is it just me or is batman like. significantly more tolerable outside of gotham comics than in
#my laptop's still letting me use tumblr without major issues and i'll make that everyone else's problem
#anyway. i'm not saying batman outside of gotham is never insufferable to read bc he absolutely can be
#when they write him like a gary sue and pretend that he's the most powerful member of a justice league that includes you know
#superman and wonder woman
#but also from the admittedly limited justice league comics i've read so far as well as the cameos i've seen of bats in other comics
#he's just like. 200% more likeable
#this post is about wonder woman issue 293 btw
#he's out there doing a group hug without major blackmail and not protesting when clark announces bats and he both love diana
#he's also engaging in casual conversation and treating clark and diana as on equal footing with him
#and he didn't even have to go through a 12 issue arc or have an emotional breakdown about any of it
#it's like. gotham comics are almost 100% guaranteed to work their reality around him and make sure you know he's the bestest ever
#and all the energy goes towards making him grim and serious and traumatized while also being cool in an action figure kinda way
#meanwhile a lot of comics outside of gotham go more like. hey this is bruce. he's a cool superhero who's really smart and competent
#he's also kind of a loser who takes himself way too seriously and like maybe two people in this building like him
#and the rest are not afraid to make fun of him either to his face or the moment he turns around
#i know this is not the case for all comics and there's still a very very good chunk of them that make him the Coolest Boy Ever
#but like. even just. seeing him treat other people as being on equal footing with him or even better than him
#just makes him SO much more tolerable
#like tower of babel or whatever that arc was called had a bunch of rlly dumb takes on how bruce could 'outplay' the justice league
#but like. bruce still treated the rest of the justice league as on his level or better. it's why he bothered to MAKE those plans
#you just don't rlly get that in gotham. the closest we get is if nightwing shows up bc then we might get an 'oh he's the best of us'
#inner monolgue about how proud bruce is of dick. sometimes we'll get an inner monolgue about the other heroes too
#but those monologues are the exception not the rule and they are almost never said out loud to anyone
#and if they ARE it's only after an arc of bruce being a fucking ass as an apology and it's. insufferable.
#idk maybe it's just bc i read more batman comics than justice league comics but still.
#bruce is usually just. SO much more likeable in basically any comic not set in gotham to me
#i bet if you made him spend a few weeks in metropolis or something his mental health issues would go away actually
#he's just vitamin d deficient and it's making him cranky
