Imagine sending your kid away to a boarding school, and the guy that has been developing a father/son relationship with him (which may be one of the reason you are sending your kid away) sends his butler to be your son's VALET at his school. Personally, I would lose my mind. Is he trying to prove something to you??? Is he actually competing for your child's affection like divorced parents??? Your son is probably the only one at his school to have a valet, he is giving your son the prince treatment. WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?!?!

are you sure about that lex because these are some interesting words coming from the mouth of someone who created a clone child of the man that also uses your own dna.

talk about how much you hate the guy all you want, but his family shouldn’t have the option of putting your name up on the family tree, alexander.

not once did it cross my mind that flirting was a real thing people did. thought it was just something they made up for popular heist show Leverage and female superhero antagonists

funniest part of jojo's bizzare adventure part 3 is that fact that the team (consisting of 2 adult men, an old man, a teenager, and a dog) regularly had to rely on a 17-year-old smoker who's special power is to punch things really hard and who says "good grief" all the time. funniest team dynamic ever

YA fantasy protagonist who discovers magical secret world and is like oh finally a place when i can be accepted but no there bigotry here also. it’s just extra stupid because of the whole magic element.

the head of the government/organization/whatever is still just as transphobic as their Real World principal/boss/parents/whoever, except now instead of just having to deal with it the vaguely antagonistic trickster character randomly shows up and is like hey, remember when madame inverna said you’d never be a real girl? well i just cut off all her hair in her sleep and released a small family of darkness-eating rats in her home lol. so at least there’s that

imagine you and your wife get poisoned by a cult and when you wake up not only do you find out your wife didn’t make it but also billionaire playboy philanthropist Bruce Wayne is actively stealing your son. your boy’s not even home half the time when you get back because he’s always at Mr Wayne’s place. getting picked up by his butler. Bruce Wayne knows your son’s school life better than you do. pretty sure he’s got his report card hanging up on the fridge and everything.

“oh you’re just being dramatic Bruce Wayne isn’t actually stealing your son—”

wrong! not even 2 seconds after your death and guess who’s getting adopted by Bruce Wayne. that’s his son now. dude straight up stole your son.

did they gender/race bend that comic book character or were you, a movie-only fan, just unaware that that character has been different people over the years

hey past me guess what.

the thing that makes batman batman is that he’s always there to catch you when you fall

[notbreadman]

i mean this so genuinely but this exact reason is why i think batman as a character doesn’t really work without robin. you miss something very crucial about what makes him tick if you remove the context of him being someone’s father/mentor figure

battinson adopting dick grayson and that's when the paranoia kicks in. in the movie he doesn't care what happens to him(or so he says, but he keeps himself away from anything too bad for Alfred's sake. most of the time.) But then dick grayson is angry and becomes Robin and suddenly it's like

"oh I need to upgrade the shit out of our suits." "the bat cave needs to be cleaner and we need more lights in here. what if he hurts himself??" "if i keep hitting these criminals this hard it might make robin think its ok. that's probably bad right?" "I NEED to work out so I can protect him holy shit he is TINY"

and thus, Bruce "paranoid" Wayne was created.

every single one of the book-length stories I’ve either written or plan on writing feature all four of these characters without fail:

- the native of the unfamiliar

-obligatory mad scientist + mask wearing character

-inhuman entity

-the struggler

they’re simply necessary to tell a good story, y’know? can’t write one without them

if i was a citizen of a fictional country and i found out my president/king is also a SUPERHERO i'd be so pissed

sorry i need to finish this thought:

he’s supposed to be Batman’s successor, expect he can’t be because Cass is the heir. or Damian. either way - it’s not him. he’s so much like Bruce and yet he can never truly follow in his footsteps. the best he can do is take over as ceo for Wayne Enterprises. do the job that nobody else was fit for and yet still doesn’t compare

Nightwing is Batman's greatest success and Red Hood is his greatest failure and in the same way, i think Cassandra Cain is his clone and Tim Drake is like, the failed clone.

his entire purpose was to be Batman's partner - be there for him when he fell too deep. but now he doesn't need that anymore, and he has a new partner. Tim's entire identity is molded around someone who's outgrown his need for him. which is obviously good for Bruce. but now where does that leave Tim? he was better than the rest and set up to maybe someday fill in the big man's shoes and now... nothing. and it's not even a personal struggle within to get explored in future storylines the writers just straight up don't know what to do with him. he doesn't know who he is outside of Robin and frankly neither does anyone else. so they make him Robin again. cuz what else is he supposed to be
