September 2010. As Bruce contemplates his very narrow escape from the Black Glove in BATMAN #701, he fields a call from Superman, who is always operating on a completely different wavelength. Morrison's observation here about Batman's relationship with his costumed colleagues isn't exactly new — witness the well-known scene in JUSTICE LEAGUE: TAS where he plunges from the sky while laconically reminding his comrades over the radio that he can't fly, at all — but it is succinct. The central theme of the "Batman: R.I.P." story of which this is part, and really Morrison's key insight into Batman as a character, is that being Batman is part of Bruce Wayne's determination to always control the narrative, no matter what. This brief scene is a reminder that however much love or respect Bruce may have for Clark, Superman's mere presence makes that control very difficult, because Superman by his very nature exists in a world of alien visitors, cosmic crises, and evil gods.
In the late '80s and throughout the '90s, it became very de mode to insist that Batman had a sort of Luthorian dread of super-people and was never more than one or two steps away from plotting their extermination, but Morrison's take is simpler than that: The core issue for Bruce is not necessarily that he mistrusts people with superhuman powers, but that when he's around them, they expect him to be a superhero, and not just a costumed mystery-man with a head full of esoteric knowledge and a belt full of Bat-gimmicks. It's true, too — I'm reminded of WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #278, back in 1982, where Katar Hol decides it's time for some regime change on his home planet Thanagar and recruits Superman and Batman to help him. What's most striking about the story is that neither Katar nor Superman even bothers to ask if Bruce might need to stop by the cave to pick up anything before they fly off to invade an alien world 400 light years away. They just expect him to roll with it, because after all, he's Batman, isn't he?

Years ago these was some kind of tagging game about pics of your celebrity 'crushes' (is there a better word to use?) Let's say- eight different people
8 of my celebrity crushes 🌿
(edited because it's much better like this)
1. Sir McCartney
... To say he changed my life is not enough; he took me into another universe and OH GOD I OWE HIM EVERYTHING 🛐 A M È N
2. Gillan
... without him no prog, no fusion, no metal. He got me into many genres I didn't know they exist!! Honestly, how could I survive these difficult years 2022 and 2023 without him. Mwah also to the other Purps
3. Hammill
... actually I'm a sucker for his voice more than him as a human but it's a grower without any doubt.
4. Gallagher
... purest human being in the whole rock and roll business.
5. Page
... no description needed
6. John Lawton
... definitely the first one I think of to brighten up someone's day. The Humphrie image!! Just as good as Ronnie James Dio. It's so fun to stalk him. Rest in peace man.
7. Glover
... to call him a crush is a crime, but, to exclude him in this list too. And because he's Welsh
Plus the whole Yes band minus Rick Wakeman :0
8. Carl Palmer
... my little meow meow 😻
Tagging: @shamanbluesss @boilmynoodles @jimmysdragonsuit13 @probably-not-mig @milkyway-ashes @rocknrollappreciator @youre-no-good @fiammee

Desperately need to write a fanfic when Lois was dating Bruce but Superman keeps picking fights with Batman and won’t tell anyone why he’s so upset. (Jealousy)
