what she means: bruce wayne is not even in my top5 batfam characters but i love all his kids and the supporting characters who sometimes hang out with him to help him protect gotham and also some of the batman rogues that are more like awkward anti-heroes than actual bad guys…and also bruce when he is not written like an ass
Hi, Clair. I’d like to come in and talk with you. Would that be all right?
This is the Batman we need to see more often. The one who remembers what it was like to be a scared child, one who knows how to handle situations delicately.
One of the reason why I love batman so much. He is portrayed as a very careful and guarded man. But he is probably the most human out of anyone. It’s why he is the knight that gotham deserves.
Re: that last panel –
Batman, when he’s written correctly, is an extremely compassionate person.
I always feel the need to reblog this because it’s definitely something I feel was lost in the Nolan films.
We need this Batman. This is the Batman we need.
This Batman got lost in the fake geek boy fantasy of the violent vigilante 😦
Batman is your worst nightmare until he runs into a small child.
No but that’s the best part and that’s the part that the Nolan films left out!
Batman is your worst nightmare on BEHALF OF that small child.
When it comes right down to it, the entire Batman story is about someone who was robbed of their innocence as a child and WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY GOES THROUGH WHAT HE DID. Part of that includes taken down the bad guys but part of that also includes making sure that people are okay.
That’s whu he’s so empathetic.
That’s also why there are so many morally grey characters in Batman. (Or at least, there SHOULD be, when written well.) Because he knows that it’s not just about beating people up.
It’s about saving people.
Even the ones who have done harm.
Batman IS one of the most empathetic heroes out there and that’s why he’ll always be my favorite.
That’s also why the Nolan films didn’t sit right with me. They tried so hard to be dark and gritty and philosophical that they stripped away the atmosphere and the themes that made Batman so great.
Also I know that I mention this once a week but Batman: The Animated Series did a fantastic job at this, on top of everything else!
Literally everything about Batman is so much better when you think about all the little behind the scenes things that must have happened to make Bruce such a goddamn dad
Like yeah he’s really bad with change and his communication abilities are really lacking due to being extremely heavily isolated and traumatized for the majority of his formative years, but like
I am at least 99% convinced that all the bat-named things like the batmobile, batcomputer, batfridge, etc., were originally normal phrases like ‘the car,’ ‘the computer,’ etc., but then Robin showed up he started calling them bat-things because he was nine, and Batman went along with it.
It’s too late to turn back now. Too late to make excuses to anyone. He’s committed. Nightwing doesn’t say anything. The other Robins have no idea. No one has any idea.
Everyone thinks Batman is legitimately obsessed with bats.
No, he just wanted his cave to be child-friendly, and when it turned out Robin #1 really liked the bat idea and thought it was cool enough that it should be incorporated into everything, Batman fucking incorporated it into everything. He just wanted to make the kid happy, damnit
