Even years before he wrote All-Star Batman & Robin: The Boy Wonder, Frank Miller was doing the whole “I’m the Godd*mn Batman” meme as far back as both The Dark Knight Returns & The Dark Knight Strikes Again!

The more I think about it, I think the reason Franky-Boy constantly repeated the “Godd*mn Batman” line in ASBAR was less because he was reacting negatively to the fact that it became an internet meme, and more that “godd*mn” is just Miller’s favorite word in general…

I’m honestly surprised that @atopfourthwall never mentioned these either panels in his TDKR or TDKSA reviews. Another potential future missed opportunity of AT4W maybe?

One of Bruce's go-to moves is bluffing and it drives him crazy that Clark knows how to read him well enough to always call them. So even though the Justice League is sweating bullets after Batman's latest pronouncement, Clark crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow and Bruce is furious he's got to fold. Same goes for when Bruce lies about his capabilities after an injury, or makes a threat.

rewatching Justice League (the animated series) and thinking about Bruce's inner monologue and secret identity things <3

You know how there are those rare occasions when Batman will team up with a villain?

Can you imagine how funny it would be if during those team ups that specific rogue gets an insider look at how the Batfamily operates/interacts with each other?

I feel like it'd be like those situations where you're at a friend's house and said friend starts arguing with their parent and you're just stuck there like "🧍‍♂️" except in this case, it's just everyone arguing with everyone.

The team-up would be going well at first but then all it takes is one snide remark from one batkid for chaos to unfold.

Suddenly it's like a bomb has been set off, triggering a cascade of catastrophes. Red Robin and Robin are screaming at each other, knives are thrown, someone is crying, out of NOWHERE the Red Hood comes in and shoots Batman's kneecaps, which, hello?? where did he even come from?? Isn't he on the their side?? Did the Signal just jump off the building without a grapple gun?? Nightwing is trying to calm everyone down, no one listens to him, and Red Robin has just launched Robin off the side of the building like a football.

Everything is hell, Batman has three batarangs lodged in his armor and has lost all motor functions below his knees but has not said a single word throughout it all.

The Red Hood has just rigged the building they are standing atop of with bombs. The mission is never completed.

The rogue decides to never step foot in Gotham ever again.

Bonus:

This is also how that same villain discovers the batfam's identity: They see one interview with all the Waynes together, watches how one small thing sets off all the children to start outright attacking each other, notices how vaguely familiar all of this is..

and the rogue is just sat there, mouth open, squinting at the interview clip like "No fucking way"

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

thinking again about that time tim broke into dick’s apartment in bludhaven and immediately started making fun of his home security the moment dick walked in the door 

nightwing (1996) issue 6

and then the next time we see someone break into dick’s apartment (this time it’s a stranger trying to rob him) we find out that he has installed a human-sized glue trap in front of his home entertainment system (and coincidentally, right next to the window)

nightwing (1996) issue 12

this is a cartoonishly deranged thing for dick to put in his apartment as actual security but also i believe with my whole heart that this was meant for tim. this is cruel and unusual punishment for some random home invader but completely justified if it was actually meant to clown on one’s annoying younger brother all along

thinking of that one comic where red hood is fighting dick and robin!tim iirc and he’s like “i’m not scared of you!” and then cass appears out of nowhere and says “hello” and jason goes “FUCK”

(In a makeshift interrogation room)

Batman: Who are you?

Lord Death-Man: I am Lord Death-Man, your greatest nyemesis!

Batman, turning behind him:

Red Hood: There's a reason I wanted to shoot him, B. I really wanna kill him.

Batman:

Batman: Understandable.

Robin, drawing his sword: Permission enough.

Batman: Robin, no-

I'm begging for every person who says "Batman beats up the poor and the mentally ill" to read a fucking comic.

Like yeah Gotham and Batman are great allegories to blind fate, injustice, fascism and corruption you just took the worst and fucking dumbest take possible
