You Know, If Any Of The Bats Are Going To Kill The Joker: It Should Probably Be Dick Or Duke.

You know, if any of the bats are going to kill the Joker: it should probably be Dick or Duke.

Like, I get it. 'Jason kills the Joker' sounds like the most obvious solution. But the thing is: Jason literally does not care about the Joker.

"But he's the man that killed him-" Sure. But that was a While ago. (At least if you ignore all the rebooting of the universe). Sure, Joker is a big symptom of what Jason sees as the problem. Which is: Crime needs to be controlled. Because more than anyone, he knows it won't be stopped. (It especially won't be stopped if no one is allowed to kill the bad guys).

But here's the thing. Jason's arc does not, and Should Not, revolve around Joker at all. Jason's story really never has been about revenge, and he should be Allowed to Move On from this one of the many people that hurt him. This isn't a: 'Oh Jason should learn to forgive and let go and not take revenge' this is a: 'the Joker is pathetic. Killing him just straight up doesn't do anything to Jason's arc or character.'

But Dick? Dick whose TRIED to kill the Joker? Dick who first donned the mask and tights to take revenge? Who wanted to make up for not being there for Jason? Yeah. This is the character that Would benefit from killing the Joker.

The first Robin has been around almost as long as the Joker has (both made in the same year) and it would be nothing more than divine justice for him to finally be the one to end him.

Well that's all well and good, you say. But what about Duke? What does he have to do with this?

You mean other than Duke being Awesome and he deserves to?

Duke's parents were hit by Joker gas. Pretty famously part of his character's back story. Duke has already killed a 'mirage' of Joker in the comics, which I think would be neat foreshadowing.

And think about it. The guy with light powers, the guy that works the day shift, by all means the Proof that Gotham really does care. Really does take things seriously. Why Shouldn't he get to kill off the personification of apathy?

Now the other point, and this is really just a personal vendetta, I would love Love the character that is Constantly ignored (at least by fandom) to kill off DCs 'specialist awful white man.'

The other person who should get to kill the Joker is Barbara Gordon (for self explanatory reasons) except I don't trust any writer to do it.

(She should get to beat that Thing into a white and red Pulp and shred his remains. No 'pull a trigger' no 'hire a swat team.' She gets to do it with her Bare Fists)

The eighth image is a close-up of Kim Dokja with smile and dull eyes against a black background. The text post is by Tumblr user raylangivins and reads, "I love a character who's like "I know exactly who I am and I'm being very authentic about it" and then when you analyse his behaviour even a little bit you realise his self perception is completely selective and delusional."

something that i really like about blue eye samurai, now that im thinking about it, is that it discusses violence against women without becoming torture porn. like, in a lot of media that portrays women's issues, they show you that scene. like they give you this extended visual of a woman experiencing something traumatic and then laud themselves as feminist for doing so.

blue eye samurai doesn't do that. the whole show is set in a world that is extremely antagonistic toward women, and it makes a point to tell you that being a woman right now sucks, because they are property and are used sexually. but even though it doesn't shy away from this, it doesn't show you the violence itself, which you would almost expect it to because of how graphic the rest of the show is.

im thinking specifically of kinuyo. they very well could have shown us a scene of her being abused, but they didn't. they didn't show the abuse itself, but they did show how it affected her. they showed her seeing a doctor for her sores. they could have made this incredibly traumatic and grotesque scene a spectacle, showing us exactly how powerless she is and how powerful he is. they could have shown us this incredibly triggering event in full detail for our entertainment, but they didn't. they chose not to. and i think that's how it should be.

it is not necessary to have an extended visual and auditory reenactment of violence against women. we the audience understood the gravity of the situation and were able to empathize without needing that scene. having that scene would have completely detracted from the point they are trying to make. it would have turned something completely reprehensible that women everywhere fear because it's a very real issue into entertainment.

There’s something extremely heartbreaking about Nicos cameo/first words in the show being him looking for Bianca. He’s always going to be the little boy looking for his big sister. Season three is going to be the end of me.

okay so the batfamily right? But telenovela style! Like just envision this with me yeah?

All of their drama and baggage presented in a cheesy overdramatic-to-the-point-of-loopimg-back-around-to-comedy ongoing show. The mess of their civilian responsibilities clashing with their nighttime lifestyles.

The messy relationships! Big reveals where we find out the woman dating the father has also been seeing his ward/son. And then an even bigger twist when we find out she is actually a supervillain! Or when your ex girlfriend starts dating your adoptive sister!

A love triangle between a childhood best friend and your superhero teammate!! Who will the young man choose? The handsome seemingly safer civilian option- who actually becomes the centre of all strange supernatural encounters, or the cute bad boy with really really nice hair- a forbidden romance because our bachelor cannot reveal his civillain identity to him!!

The dramatic twist when one of the characters finds out his mother was not his real mother! And a another twist when we find out his real mother is actually a criminal, and another twist when she hands her son over to the big bad. But there's another twist! The big bad ties her up too! And an EVEN BIGGER twist! The big bad cannot be taken down because he is an ambassador now somehow!!???

Navigating life with a younger brother who replaced you in your vigilante gig! (This becomes a cycle with each new kid). Trying to navigate having new step-parent every few months because your adoptive father keeps switching them out for even more problematic people!

The classic cop/detective trope where the laws and rules get disobeyed in the name of protecting family and taking down international criminals!

Wind blowing dramatically through their hair as they have an intense argument on the rooftops of their city, with very dramatic Spanish music in the background. Maybe even a narrator guy lmao.

Come on this is perfect telenovela material! I so badly wanna see or read a version of the batfamily that is in this particular style. It'd just be so damn funny!

HIM. HIM!!! MY FAVOURITE BLORBO 😭😭😭
