#Batman Armour

[swugflower]

Thank, random Batman History Book about Batman that I read while killing some time.

I, too, think it’s very important to show off Batman’s ass while writing about him.

Wrong.

There was a storm outside and the rain was pounding furiously on the windows of the mansion. Alfred was making hot tea in the kitchen, humming something under his breath, while they were playing Scrabble. Well, not really playing, rather Dick was trying to turn the table over because "who the hell uses onomatopoeia in their vocabulary?!" and Jason was openly mocking him because "you would know if you read something other than instruction for air freshener". Soon, the board game turned into a tongue-pointing competition and disguised middle finger pointing.

Bruce was smiling softly at their childish bickering, when suddenly realized that for the first time in many years he wasn't armed. Because he didn't want to be. Because there was no one to defend against.

Haha, what if Battinson but Werebat...?

But he keeps the bat ears during the day too. (Based him off a silver-haired bat, pictures off of google below)

Red Robin was chatting with Spoiler on the rooftops when they heard something odd. Looking up they saw a bright green swirling portal open up in the sky and what looked like a black plane burst out of it, the fact it was smoking and descending at an odd angle told them the plane had likely been hit

Before they had time to react the plane crashed into and through a few buildings, changing its direction a few times like a demented bouncy ball before skidding to a stop in the streets just outside the Hoods territory.

By the time they got there Red Hood was already freaking out and aiming his gun at a glowing green puppy that was barking angrily at him. They joked a bit about Hood being afraid of such a small dog until he admitted the pit water inside him was freaking out.

The plane(?) Itself seemed to be leaking a glowing green ooze that seemed a little too similar for comfort as the black plane turned silver for an unknown reason. RR took to collecting samples from the varying consistencys of liquids while Spoiler went inside to check for survivors. The place looked trashed, items and papers scattered all over the floors along with broken beakers and other lab equipment, there was even a toppled over fridge she had to walk around.

Slumped in the pilot seat was a glowing boy with white hair who couldn't have been much younger than her and RR. Placing fingers on his neck she searched for a pulse and was dismayed to find nothing. The boy was already ice cold.

Carrying the boy out was no problem, he was concerningly light and scrawny, making her wonder what type of life he had lived before crashlanding in Gotham. Meeting eyes with Batman, who had just arrived on the scene with Robin, she shook her head and everyone had a moment of silence.

That silence was broken by a startled Robin when the puppy decided to play tug o war with his cape. Robin managed to convince Batman to let him keep the dog by pointing out it glowed and was likely to be experimented on if it was left at a shelter.

After getting home and sending everyone to bed Batman headed over to wear he had layed the boys remains, turned on a bright medical light over him and readied a scalpel.

This is how Phantom woke up in the batcave about to be dissected.

everytime i see batman in that dumb grey skinsuit a little part of me dies

You know what? Fuck Batman and DC writers trying to gaslight me that what Jason does is wrong and dishonest and yara yara yara.

It's so fucking boring at this point.

And just blatantly wrong.

First of all, you cannot just say "oh but thats just bad you're a bad person >:c" at THIS POINT in comics. Because after pushing gray area morals and realism that y'all (writers) braggg SOO MUCH about it. Just going "murder bad >:c you bad >>>:ccc IT'S FUCKING STUPID."

For example. By the comics, (depending in what you believe) Tim Drake is a cheater. Is that what a good person does? In a black and white view. No, it is not therefore Tim is bad. Bruce is a fucking hypocrite who protect and revive a literal mass murder and doesn't hold up the same energy for his own children (HE RAISED) . Nightwing committed murder. Gordon constantly makes exceptions violating the law and his duties as a cop for random non affiliated vigilantes. Harley is irredeemable, because not only she kills and has killed before but also does it for fun. Talia, Damian, hell, even Cass are all murders in certain degrees. Even CATWOMAN wouldn't be saved . That being said. Does the comics considers them a horrible bad villainous people? >:((.

No, because they're fucking human beings and human beings fuck things up. Specially considering multiple circumstances they've been through: social, mental, developing, physical, environmental. It's realistic.

Yeah, so why when it comes for Jason. It's all fucking black and white.

But this is not a Jason apologist post, so if you hoping this take will be "Jason did nothing wrong" you going to be disappointed. Hold up a little because I'm gonna get to the point.

Listen here. I'm all for reparatory justice, honestly most of the time no matter how much it despises me, I do agree with Batman. But unlike him, I and maany people of the fandom, we just have- you know, common sense???

The problem with Batman, Nightwing (well hell why not) and Jason is that those three idiots lack of common sense. Their sense of justice seems like it comes from 14 year old boys. They're all are so trapped in their own traumas and struggles that they NEVER. EVER. Try to look outside their asses and view the villain-gotham-situation from a far away point of view.

Again I blame the writers. Because when they have good writing the generally do have braincells to analyze that.

You >>CANNOT<<. Hold the same energy you have with a mugger and with the fucking Joker. It doesn't make sense. It's just damn right stupid. It's cannon (and even true outside of comics) that the majority of people who turn to crime, are people who had nothing to begin with. Most of them are working class. Most of them are already born in the goddammit CRIME ALLEY. Most of them start before even turning into adults.

It's stated multiple times. That Gotham is a hard city to survive, it is filled with crime. Jason's first contact with crime and drugs and dealers was when he was younger than 10 years old. It's not just stupid, but also dishonest to pretend he was the only one, and all those muggers and henchmen are just terrible people that are there by choice because they're evil and need to be punished and killed. >:C

Some might be, but how the fuck would you know??

Because tale as old as time, if the system is as fucked as a gas leaking, shooting your way out of there isn't going to solve shit. You shoot this mugger today and next day it's going to be another one. There's a fucking reason why countries with high education and opportunities have less crime. There's a reason why gotham is corrupted and cursed. You cannot save everyone. Some people doesn't even want to be saved.

But shooting them is definitely doing more harm them good. Because they were just a mugger but their children might become a killer in ten years because you wanted to play god.

And at the same time. We cannot pretend that a man who went to prison million times. Who has been treated with 181838 who knows how many psychologists, therapists, psychiatrist. Who shows no remorse is as redeemable as someone who is taking cellphones and purses on street for money. Specially a man who tells you over and over again that they will kill, abuse, torture anyone (even people as close to you as possible) and everyone no matter how many times you arrest him and send him away. We cannot act like everybody is made of steal and it's not going to fucking snap at a person like that.

Let's not pretend a single man with flesh and bone have the right to decide what a serial killer fate should be just because he and the killer have a connection 🥺 And he can save him 🥺. And he have a code 😩. And what if he cannot hold himself anymore after 😳😳. Batman should have no authority on how people (people who were directly affected FOR LIFE by Joker) should react/respond to him, but YET DC keep trying to convince us he does.

Its pathetic.

Not killing is a thing. Constantly saving a murder is another.

And I go back to the central point because how Batman, Nightwing and Redhood react to different criminals it's honestly fully dependent on the writer and no one else. And oh boy, how many different interpretations we had over the years huh.

The point is. Both. BOTH. Of their point of view is flawed. You cannot hold your WHOLE belief system in a moral code with less than 10 words. I mean you can, but it won't last. Every situation is a situation. Every person is a person. There isn't no all right and all wrong all done recipe to deal with every fucking criminal existent. And the whole fact that two stubborn man hold into that belief systems with their damn life anyway is the most realistic thing of this setting.

"Jason is a murder and murder is wrong". Therefore "Jason is always wrong and Batman have the right to punish him >:c" Is one of the stupidest takes I've seen a comic book make in a while and I still don't know how they keep getting away with it.

Specially in how his punishments and mistreating coming from his own family are portrayed in the comics.

I don't give a fuck about what Batman think, and I'm goddam tired of Jason's whole arc is reapeating this whole dynamic over and over again.

You want to criticize Redhoods methods??? Then stop being a pussy and do it right addressing the real fucking problems about it.

Address how the people he killed before had a family and how they had to cope with their loss. How the fuck they survived and what they had to do to sustain themselves. Address how a single man cannot logistically always be certain of his informations and background checks, because not even an entire fucking justice system MADE FOR THAT can, and one day sooner or later Jason is going to be wrong. Address how when he plays double agent it doesn't undo the jobs he done for literally mob bosses. And how it doesn't matter he despites and hates himself and how self aware he is he still playing a part in this system as well as Batman does. As Bruce milionaire Wayne does.

And how at some point of his life he will have to confront the fact that. Yeah it was fucked. Yeah it was horrible he didn't deserve that. Fuck yeah Batman sucks. Nightwing sucks. They're all hypocrites. Fuck Joker. He didn't chose to be here. All of that.

But still, in real life, in this present moment. It is Jason fucking Todd who is chosing to do exactly what he's does.

Not Batman. Not Nightwing. Not Joker. Not pretender. Not his mom. Not his biologic father. Not his trauma. Him.

And no "Holly shit you become everything you hate because of the circumstances" and poetic irony regarding his biological dad is going to erase that.

Any day by now, eventually, it should be the consequences of his actions that would bite him in the ass. Not Batman.

Until then it doesn't matter what edgy angst violent discourse and or comic run regarding moral code and what the fuck Batman or the Batfam thinks of Jason's way of living and how does that affect him. I will not give a single fuck about it.

As I said before you have million reasons to criticize Jason life style but don't try to make me care bringing constantly the most stupid and lazy-writing one.

[overheard-on-base]

Nicholas, what happened to the Boss' pinky finger? had a bloke say Joker cut it off, another said the Boss bit it off, told my niece yesterday that he lost it cus he didn't eat his vegetables. Just a little concerned.

p.s. Darla eats her greens now! so thank Boss for that!

I honestly have no idea, last week Ellis, that scrawny little medic, asked him and he looked at his hand and screamed like he hadn't realized.

On the other hand, no pun intended, one of the brutes, Siobhan, said that he told her he never had that bit of his finger.

I don't know what to think and frankly I'm afraid to ask.

ANYWAY. Day 1, doing a middle one: Living Armour Au

So first off, the world is a mixture of modern, normal DC, and fantasy. Y'know, still large cities and more modern aspects like cameras and TVs and such, but they're run by magic and runes instead of just electricity if that makes sense.

Now if monsters had scientific classifications (not that people haven't tried) then Living Armor would be something between a golem and a ghost. They can be purposely created, or just end up happening from enough magic seeping in an area.

The batfamily are still vigilantes, though the proper term would probably be closer to guardians, and don't even exactly have civilian identities. They've straight up said this to the league after it's formed, but they think that they're, well, not exactly joking but trying to get them to drop it.

No they're being literal when they motion to the helmets or masks, and the shadows inside, and say that's their face. Their skin is the metal and leather, their muscles the same, their bones the magic within. And not all of them are more knight-like in design either. Alfred (and Tim) have more plague-doctor esque inspiration, Dick has archer armour, Jason and Duke more mage-esque designs, etc.

The rest of the heroes? Utterly oblivious, despite the fact that the Bats are for a very long time sure they know. They told them, it should be obvious right?!

@brains-out-rn I believe it was you who asked about this one?
