what the FUCK is going on right now. what is going on

this post is so funny because it has over 10k notes and no context but all you have to do is look at the time stamp to know exactly what the context is

Kevin??

sunday evening dont trust yourself hold the line

see the thing is i'm not really a fervent comic book fan but i'm geared in juuuuuust enough that I keep rotating that panel of absolute batman literally drop-kicking a child in the back of my mind like fish in a low resolution gif

no boyfriend no girlfriend no money no prospects but at least i got all these images on my cell phone

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

62 8

Absolutely nuts how they made up a number for this satire post and the correction is that reality is *more absurd* than the number they chose

no i’m afraid it’s even worse than that. 62 was correct in 2016 when the original post was made.

i suggest eliminating the outliers

rough drafting it here but i think Batman has a special connection to the concept of child sidekicks in a way that defies modern feelings about child soldiers because he was the child who lost everything and felt he needed to make a change in the world but was denied the agency and choice to do anything. child Bruce would have fit right in with any of the Robins if he'd had a Batman and it's the fact that he didn't that ultimately drives him to extend the choice he never got. it was never about soldiers or "refusing to protect the children from themselves," it is, within the acceptable morality of the genre, respecting a child's personhood and ability to make decisions for themselves and giving them opportunities their adult never had. it's why you can't take the Robins away from Batman without significantly changing the character, because Batman was born from child Bruce's most heartfelt wish to be able to DO something about all the injustice in the world and so to deny other children that is to deny himself

i have a suggestion
