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 fanon 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.

I agree with classist Alfred but I am always a believer in him hating Steph the most. Like when Tim was pissed at Bruce for telling Steph his identity Alfred was defending him with “oh you know he’s bad at communicating, and he takes secret identities very seriously yadda yadda yadda.” But in the Same Issue he tells Steph he blames her for upsetting Tim by being told his identity by Bruce (which I can’t state enough how little it was her fault, like she did try to find his identity in the past, but this was an entirely unrelated event where Bruce just straight up came up to her and told her) and he thinks it was a bad idea for Bruce to add her to the team.

I think for Alfred Steph and Jason are on the same level in the sense they're the lowest class out of all the bat children as such they both deserve the least respect especially compared to Tim who is himself from an upper class background

Ooo, where was Mabel when Ford came to kill Bill/got sucked back through the portal? What does she think when several Henchmaniacs died to him? (Well, at least *one* according to J3 lol)

okay, so imma try to explain this with a proper verbal explanation, but also with, you guessed it, crappy doodles! hopefully the amount of them will make up for the crappyness, lmao

so, as normal, Ford shows up to destroy Bill. Mabel is there just like the rest of the henchmaniacs.

Just like in canon, Bill sends them all to fight Ford for him.

But Bill stops Mabel and doesn't let her go fight.

He doesn't try to keep Mabel safe because he cares about her (or at least he doesn't want that to be the reason) but because he knows that will only provoke Ford more.

Mabel decides to help Bill instead of standing at the side. She can't let one of the only people she relies on to die!

Ford is fighting 2 v 1, and especially considering he's fighting against a demon god, he gets caught up in the fight and almost gets hit by Mabel again.

He doesn't mean to, but he points his weapon at her. He never wanted to hurt her in any way, just to get her out of there, but his instincts betrayed him.

Bill teleports Mabel away, and gets back to fighting Ford.

Just like in canon when Ford decides to leave instead of killing Bill, he also leaves the nightmare realm without trying to rescue Mabel first. He feels sorry for her, but he doesn't even know who she is.

woala. amazing, 10/10 storytelling, hopefully it made you cry

sort of related to the above but Liam saying that the increasing number of perspectives is making Orym even more convinced the best option is not unleashing Predathos is a great point, like, if no one can provide a definitive answer and you know that the current situation is flawed but fixable without unleashing Predathos, then...do that, particularly since the people trying to unleash Predathos are doing the bulk of the murders.
