the thing about knightfall is. I've seen bruce-batman do shit that violent and that cruel to random perps before let alone the truly dangerous rogues. and not only in other media but ALSO in mainline comics (some mainline comics older than this even) so. I acknowledge jean paul-batman is presented as soooo much worse and sooooo unhinged immediately after putting on the cowl, even before he does anything really drastic, but also uh. it does require suspending my disbelief a little bit that everyone is SO SHOCKED about how UN-BRUCE-LIKE he's acting. I can do it! but part of me is like....... fam I'm not buying this.

#a few days ago I watched btas!bruce drag a guy across a river and utterly terrify him #you know. btas bruce. the one with the super compassionate reputation lmao #very much in line to how we’re only meant to care about excessive violence if CERTAIN characters use it #but if it’s bruce #or gordon #or clark #or or or #well that’s just fine #that’s just dandy #they’re Good People TM and Know What They’re Doing and Do It Because It’s Necessary etc. etc.#I’m not discovering anything new here lol. it’s just that Knightfall in particular is being very unsubtle about it xD #(especially in the issue written by Dixon MY GOD)#dc #dc comics #knightfall #bruce wayne #jean paul valley #my thoughts #dc thoughts #tim in particular has seen bruce behave worse like this (and it would be a lot more interesting if tim compared them in that vein -inside h #because idk that he'd say the quiet part outloud at this point in time lol).#eta: obviously this changes after he attacks tim. but in terms of perps when the arc starts i'm being told not shown
