i find it so embarrassing when i’m talking about comics to someone irl and accidentally call the characters their real names because why am i on a first name basis with batman

[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over

only Fiona apple can understand my deranged mind

its not a huge gripe and i won't get on anyone's case about it but i don't like it when people call Batman a mother. the implication that caring for a child and wanting a child must be maternal is something i find a little gross. he's not mom coded and he isn't single mother coded, there's just a very narrow definition of what people think is a mother and father's place. the fact that he appears "mom/single-mother" coded has less to do with his character and more to do with that narrow definition of motherhood (and fatherhood)
