So according to ghost-maker, only 5 living people have seen his whole face and only 3 know his real name.

let’s fact check that.

obviously Bruce knows both his name and face so there should be 2 more people who know his name and four(?) more who know his face.

Angel-Breaker also knows his name evidenced below, and we can presume she also has seen his face(they’re ex-lovers btw, if anyone is unaware)

(she calls him ‘khoa bear’ im shitting myself)

the third and in theory final person who knows Khoa’s name is Ras al ghul

but as you can see Talia is right there!, and so is that rando with the sword. And I’m aware that in shadow wars ras al ghul was killed, but I’m like 80% sure that ghost-maker said only 3 people knew his name before ras’ death.

also I’m aware that batman: the knight has multiple discrepancies with ghost-maker’s original introduction, so I guess this is me pointing out another. 

https://www.tumblr.com/thepineconelord/713683317919203328/ever-since-tynion-iv-stopped-writing-ghost-maker?source=share anyway here’s a post where I point more out more of those

I think a lot of things with ghost-maker like who knows his name/face are going to get muddled and changed, mainly because tynion left dc and ghost-maker doesn’t have one stable creative team writing him anymore.

anyway I would go through everyone who has seen his face but that’s too much work, I’d love to hear other’s thoughts on this

batman: the knight #6

[ID: Bruce Wayne crying after shooting someone. He throws the shotgun down and stutters out, “I d-didn't- I didn't have a choice, I-”. The man he shot warns him, “you may not even survive...” as Bruce starts to sob. END ID]

#crybaby bruce #my favourite bruce ! #always just thinking of the second panel... #he has tissues built into the cowl he's still just crying #anyways. posting these because i been writing a little thing for afterwards and how he has to cover him and khoa being there #then also make the cabin look 'lived in' (oh irony) and i have him carrying his dead mentor and putting luka's fingerprints on things #before having to take care of the body and then still travel and find the next mentor in his mission because its all thats left #also some fun survivalist bruce in getting out without any supplies purely bc my blorbo is gonna suffer <333 #bruce wayne #can i apologize to myself for for rambling in my own tags #posts from the crypt #crypt's panels #c: batman: the knight | i: 6 #btk

Save me pretty boy Btk Bruce....save me....

#bruce wayne #batman #he was so wide eyed and pretty in this comic #I will never shut up about BTK

[allgremlinart]

I love how within the Justice League and other hero circles Bruce is like considered the cold and analytical one whereas in his own comics both his villains and allies are like “,,,bro u are so soft u will not last one second,, u cry over everything u are so weak and soft and emotional” like its so FUNNY its like they see two different people

#thinking abt BTK 6 with Luka #and most of bruces interactions with his teachers tbh

[dykesbat]

ok nvm i lied back on hypothetical canonical bi bruce bc the idea of bruce going from flirting w john constantine in urban legends to straight up kissing khoa is so funny to me kjhsgvjhkjd

#the writers of ul and btk shaking their hands and nodding: oh its all coming together now #bruce wayne #ok tagging my stuff now i am so sorry but also my pinned post is bi batman this should be expected of me #dc comics

y’all i read this over 24hrs ago and i still cannot get this panel out of my head like i do not agree w talia’s characterization in this but she literally said “wyd” and mf responded with “becoming”

tf?? i would’ve stabbed him that very night

#ik i asked for more annoying bruce representation but #this is too far i fear #batman the knight #btk 10 #batman #bruce wayne #talia al ghul #brutalia

[cairoscene]

thinking about bruce training his kids. thinking about bruce as a teenager and a young adult training with the world's best and how that meant a lot of the time suffering daily pain and abuses for the sake of becoming the best. thinking about bruce passing along none of the abuse but all of the skill to his kids. learning how to teach better than he was taught. looking at dick and then jason and then tim etc and knowing that he can't hurt them the way he was hurt. wondering if that will underprepare them, if they will be weaker bc he himself is too weak to do it. thinking about bruce being a strict teacher still. he pushes them to be better, uncompromising, unsympathetic, but still training them in his own way, not in the way he was taught. thinking about bruce realizing his kids are better than him, will be better than him. despite all the times he fucked up, despite the things he couldn't spare them, the things he thought were too important to overlook.

#🤡🤡🤡 #bruce wayne #batman #batfam #thinking about btk too hard #about how bruce might teach his kids how to withstand torture #bc he knows it's a possibility #and he can't let them be unprepared #that's a death sentence #teaching them how to meditate #how to dissociate if needed #then making sure he always has an eye on them #anyway. haha

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, I’ve decided to make a long-post about the white-washing of Minhkhoa Khan aka the Ghost-maker.

To start I want to establish Khoa’s probable(it has not been said is in detail yet) race/ethnic background. Being from Singapore It’s very likely he’s Chinese, Malaysian, or Indian, as those are the most common ethnic groups in Singapore. Khoa’s last name ‘Khan’ is mostly a middle eastern(only in certian parts of the middle east)/east Asian name(I’m sure you can think of one guy in particular with this last name).

Anyway ethnic background aside, it’s been well-established that Ghost-maker is brown.

Here he is in batman v.3 109

batman v.3 106 (ft. bruce for white guy reference)

batman 2021 annual

batman: the knight #4 (again ft bruce for white guy reference)

Point being: he’s not white

So then it’s a little off to get hit with this face reveal in Batman Incorporated #7

Now does he look like a white guy? Not necessarily, he could be a lighter skinned Asian person, but I don’t appreciate the deviation from his earlier depictions as being darker. Colorism is a big deal, especially in Asia right now. Pale skin is seen as much more beautiful than dark skin, and this has led to many people doing things such as skin bleaching to achieve lighter skin tones. With this being the current state of things, it’s so important to have visibility for darker Asian people in media, and for this reason it comes across as a shitty move for dc to white-wash Minhkhoa.

Additionally dc had this alternate cover for batman inc #8, because they’re so good at diversity and totally didn’t just whitewash this guy :)

(btw not saying dc did any of this on purpose/with malicious intent, but rather that regardless of intention this was bad and they should fix it)

tldr: dc white-washed ghost-maker despite him being previously portrayed as much darker-skinned
