Do people who say "Batman says no metas in Gotham" realise that metas include anyone with powers and super abilities, the vast majority of whom are civilians with no affiliation to superheroics or supervillainy. No metas in Gotham in reality would mean kicking out some random school teacher who in an accident suddenly developed the ability to teleport and mostly uses it to arrive to their school earlier and stay later for the kids. No metas in Gotham means forcibly removing an Amazon who is married to a local Gothamite. No metas in Gotham means an alien raised on Earth can't go to Gotham University without the Big Bad Bat showing up at their dorm room. No metas in Gotham mean existing meta characters from Gotham are awkwardly ignored or actively included just to be kicked out of their own city. No metas in Gotham means erasing the history of superheroes like Alan Scott and Dinah Drake who lived in and protected Gotham years before Batman arrived on the scene.

And no, jokes about how the Bats friends totally get a free pass under his seemingly totalitarian rule don't make it better. Having Duke around as the token 'good one' does not make it better. Not when its mere existence involves a 'hero' is systemically targeting a group based on immutable traits.

And if you're thinking that sounds dark that's because the whole fanon joke revolves around Batman being the kind of person who wants to keep an entire community people out of 'his' city because he believes their biology makes them an innate threat. That is horrifying. That has strong racist and xenophobic implications. That is high-key super villain behaviour. In fact, anti-meta crusaders are literally the villains of the recent Power Company books because it's a pretty clear allegory for real world bigotry.

If you want to keep this as a trait for his character then you have to make it a really negative one. If you want to have it be a misunderstanding among the Justice League because he just wants no other heroes crime fighting there (never going to happen by the way) that means some members of the League are going to think he's an absolute racist asshole. I'm just saying if Oliver 'Batman is a fascist' Queen had this idea he'd be throwing hands with Bruce daily. If you want to explore it as a dark-Batman villain AU? That sounds cool actually, I'd read that tbh.

Whatever you do, don't imagine little Bruce Wayne trying to shake his parents awake; Don't picture him trying to restart their hearts while their blood is drying on his face. Don't think about little hands drenched with red. Don't think about Bruce laying on Thomas' corpse to be held for the last time before they go in the ground.

Hal Jordan wasn’t drinking too much. He wasn’t. He was just unwinding after a long week, alone in his apartment, being responsible. With a few beers. And maybe a little whiskey, just a little. There was a space documentary on the Discovery Channel that he’d seen before, about Russian and American satellite programs in the 1980s, and he was watching it anyway. Unwinding. A thought occurred to him and he was not giggling drunkenly while he sent Barry Allen some messages. He was just chuckling, calmly, because it was a little funny and he was a man with a refined sense of humor.

Hal Jordan fell asleep on his couch, which was intentional because his couch was comfortable, and woke with a pounding head a full hour after his alarm had given up. It was a rare day off, so it didn’t matter, which is why he’d been okay with some drinking the night before. He had vague memories of sending Barry something hilarious and he scrambled for his phone, unplugged the charger, and checked for a reply. He blinked. He blinked again.

With a rapidly growing sense of dread, a feeling not unlike being sucked into the wide maw of a blood-thirsty planet-eater, he checked his other messages.  Hal Jordan was sitting on the couch in his apartment when his world ended.

With the panic of a man given an hour or less to live, he made his arrangements.

With the desperation of a man pleading with the Fates, he made a last-ditch effort to save himself, pacing frantically and aimlessly in his living room while he typed.

Resigned, his head throbbing like a klaxon, he sat down to die. Many miles away, Bruce Wayne sat at his desk in his locked office, making a noise like a wounded animal with lung problems. It was laughter.

I've just seen a short video about how a lot of people have a very black and white perception of trust - either you trust fully or not, when in reality it can be much more nuanced and you can trust or not trust ppl with different things, for example when you have a friend who you trust with keeping your secret but do not trust to be on time or to provide good advice. And this made me think of Bruce, because both in canon and in fanon his trust is also often treated as black and white. He either has to trust someone fully, or it doesn't count. Like the existence of his counter plans alone means he doesn't trust JL at all, even though he had entrusted his own life and lives of civilians to them before. Or when fanon works treat it like he is wrong for keeping his identity secret from his romantic partner, and that it means there was no trust in the relationship at all. Hello, do you confess every single one of your secrets immediately after getting into a relationship?

Thoughts on halbruce?

Love them, one of my favorite ships in DC, and it's honestly sad because a lot of the content with them isn't actually my cup of tea 😔

like, it's no one's resposibility to draw/write what I like, but I do wish more people saw them the way I do......

Anyway, I think Hal is a very touchy lover. He needs human touch, it helps ground him after the cold emptiness of space. So he will hug and hold hands and play with Bruce's hair. And Bruce will let him
