When Damian’s in the picture it’s all “He’s bad for the Batfam because it’s meant to be an adoptive found family! A biological child ruins the concept!” Yet now everyone is fine with Alfred’s grand-niece joining the family for no other reason but to fill in Alfred’s role? Not even trying to hate here I just don’t understand the double standard.

Whenever I see people act like Damian got a better Bruce experience than the other batkids b/c "Bruce has learned from his mistakes" I feel like they're only reading OOC fanfic and WFA.

fraction’s batman was always unimaginative at best but it feels particularly sinister to tear down the character of a brown woman (who’s one of the strongest and genuine love interests of bruce) in favour of the new white love interest, completely just making shit up to paint her as an unfeeling seductress AGAIN while insulting her culture for no added plot value all at the same time. how the hell do you even manage that in one single page

saying that talia ran away after dropping damian in his lap LAUGHING and that bruce was unwilling the whole time (grown man mind you) had to fix the ticking time bomb that is his mixed race child because he grew up with her cultural traditions instead of his own and that the new white love interest is needed here more than his own mother. who are these people WHERE AM I

Defending Talia from racists through social media isn't enough actually I need like. A knife or something. I need DC to hire sensitivity consultants to vet their writers at the absolute fucking least

something that feels particularly hard to swallow about writers constantly mischaracterising talia’s relationship with damian and completely removing love and affection from it in an attempt to paint her as unfeeling and apathetic and cruel is that (especially from the pov of a brown/asian woman myself) family values, for better or for worse, are such an integral part of asian culture in general, but that’s one part of talia’s character that is consistent in how she’s torn between family loyalty and romantic love BECAUSE SHE LOVES SO MUCH!!! she loves sooo much and so hard. and they want me to believe she ran away laughing i feel sick

one more thing about that batman panel. what a stupid justification, annika knows that damian is robin so you tell her that you thought batman could help him grow in ways you couldn’t? i don’t think i’m fit to raise my son let me just call the bat themed vigilante, he’ll for sure know what to do. what?? this is stupid. you created a stupid problem, give it a stupid “solution” and you made bruce looks stupid. wtf

anyways lads, talia al ghul in the first few days after leaving her son with bruce. talia al ghul walking away with a feeling of suffocating emptiness. talia al ghul walking away with that sinking feeling in her gut and that tightness in her chest that comes with grieving and missing someone who isn’t dead. talia al ghul swallowing down the lump in her throat, forced to go on with her day to day life and maintain her decorum without her son. talia ‘my fate is to be a mother and suffer for it’ al ghul

saying the league of assassins is a cultural thing is crazy by the way. as far as i know, neither arabs nor chinese people have this custom of creating cults. could be just me, though… 🫩
