ok you know what to be fair, batman is a good character. bruce wayne is written well and hes complicated, abd he wants his batfam to do good things with their lives.
its these writers who think bruce wayne HAS to go toe to fucking toe with his kids in order to teach them a lesson or to get his point across that make me angry. like. yall dont need to keep doing this trope.
im so sick of this like “if you go against your father than you get beaten” subcontext thats continuously written into his stories over and over again. its nasty and i just want a bruce wayne/batman whos nice.
batman wont kill because he thinks itll make him just as bad as the villains hes trying to stop, and itll “prove that hes a bad person”, but! people dont stop to think that a father using a power imbalance to force his kids into his way of living and thinking is wrong?????? and like its not just a one time thing!! HE KEEPS DOING IT!!!!!
writers dont think that this makes bruce wayne as bad as some of the mediocre domestic violence offenders out there? 🤔 why is this considered at all good or desirable content except its written by people who probably believe that spanking infants is also morally ok. 😬 yikes!
and dont gimme that “its to show that hes not 100% good!” LMAO THEN GIVE BRUCE WAYNE SOME CONSEQUENCES FOR GODDAMN ONCE!
