TikTokers are such pussies when it comes to ships. “B-but they’re not canon 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😖😖” honey back in my day we shipped characters from entirely different medias uphill both ways in the snow
We need to reintroduce crackshipping into the zeitgeist. We use to be a society damnit.
Reminds me of when I saw the following exchange
Good on him now he can pay rent and bill
I hate Bruce's "I don't kill because once I start, I wouldn't be able to stop"
Like I simply do not buy it. Murder is not a potato chip Bruce. I think he is full of shit and a messy bitch who lives for the drama. I am certain Bruce has some kind of valid reason for not killing, but I don't believe that this is it.
No no let’s dig into this. And let’s not go into the obvious of, “murders bad” or “he’d feel guilty” like let’s try to find another reason to why this bitch man doesn’t kill anyone, including his son’s murderer
So there are generally around 5-6 "big reasons" traditionally given for why Bruce doesn't kill his villains, many of which have been explored in comics and others of which have been discussed and debated ad nauseum around the internet. Here's the four I tend to find most compelling:
As an expansion of #2, you could very reasonably make the point that "but it's the Joker! He's different!" But is he? Is he really? He's certainly done more permanent personal harm to the Batfamily than most other villains (Babs and Jason specifically), but what about Two-Face smashing Dick to pieces with a baseball bat in Robin: Year One? What about Black Mask torturing Steph to death during War Games? What about Shiva killing Cass in Batgirl (even if she brought her back)? What about Ra's nearly killing Tim in Red Robin? What about Talia murdering Damian by proxy (via Heretic) in Batman Inc.? What about Bane murdering Alfred in City of Bane? Where's the line?
Bruce has seen 3-4 people he's either legally or nominally responsible for die on his watch, another 3 tortured to near-death conditions on multiple occasions, 1 permanently injured, and had a villain murder the man who raised him and leave his body for Bruce to find, and yet the only thing anyone really ever talks about re: Bruce killing is Jason and the Joker. If the line is torturing one of his kids (or those flying under his banner) half to death, by all rights he should have killed Two-Face and Black Mask for what they did to Dick and Steph. If it's killing a 'family' member, he should have killed Joker, Black Mask, Bane, and Talia (also Lex Luthor and...technically Jacob Kane, considering everyone thought Tim was dead during the Rebirth arc).
It's not just the Joker at stake here: if we start saying "Batman should kill the Joker because of what he did to Jason [and everyone else]," you start getting into really thorny questions about well...a lot of Bruce's villains have done some ridiculously morally reprehensible stuff, including mass murder and irreparable personal harm to someone he considers family. What makes the Joker's mass murder different from Ivy's mass murder (and yes, canonically they are both mass murderers) that justifies the Joker's death but not Ivy's?
You can of course justify that by saying "but Ivy's not unredeemable! She can be reasoned with and rehabilitated!" but...what if Bruce had made the decision that she was unredeemable and worthy of death before her No Man's Land-era redemption arc kicked off? It loops back around to #1, that Bruce doesn't feel personally qualified to make that moral and ethical decision about who gets to live or die, because he thinks everyone has the personal capacity to change (and what right does he have to take that possibility away from someone?)
....also personally I think "they deserve to die" and "I deserve to kill them/let them die" aren't morally/ethically equivalent statements and Bruce can certainly think Joker deserves to die without also thinking he is morally allowed to kill him (or morally allowed to let someone else kill him when he has the ability to stop them).
#SAY THAT. #my go to whenever this pops up is somewhere along the lines of "what is he...a cop????". #bc like!!!! half the reason batman (and most of the bat family) are so compelling to me is their deep belief in restorative justice!! #its certainly simpler to just kill someone who's done wrong to you and others and walk away believing you at least prevented further harm. #its farrrrr more narratively fascinating (to me) to find compassion for someone you despise #and actively take a role in helping them better themselves. #thats WHY batman works in a city like gotham. otherwise yes ur so right he'd just be another cop. #and i absolutely love how u pointed out how many horrible things the other rogues have done bc i feel like fandom often forgets that. #(i know i certainly do). #but yes vv much so!!! where is the line???? what makes killing joker ok but not two-face? or black mask? or harley? #AGAGAGAGAG now i'm just reiterating ur points. #op im sorry i'll shut up #i just!!!!!! adore!!! this!!!! meta!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!
NASA advertising "do you want to be an astronaut" to tumblr users surely means something. What have you found out there, NASA? What have you found that you believe tumblr users, specifically, are best equipped to handle?
The distribution of results thus far doesn't surprise me, but it is in fact very funny how many folks in the notes feel the need to justify picking "unassuming one who all the other goons are nervous around for no clear reason" by explaining how totally intimidating they are in real life.
Jeebus, look how big our goon squad has gotten...
I mean, there were empires conquered with smaller numbers of goons.
no both option. pick one
This is what it feels like when someone infodumps to me. By the way
izutsumi is fucking drowning
This ain't about her.
"does it have to be queer"
yes, next question, unless the next question is "why", in which case I am pulling the lever
Could it be more queer?
