controversial take but am I the only one here who doesn't like the new superbat

honestly love superbat just fine, but superbat in the form of david corenswet and robert pattison just doesn't click for me

robert pattison batman isn't even confirmed to be part of the current dcu so it feels like yall are stealing david corensweat superman away from whoever his in-canon batman is gonna be

like according to james gunns dcu timeline thingy, batman has supposedly already started his robin collection and will up to his fifth(?) one by 2027? 2028?

that means new dcu superbat is supposed to be david corenswet with his perpetually tired emo single-parent boyfriend

like if robert pattison batman turns out to be part of the dcu then thats great, I'll accept it but he betterr have started his collection of sad angry orphans

I WILL ONLY ACCEPT SUPERBAT IF CLARK KENT BAGS AN ANGSTY TIRED SINGLE-PARENT DADDY

iida tenya walked into ua on his first day and aizawa and mic did not react because hes always looked like that even when he was a baby. he came out of the womb politely requesting Protein

Among Us BNHA Parody :D

Today’s impostors are Shinsou and Izuku!

Shinsou: (Should I brainwash this guy..?)

Deku: (which route and alibi should I take hmm)

Oh no!

Exposed super quickly?!

When in doubt, try to buy time!

Todoroki: !! That was my original plan!! Deku covered in questionable substance

And so, Todoroki joins the party! (Was there even any hesitation...)

Todoroki: The other time I got stuck attempting the card swipe for two rounds...but nobody believed me...

Izuku: ...
