception not the rule something something
#Batman#DC#nerd shit#the point is Batman spends the majority of his not-Supervillain related time working on organized crime cases#like a DETECTIVE#most of which end up going right to the top in some fashion or another either the cops or the ultra-wealthy or both#another hallmark of hardboiled detective fiction#fucking hell his most popular New 52 arc was literally just about him fighting a cabal of super-rich people that shadow governed Gotham#this is very much a send an insane person with infinite time and money to fight other insane people with infinite time and money thing#like yeah sometimes he's portrayed patrolling the streets intervening in muggings and shit#but that's honestly a tiny minority of his time and the least efficient thing he could be doing at any given time#which is why he usually doesn't#both Batman Begins and The Batman covered this of like#he can't be everywhere he can't stop everyday crime#he can intervene when something's brought to his attention and he can take down big fish#and for everything else it's the simple fear of his existence that does the heavy lifting

Mission mode change detected, now in Monument Mode Goodnight friends. After exchanging our final bits of data,
I will hold vigil on this spot in Mare Crisium to watch humanity's continued journey to the stars.
Here, I will outlast your mightiest rivers, your tallest mountains, and perhaps even your species as we know it.
But it is remarkable that a species might be outlasted by its own ingenuity.
Here lies Blue Ghost, a testament to the team who, with the loving support of their families and friends, built and operated this machine and its payloads,
to push the capabilities and knowledge of humanity one small step further.
Per aspera ad astra!
Love, Blue Ghost

no you are actively crying over a dying robot on the moon i am doing just fine thanks
#blue ghost#space things#‘mission mode change detected now in monument mode’#are you fucking kidding me pals#i really really cannot#our dying robot emissary on the moon feels a bit too on the nose#for These Times#years ago chris hadfield gave a talk at the place where i worked#and he answered all kinds of questions about space and told us space facts#anyway he related that it’s hard to sleep in space#because you close your eyes and still see bursts of cosmic radiation#no matter what you do#and you have to be like strapped down on a table#or else you will float away#anyway#thinking space thoughts#good night blue ghost#never sleep

obviously people steal things from other people it's one of the oldest tricks in the book but it still always surprises me to learn that people plagiarise because my introduction to the concept was basically being told that if i ever plagiarised anything i would be executed by firing squad and my head would be removed and displayed on a spike outside the walls of the hallowed academic institution i was attending as a warning to others
#🐉#like they were not fucking around they were like you will be BLACKLISTED we will EXILE you there may be FINANCIAL RESTITUTION OWED#if our plagiarism software detects anything suspicious we will FLAY YOU ALIVE IN THE TOWN SQUARE#i still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes wondering if i cited my sources correctly

Struck from his vocabulary
Danny was talking to Sam and Tucker one day. He knew he was adopted but didn’t know anything about his birth parents. They had all tried to search between ghost attacks but hadn’t made any headway. Unfortunately Danny hadn’t been paying attention when he groaned out, “I wish I could learn who my bio parents are.”
Danny really thought he had struck the w word from his vocabulary. He realized his error when Desiree popped up and poofed him away after ‘granting his wish.’ Ending up in a fancy dining room with like 10 people staring at him startled, was even worse.
Danny growled. “Fudge! I said the Taboo!” He continued cursing (in book titles. No one could swear in Amity due to a previous w—h, it’s habit now). He was interrupted by one of them chuckling. “I’ve never heard anyone curse in book titles before, I’m stealing that.”
There was a sigh from a tired looking kid. “That honestly fits you.” Then the older looking man finally speaks up. “Can you tell us your name? And how you got here? What was that about a Taboo?”
Danny sighs. “I’m Danny. Can I get your names first so I know who I’m talking to?” After being introduced to the Waynes (not that Danny realizes who they are, he’s never been interested in celebrities unless it involves space), and the Butler Alfred insisting he sit down and eat (he was starving), Danny continues. “Anyway, the Taboo in our town is the w word. Say it and weird stuff happens. Like me disappearing from my home town to here. Where are we anyway?”
To say Danny had a mini freak out about ending up in Gotham from the middle of nowhere Illinois and how he was going to get home after finding out his new location…
#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dcxdp#who is Danny’s bio mom? good question but I was aiming for Danny being Damian’s half-brother#I like demon twins AU but wanted it a bit different this time#Danny isn’t going to know what is happening with the whole Batfam detective focus on him#I picture Danny as older than Damian by at least a year#The batfam quickly find out about Danny being Bruce’s son since they take secret blood tests with or without consent lol#Danny won’t be able to escape once they find out about his whole story.

Finally read Robins!
I have a lot of thoughts, but I just want to say this panel is the funniest thing I've ever seen:

#addressing Bruce as Batman is such a tell too#hilarious and fucked up#tim drake#bruce wayne#batfam#i continue to maintain that tim being a champion liar while looking like that has given him such an unfair advantage in life#no one suspects this awkward twink with survival skill-level excellence in lying to parental figures is lying to them#not even bruce#my dude this is why you are no longer the world's greatest detective#anyway#I fuckin' love tim drake#robin#robins (2022)

btw last week on jp twitter they were goncharov-ing a detective conan movie into existence lmao
it all started because of this twitter user pointing out that the Osaka Expo 2025 venue looks like a setting out of a detco movie (x)

then someone fixed the color, added "original work by gosho aoyama", and voila (x)

and then people just kept adding on to it, here's a few more:
they got teaser art posters (1) (2) (3)



a movie logo (x)


and a movie poster ofc (x)

btw if you were wondering wtf that weird blob creature is, it's Osaka Expo 2025's mascot:


oh yeah someone also made a whole ass movie trailer (x)
and end credits too but i can't upload 2 videos so here's the link (x)
someone even made an agasa quiz lmao (x)

someone also brainrotted so hard they managed to gather hattori, kaitou kid, amuro, and akai all in one movie (x)

anyway, we've cracked the code. we can explode any place just by adding "original work by gosho aoyama" (x) (x)


#detective conan#dcmk#kudou shinichi#edogawa conan#detco#i just wanted to share this cos it was hilarious to see go down lmfao#right before the showing of m28 too LOOOOL#i was contemplating whether or not to add the posters since it is art by people but i wanted to fully deliver how much of a community thing#this whole fake conan movie happened so i added it there but with credit#i've actually put links for all the tweets i added here so if you have a twitter account please rt and drop them a like!#im troubled by the posting of posters still esp since ive seen art reposters here for a while now so i just didnt post the art itself just#a screenshot from the account! please check them out!!!#dc prattles#also that person who brainrotted and added kaitou kid into the fray....heheheh you mustve been inside my brain heheheheh
