I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.

My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.

GOOD POINT

“22 year old puts on bat costume to punch criminals, has no powers” is hard enough to wrap your head around but throw in “24 year old adopts 12 year old who also punches criminals, has no powers” and that is not something that would ever occur to anyone

like OBVIOUSLY batman must be an older man who knows what he’s doing, and not just some traumatized 20-something accidentally collecting traumatized children

haha wow referring to bruce wayne as a 20-something really puts things in perspective. batman: probably actually younger than joey from friends.

to elaborate on my preferred timeline it goes:

orphaned at 12 (consistent with how his ptsd manifests)

tested out of high school and accepted into yale at 16 (because he is an overachieving type a motherfucker who channels his survivor’s guilt into being The Best)

spends six years at yale getting a jd/mba and using all his free time to travel the world and learn punches

ready to take over the family biz at 22

“hello alfred i am back from yale here are all of my fancy degrees ps i’m going to dress like a bat now good luck talking me out of it i’m technically a lawyer now lol”

TWENTY-TWO YEAR OLD BATMAN. TWENTY-THREE YEAR OLD BATMAN. GOING IT ALONE. IT’S JUST HIM.

this is probably when he is most nolan-esque because have you ever met a man in his early twenties who thinks it’s his job to save the world

they’re the fucking worst

TWENTY-FOUR YEAR OLD BATMAN MEETS A TWELVE YEAR OLD WHO JUST WATCHED HIS PARENTS DIE

twelve year old mistakenly assumes someone who is 24 is a grownup, no one corrects him

the fact that either of them survive is a miracle even before you take the night job into account, thank god for alfred or they would probably get scurvy

i told you that just so you would understand how i have justified it when i tell you that this makes Batman during his first year with Robin younger than:

Joey in season one of Friends
