Batjokes isn't a fangirl invention

here have this excerpt from an interview that's making me... idfk i can't even describe in words my reaction to this. snyder you can't do this to me. holy fuck

bro thats such a hidden gem.

This is what you want too, isn’t it, Thomas? To turn our lives into a bad dream… to erase our painful existence of grief and emptiness… to end it all.

THANK YOU!! And yes! Of course! I love talking about this :D

I do have to say that there is already a thread about this that's pretty popular, still, I have the images ready at any time soo

Joker's innuendos have to mean something, right? You can't tell me he wouldn't actually want to do the do with Batman. I get that it's doing the thing where queer person is bad and predatory, but I doubt that was why they removed the lines at all. Changing the word love to devotion doesn't make any sense at all, and I am especially sad that they removed Batman's 'darling' because it totally changes the mood of the scene.

Hi! Yes, it's from Injustice: Year Zero #14:

I recently compiled a list of comics in which Bruce saves Joker's life here, if it helps. And I guess I should add the World's Finest issue on there too once it comes out :)) Looking forward to it.

Though yeah, "Stop protecting your monster" is such a raw line, I love it. One of my fave reactions to Bruce's utter refusal to let Joker die. Though I gotta give Frank Castle his due as well, since his reaction to it in Punisher/Batman: Deadly Knights is really funny:

I got you. “Batgirl” 2016, issue 46!
