istg it pisses me off so much when people say that they only ship batjokes if it's in Lego form
like, guys, there is literal DECADES of batjokes content. decades of queer coding and implications and love confessions. I don't care if you don't ship it in general, but you have to admit that no other two characters in DC have been this heavily shipped by authors before.
The only reason that it's not canon yet is bc of the homophobic nightmare legacy DC has. Scott Snyder has gone on record multiple times to say that they are gay. Just take a look at Death of The Family (the special edition that's from Joker's perspective) or Sean Murphy's White Knight.
Ship all or none. The only reason that the Lego Batman has such good Batjokes content is because of their dynamic in every other comic EVER. Sure, Joker is much less of a threat in the Lego Batman Movie, but the reason that any of his interactions with Bats are based off of past DC content. (i.e. "What about that time with the two boats," "This is better than the two boats", Alfred listing all of Bruce's past mental breakdowns, etc...)
Sorry about the rant I'm just sick of it.
If you want great breakdowns of queer coding in The Lego Batman Movie and other DC media here are two!
