This Hurts On So Many Levels, So Many...

This hurts on so many levels, so many...

Since I’ve become known on here for making lists here’s a list of comic panels that make me so horrifically and inconsolably upset that I wanna rip my own face off

(fair warning a lot of these involve child death because this is dc we’re talking about)

1. Dick comes back from a mission in space and finds out that Jason died

The New Titans #55

2. Bruce promises a dying Steph that he will ensure the baby she gave up “will never want for anything”

Batman: War Games (2005) Act 3 #8

3. This specific artist’s version of Bruce holding Jason’s body

(I can’t find the source no matter how hard I look I’m so sorry)

4. Bruce hugs Damian’s torn Robin uniform to his chest shortly after Damian died

Batman and Robin (2011) #18

5. Roy wonders if Lian’s last words were “daddy help”

Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal #1

6. Also, Roy saying “love you, Lian” when he thinks he’s about to die

The Flash 2021 Annual vol 1 #1

7. Donna snaps her zombified baby’s neck

Blackest Night: Titans

8. Barbara gets frustrated with Cass’s inability to read and calls her stupid

Batgirl (2000) #54

9. Bruce beats the Joker while yelling Jason’s name

Batman: Knightfall vol 1

10. Alfred promises 8 year old Bruce that he’ll teach him how to use a rapier “like Zorro” if he agrees to go to his parents’ funeral

Batman: Curse of the White Knight #7

Both are evil.

The thing is- the thing is, Bruce Wayne is a good man.

No one should've allowed him to be a dad.

(Epiphany when my brain did a thing and connected Batman and Endeavour. Different motivations, the Mission and Number One, enough similarities in the results and the collateral tho. It doesn't have to be an exact equivalent, kid per kid, but mha structured hero society, where Hero is a profession and not just an act, I think help clearly define the lines. Not every good man is suited to be a good father. Here's the 'adopted family' version, and here's the 'blood family' version.)

this whole situation is very funny

Are you insane!!! don't give DC ideas

If you really want to fuck with Batman

You should kill all his children with a gun. In the alley where his parents were killed.
