I LOVE THE DICHOTOMY OF THE COWL AGING DICK BUT THE BATSUIT IN ISOLATION HIGHLIGHTING HIS YOUTH

"He's growing on me."

Sometimes I’m like “I don’t get why people make a big deal out of Discowing’s V-neck when it isn’t even exceptional compared to other heroes of the era”.

Me, finishing my cocktail: “Man, I should make that post. Really kick the hornet’s nest.”

They gotta stop aging Robin up I swear to god. He’s like fully an adult man half the time and it fucking sucks. Make him recognizably a child or don’t bother including him at all. “But it makes people uncomfortable” yeah dude! Because it is! You’re never going to make it okay so make it interesting! Make it mean something! Like Robin is fully just a grooming story. I don’t mean sexually but it’s a narrative about a man convincing himself that his relationship with a kid is so special and unique that the normal boundaries between child and adult can be suspended, that the child’s circumstances and capabilities and needs are so extraordinary that they are rendered a kind of un-child, and that the scale of their eagerness and want counts as consent. Robin’s already traumatized, so what is there to lose?

Batman is a hyper-intelligent, hyper-powerful Sherlock Holmes character piloted by the ghost of a lonely child. He’s a genius who uses his intelligence to justify acting upon the emotional impulses of an 8 year old with horrific trauma and unmet needs. He uses children for his own emotional gratification and convinces himself that, while it might not be right, it’s not wrong enough to stop doing it.
