We all know who Copia's daddy is (and what he is), but imagine an alternate universe
Nihil: If I were the father, could I do this?

not gonna lie homos and homies, there's something incredibly, incredibly depressing about Batmanverse and the concept of Batjokes in particular, and it's not the murder murder stab stab death plots.
It's the collective unmentioned canon agreement around these characters never being able to escape the confinements of their narrative.
they get pushed to the very edges of their predefined thresholds, they toe the lines of their stories, they poke it and probe it and sometimes even flirt with the possibility of crossing the bounds of their narratives, but they never break throught the structure. they never go over the line, always sorta of wiggling in place; batjokes in particular is the most enticing and intriguing stagnant 85+ years story i have ever seen.
There are unspoken rules around who Batman is, what he will and will not do, and those rules are rarely questioned, if ever. No matter what he does, he cannot be in love with a man, and he cannot ever love Joker in particular. He cannot experience mental and emotional peace. he cannot kill and he cannot show sincere emotional vulnurability, he cannot experience his love in an open and unashamed way. His narrative thresholds confine him to a socially sanctioned image that is meant to be familiar and tangible to the average straight dude, and it's quite frankly exhausting to witness. Whatever happens to Batman's story, he never arrives at physical emotional or mental peace and on a foundational level his tale never changes, not really. You can almost feel it when he constantly bumps into this unspoken narrative rules and stops in his tracks, each and every goddamn time, for 85+ years. It's like a keyed up nutcracker toy soldier bumping into a wall, stumble back two steps, bump into the walls, stumble back two steps, bumpt into the wall,
As someone who loves stories that love to question their own narrative points and break through them and do something different, staring at Batmanverse comics for too long at a time lowkey feels heartbreaking, nothing ever truly changes in this bitch.

you can see, right? focus on your vision. focus on a tree next to you. don't get closer to it. notice how you can see the individual components of every small leaf that's on it. crazy, right? if you can, turn this ability to see on and off. repeat this process a few times.
now look at a textured wall. notice the intricacies of its texture. if you blur your vision, is the texture still there? would you know it's there if you hadn't seen it before? do you wonder what it'd feel to touch it? or are you already familiar with the feeling? this is a visual experiment. do not touch the textured wall.
finally move your attention to a cheap LCD display. focus, just enough to notice that faint flicker, as it turns on and off multiple times a second. what frequency do you think that is? 60hz? 50hz? I'm putting my bet on 25hz. would it be noticeable if it were flickering at 50hz or more? have you ever noticed a flicker of 50hz or more? what do you think about your eyesight? do you wish it'd be better? do you wish it'd be worse? would you be willing to make this change by yourself?

Figured out why Pacific division AHL hockey is the way it is...drove down to Fresno and back in 7 hours today, hit southbound traffic going out of the Bay Area, 15 minute turnaround in Fresno before heading back up and man let me tell you, I am TRULY ready to start shit with literally anyone. Like no fucken wonder every AHL team in California is at all times committing acts of violence, if I had to spend an entire season driving on busted ass freeways in the Valley I'd try to kill people too at any opportunity. Holy shit lmao
