Bruce picking up a gun and shooting at Jason in Batman #158 is actually him being a good father and engaging in Jason's interests with him (shooting people). smh fandom asks for good dad bruce but then can't stand how it manifests in comics....

Deathstroke (1991) #7-8

I might ask some like, follow-up questions here Bruce

[fredricwertham]

Not exactly an impersonation, but one of my favorite moments:

Deathstroke (1991) #8

Slade crashes Bruce’s New Year’s Eve party in a tux he stole from Bruce’s closet

slade & bruce - impersonating each other

bruce impersonates slade to adeline, slade's ex-wife deathstroke (2016) #35

slade impersonates bruce to roy, one of dick's best friend outsiders (2003) #21

slade (and rose) impersonate bruce (and cass) to kon and cyborg, one of tim's best friends (and cass's ex) and one of dick's best friends teen titans (2003) #23

do you prefer Dick being 18 or 21 when he leaves robin and becomes Nightwing?

Batman #416 is my favorite account of their breakup (rare perfect issue💕) so I’m an age 19 truther:

It’s also important to me that they’re Batman & Robin for at least 10 years—which is what you get if he starts at 9–but that Dick’s still a teenager when Bruce gives him to boot.

notes from the editors + authors + artist in the end of infinite crisis (geoff johns, phil jimenez, eddie berganza, jeanine shaefer)

"i liked batman admitted that grayson was the person most important to him"

enough women have died in the dcu. superboy was my favorite titan. and i literally had to offer him as a sacrificial lamb

though i can't think of a character who would have a greater impact than nightwing dying. "just in terms of links to other characters, though, dick has so many connections to other characters. in many ways, even more than superman or batman, nightwing is the soul, the linchpin, of the dcu. he's well respected by everyone, known by the jla, titans, the outsiders, birds of prey -- everyone looks to him for advice, for friendship, for his skills. he's the natural leader of the dcu. his loss would devastate everyone and create ripples through the dcu."

favorite line: "booster. you have no idea how to talk to kids." [laughs] like yeah, Bruce you should be giving advice...

i was very distressed by batman here. he was being so mean to alfred.

Bat Family Fact Files from DC Comics: The Ultimate Character Guide

Baby's first bat family. Sorry, there wasn't a Black Bat.

My favourite bit is that Steph's epithet is "Daring Defender" while Tim's is "Daring Detective".

Batman and Catwoman by Chris Samnee

[fredricwertham]

“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

–Tarantino’s Incarnational Theology: Reservoir Dogs, Crucifixions, and Spectacular Violence. Kent L. Brintnall.
